What Makes Boca West Country Club Different?

Boca West stands out for its scale. It covers 1,400 acres, has 55 villages and more than 6,000 residents, and describes itself as one of the largest privately equity-owned clubs in the United States. Every homeowner is a member, and all members share the same four golf courses, racquet center and restaurants.

Member-owned since 1991

Arvida began developing Boca West in 1971. Members have owned the club since 1991. A 15-member Board of Governors, elected by the membership, runs it. To join, a buyer must own a home in Boca West, have a current member's sponsorship, and complete the club's vetting process, which includes an interview.

Many home types inside one gate

The 55 villages hold garden condominiums, villas, attached homes and single-family homes, up to the estate homes in The Island enclave. That range lets buyers enter Boca West at very different price points.

Large, recent investment

The club opened a $50 million Golf & Activities Center in 2017. In 2021 it became the first private club in the U.S. to install InRange radar technology at its driving range. In 2022 it began building a 96,000 sq ft Aquatics Center. Three more restaurants are announced on the club's website.
