ABOUT BOCA RIO GOLF CLUB
A member-owned luxury golf club designed to be a sanctuary from daily cares and collegial refuge where friends share pleasures and triumphs. An elegant retreat offering camaraderie and friendly competition, Boca Rio Golf Club is truly a place where luxury meets tradition.
Boca Rio Golf Club is unlike any other in South Florida. Situated on 200 acres of native Florida wilderness, Boca Rio is a magnificently lush, rolling golf course featuring impeccable fairways, quick, undulating greens and gleaming white sand bunkers with no developed real estate.
Designed by world-renowned golf architect Robert Von Hagge, Boca Rio Golf Club's 7,100 par 72 layout is sure to challenge even the most seasoned golfer. Golf purists are amazed at the spectacular beauty of the course.
Founded in 1967 by seven men who established traditions that continue to guide the policies of the club today, Boca Rio Golf Club brings together men and women of varied backgrounds who share a passion for golf.
Traditions at Boca Rio include no tee times, so members can play when they want, and fore caddies for added convenience. A membership cap of 150 ensures more than just membership - one becomes part of the Boca Rio family.
Boca Rio Golf Club’s luxurious 36,000-square-foot Clubhouse was designed to be relaxed, yet sophisticated. Featuring personalized services, delicious cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere for friends to meet, our Clubhouse puts each individual member at the center of the Boca Rio experience.
