Four Championship Courses
Palmer I - Built and opened in 1997, this Arnold Palmer design is a true championship golf course and is going under a major course renovation in March 2026.
Renovation: The Club has hired Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design and will be undergoing a major golf course renovation in March 2026. Redesigning Course I presents a great opportunity for Boca West to update one of its key golf courses, while creating new golf experiences at the same time. Fry/Straka are going to create unique landforms unlike anything that really exists in the area, and that will really transform the way Boca West members think of Course I. At the same time, the reworked routing allows us to build a Short Course and a Putting Course, while engaging the Club members with different golf options than currently exist at the Club today.
Fazio II - This Jim Fazio gem was opened in 2005 and was re-grassed in the summer of 2025 with Bimini Bermuda.
Palmer III - Our second Arnold Palmer design opened in 1999 and requires golfers to use every club in their bag.
Dye IV - Designed in 2006 by one of the legends of course architects, this Pete Dye design is a thinker’s course and is getting re-grassed this summer with Bimini Bermuda.
