Boca West Country Club

Fazio II at Boca West isn't just another Florida course; it's a strategic challenge carved from the heart of Boca Raton, where water hazards command respect on almost every hole. Designed by Arthur Hills in the late 1980s during golf's strategic era, the course was later refined by a Fazio. The course winds through a landscape marked by lagoons and palm trees. Known for its risk-reward equation, Fazio II compels players to choose their lines wisely, rewarding aggressive play with birdie opportunities but severely punishing errant shots. The course is neither overly long nor especially short, favoring players who can shape the ball and manage their game effectively. The layout subtly directs play toward a controlled fade, allowing the golfer to open up the sightlines of the fairways. While not a stage for major championships, Fazio II maintains a strong regional presence, known for its challenging layout that tests low handicappers from surrounding affluent neighborhoods. The course maintains a strong regional presence, valued by locals as one of the club's premier championship courses. Fazio II's membership, though active and passionate about the game, often gathers at the clubhouse's 19th hole to share stories and tips, proving that the course's greatest appeal lies not just in its challenging layout, but in fostering a vibrant community.
