Boca Grove Golf Course
Boca Grove’s golf course is a regulation-style 18-hole championship layout originally designed by Karl Litten in 1982 and renovated by Jim Fazio in 2011. The course features Bermuda grass greens and well-maintained fairways in strong playing condition. It stretches to 6,808 yards from the back tees with a par of 72. The course rating is 73.5 and slope 151 from the championship tees. There are numerous bunkers and water holes, and a few signature risk-reward par-5s define its character.
One of the signature holes is the par-5 seventh, which challenges players with water carry and strategic placement. Another memorable hole is Hole 4, a demanding par-4 with bunkers and contouring that penalize errant drives. The front nine in total carries 3,469 yards from the back tees. The back nine totals 3,339 yards from the same tees. The layout blends strategic bunkering, water hazards, and tree framing to reward well-planned tee shots.
Boca Grove Membership Cost and Initiation Fees
The initiation fee for Boca Grove’s equity golf membership is about $150,000. Annual golf dues are approximately $25,172 per year. There are additional assessments like wellness-center charges, POA assessments, and food & beverage minimums. Combined fees and assessments can push total member costs above $40,000 annually. The club operates as a mandatory membership community for homeowners.
Older published figures show lower tiers: past entrance was once $75,000 and golf dues $18,349. Social equity (non-golf) dues were about $10,780 in that era. Members also paid clubhouse renovation and capital assessments. A food & beverage minimum of $2,500 was typical. Those legacy numbers reflect historical structure, not current rates.
