Redefining Luxury Living
With the unveiling of the new Lifestyle Center, Linderman explains how Boca West aims to meet the varied needs of its multi-generation membership. “Boca West is very attentive to our Member’s needs and take their request and suggestion into consideration,” Linderman says. To stay ahead, the club consistently monitors luxury hospitality trends, from spa retreats to Michelin-starred dining worldwide. Members are looking for their lives to be enriched and centered on wellness, rather than a transactional fitness lifestyle,” Linderman says. It’s an overall mind, body, and soul experience.
Expanding the Social and Cultural Experience
Beyond wellness, Boca West is making waves in art and culinary. Set to open in January, the highly anticipated Art and Epicurean Studio will offer Members opportunities to engage with visiting artists, chefs, winemakers, and master distillers. “The new studio will feature clay and glass kilns,” Linderman says, “as well as an open-display kitchen for hosting our Tastemakers Series.”
Innovative Golf and Retail Experiences
At Boca West, the member experience is constantly evolving, particularly in the world of golf. Under the guidance of Travis Wehrs, Director of Golf, the club’s pro shop has achieved notable recognition, and its gold offerings continue to expand in exciting ways.
“We are in constant communication with our Members and can identify what they are looking for, whether it be size, fabric, fit, or fashion trends,” Wehrs says.
Creating Connections
With the Lifestyle Center, Boca West is expanding its range of amenities and dining venues, offering an enhanced experience for Members. Leslie Kennedy, Director of Membership & Marketing, is at the forefront of this transition, ensuring that the club’s community continue to thrive. Building a strong sense of community is essential to the Boca West experience. Kennedy emphasizes the importance of initiatives that help Members forge meaningful relationships, such as the “Coffee and Chat” event, organized by the membership department.
