There are more than thirty golf courses between the Boca Inlet and Atlantic Avenue, most of them private and most of them tied to the home you buy. That is the thing newcomers miss: in Boca Raton and Delray Beach the question is rarely "which course is best" but "which club comes with which house." This guide lists every course that matters, who designed it, what has been rebuilt (2026 is a big renovation year), how you get on it, and which ones you can play tomorrow with a tee time. Updated October 17, 2026; written from the Polo Club, where Ricky plays.
The private club courses
Every course below belongs to a club, and at twelve of them membership is mandatory for homeowners, so the joining fee is part of the house. Fees and dues for all of them are on the 15-club membership comparison. Platinum Club of America rankings are for the club as a whole, not the course alone.

- Delray Beach Golf Club. The Donald Ross municipal course is closed for renovation with a November 2026 reopening scheduled, under new management by Bobby Jones Links.
- St Andrews, Palmer Course. A renovation with Kipp Schulties Golf Design is listed as a current project; confirm scope and timing with the club.
- Recently finished. Addison Reserve's 27 holes (Rees Jones, January 2025), Boca Woods' Woods Course (Rees Jones, December 2024), St Andrews' Fazio II (rebuilt 2022–23), the Polo Club's Club Course (J. Drew Rogers, 2021–22) and Woodfield (Kipp Schulties, 2020).
How to choose, if golf is the reason you are moving here
Count the holes per home. St Andrews (36 holes, 700 homes), Delaire (27, 326), Addison Reserve (27, 717) and the Polo Club (36, 1,700) are where tee times are easiest; Woodfield (18, 1,300) and Mizner (18, 471) manage times with standard and sports memberships. Decide whether the club is mandatory. Royal Palm, Seagate and Via Mizner let you own without joining; everywhere else the fee is part of the closing. Weigh what else you want. Woodfield for racquets, Addison and Polo for fitness and dining, Royal Palm for the boat, Boca West for having everything. Then run the numbers: the Polo Club fee page and the 15-club comparison have a calculator for the all-in cost at your price. Ricky is a zero-handicap golfer who has lived here thirty years and plays the Polo Club; he will tell you which course and which club fit the way you play before you look at a house. Ask him.
Course facts are from the clubs' and courses' published materials, the City of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County and local golf press as of October 2026; designer attributions marked "as reported" could not be independently confirmed and should be checked with the club. Membership figures are the clubs' 2025–26 schedules as reported and change without notice. General information.
