About this course
Bocaire Country Club, nestled in the heart of Boca Raton, Florida, represents a strategic evolution of Florida golf course design. Eschewing the typical flat terrain often associated with the region, this course carves a thoughtful path through a landscape subtly shaped to offer more than meets the eye. Wide fairways initially lull golfers into a false sense of security, quickly revealing the need for strategic positioning to navigate approach shots into subtly contoured greens. Originally designed by Joe Lee, Bocaire underwent a significant renovation by Kipp Schulties that brought the course into the modern era. This update preserved the spirit of the original design while enhancing playability and visual appeal. Known among its close-knit membership, Bocaire emphasizes a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that allows members to enjoy the course's challenges. While not a regular fixture on professional tournament rotations, Bocaire holds a cherished place within its community. The club's membership, known for their passion for the game and camaraderie, frequently engage in friendly competitions and social events. It’s a place where the competition is strong but always good-natured, and where a post-round drink is as valued as a well-played approach.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Bocaire Country Club touch down at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, a straightforward forty-minute drive north along I-95 before slipping west into Boca Raton's manicured residential enclaves. Palm Beach International offers an equally viable gateway for those approaching from the north, while Boca Raton Airport caters discreetly to private aviation, positioning guests mere minutes from the club's guarded entrance. The final stretch trades coastal highway for tree-canopied boulevards and gated turns, the transition from public thoroughfare to private sanctuary both swift and deliberate - a fitting threshold to one of South Florida's most established member retreats.
