Why Is This Florida Destination Attracting So Many New York Golfers?

Posted on: August 23, 2024 | Read Time: 6 minutes

For decades, New Yorkers have had a love affair with Florida. Easy airline access is part of the draw, with an abundance of direct flights to The Palm Beaches. While there are many reasons to visit, one Boca Raton destination has become especially popular among avid golfers and weekend jet setters. Boca West, a private club community with 72 holes of golf, reigns as the top choice for avid golfers. Excellent training facilities are highlighted by Mr. D’s, where tasty dining and bar service are married with high-tech hitting bays for improving performance or family fun.

While golf is best-in-class, the array of social activities will delight every member of the family. Over 600 events are held annually, hosted throughout three expansive clubhouses that span more than 450,000 sq. ft. Members of Boca West Country Club appreciate the constant evolution of amenities and the drive to excellence demonstrated throughout the community. It’s been said, “It’s the little things that make a big difference,” and at Boca West, that’s never been truer. Let’s take a closer look at what makes it such a hotspot for New Yorkers.

Effortless Travel Between New York and Florida

Recognizing the importance of convenient travel, Boca West Country Club arranged for its Members to have access to private jet services. The Club has partnered with XO, a premier aviation network, to offer daily shared flights from New York to Boca Raton, Palm Beach International, and Fort Lauderdale International airports. Private charters are also available for any global destination. This new amenity, accompanied by Boca West’s renowned lock-and-leave lifestyle, allows Members to fly with ease and peace of mind.

Boca Raton Golf Course

72 Holes of Signature Golf

With not one, but four championship golf courses, there’s more for golfers to love at Boca West. Arnold Palmer, Jim Fazio, and Pete Dye crafted each hole with a unique layout, catering to golfers of all skill levels. Palmer I presents challenges at every turn, featuring paspalum fairways, Bermuda rough, and TifEagle greens. Fazio II blends beauty with playability, with waterfalls and lush landscaping surrounding a demanding eagle green course. Palmer III tests golfers with a mix of short and long shots, requiring precision and skill. Finally, Dye IV, coined a ‘thinker’s course,’ offers strategic shot options, with rolling fairways winding through the natural Florida landscape.

Tech-Forward Training for Golfers

While New York may be known as a fashion trendsetter, Boca West Country Club sets the standard in golf innovation. Mr. D’s 19th Hole and Drive Suites was the first Topgolf-style experience at a U.S. country club. The facility features seven driving range suites and 19 bays, each equipped with advanced golf radar tracking technology. A full team of golf professionals is also available to help refine techniques. The integration of technologies like K-Motion, BodiTrak, and Blast Motion into the teaching programs has significantly advanced golfers’ progress and removed the guesswork from performance improvement.
