(Press Release) ​BOCA RATON, FLA (April 1, 2026) – Boca West Country Club broke ground this month for a complete renovation of its Golf Course 1, designed by Fry/Straka Global Golf Design, with an expected completion date of December 2026.  Golf Course 1 is one of four championship golf courses at Boca West, and the renovation is part of a $95 million Capital Improvement Plan that includes multiple phases.

The renovation will introduce a dynamic collection of new golf amenities, highlighted by the 7,300-yard championship golf course designed to enhance both playability and the overall member experience.  Highlights include two new on-course hospitality stations, a thoughtfully designed 9-hole short course featuring yardages ranging from 70 to 110 yards, and an expansive 65,000-square-foot putting green anchored by an immersive, 18-hole putting course.  Located just beyond Boca West’s new Aquatics Center, these additions further reinforce the Club’s commitment to innovation, lifestyle-driven recreation, and best-in-class golf experiences, creating a vibrant gathering space that blends championship golf with modern social engagement, a total golf playground for our Members.
 
The comprehensive renovation will dramatically transform the character of the golf course through the introduction of meaningful elevation changes and strategically repositioned hazards designed to challenge the Club’s most accomplished players while enhancing playability and enjoyment for golfers at all skill levels.  Fry/Straka’s design will sculpt bold, rolling terrain and dynamic contours that introduce a level of vertical movement and visual drama rarely seen in South Florida, giving the course a distinctive identity and a sense of place unlike anything else in the region.  The result will be a more strategic, visually compelling golf experience that rewards thoughtful shot-making while remaining welcoming and engaging for every member.
 
“Fry/Straka developed this plan to deliver a reimagined golf experience, a true golf life reimagined with forward-thinking amenities that position Boca West as a standard-bearer for next-generation country club offerings in South Florida and beyond,” said Matthew Linderman, CCM, President, COO and General Manager of Boca West Country Club.
 
“Redesigning Course 1 presents a tremendous opportunity for Boca West to enhance one of its premier golf courses while introducing entirely new ways to experience the game,” said Jason Straka. “We are creating a course unlike anything else in the area, one that will truly reshape how Boca West Members engage with and enjoy the game. At the same time, the reimagined routing allows for the addition of both a short course and a putting course, offering a variety of golf experiences designed to appeal to players of all skill levels.”
 
The Groundbreaking follows news of Boca West’s pioneering $20 million, state-of-the-art Pickleball Center—scheduled for completion in May 2026—and builds on a series of transformative enhancements that continue to reinforce the Club’s leadership in luxury residential living, including:
 

• The $70 million, 110,000-square-foot, fully renovated, two-story Lifestyle Center
• The state-of-the-art 96,000-square-foot Aquatic Complex, featuring five resort-style pools and a new poolside restaurant bar
