About this course
Boca Raton Resort's historic golf course, woven into the fabric of South Florida's burgeoning golf scene in the late 1920s, presents a unique blend of Golden Age charm and modern playability. Carved from the flat, sandy landscape of Boca Raton, the course offers a classic parkland feel, demanding strategic shot placement and rewarding thoughtful approaches. Its gentle undulations and mature landscaping create a visually appealing experience, though its lack of significant elevation change keeps the challenge grounded. Originally designed by William Flynn, celebrated for his work at Shinnecock Hills and Lancaster Country Club, the course has seen renovations over the years, including enhancements by Robert Trent Jones Sr., ensuring it remains relevant for the modern game. While not known for hosting major championships, the course remains a popular destination for both seasoned golfers and those new to the game. Boca Raton Resort boasts an active and dedicated membership, largely drawn from the surrounding affluent community and the seasonal visitors who flock to the area for its warm climate. The club, steeped in social tradition, is as well-known for its elegant dining and social events as it is for its golf course. The club’s proximity to the Boca Raton’s Mizner Park and luxury beachfront helps cement its status as a quintessential South Florida destination.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), a straightforward thirty-minute drive north along Florida's Gold Coast, though Palm Beach International (PBI) offers an equally convenient alternative from the opposite direction. Private aviation is well-served by Boca Raton Airport, a discreet executive facility mere minutes from the resort's gates. The final approach trades interstate efficiency for the manicured calm of East Camino Real, where royal palms frame the entrance to the iconic pink tower - a Mediterranean Revival landmark that has anchored this stretch of coastline since 1926, signaling arrival at one of Florida's most storied resort destinations.
