Boca West is a private country club community in Boca Raton, FL and is regarded by many leading magazines and industry experts as the Nations #1 Private Residential Country Club. Boca West encompasses over 1,400 acres of lush tropical landscaping and offers magnificent residences, including townhomes, patio homes, villas, garden apartments and single-family homes. Over 6,000 residents, including almost 3,500 families in 55 communities call Boca West home.Golf and tennis are at the top of the list when it comes to things to do at Boca West. Architects Pete Dye, Arnold Palmer and Jim Fazio have used their architectural talents to create four distinctly different golf courses. All feature strategically placed bunkers and rolling fairways that wind their way through the natural Florida landscape. The putting greens will test your touch and can all be enjoyed by golfers of all levels and abilities. Each course has several sets of tees, so you can always choose the yardage that best fits your game.The 6th hole on Palmer I is one most players wont soon forget; especially the ladies; this is their #1 handicapped hole. The fairway is a thin strip of land flanked by lakes on either side and the occasional sand trap, just to make things interesting. From the Blue tees, the hole plays 494 yards and because of the design, getting on in two is a daunting task. It will take three well played, well struck shots to reach the green in regulation. If possible, play your layup shot to the right side of the fairway. With a left pin placement, odds are that you will have to carry the water on your approach shot. A rear pin placement will bring the back two bunkers into play and make for a tough up and down. Several subtle undulations in the green can leave you shaking your head. A fun hole nonetheless!Fazio II (Jim, not Tom) seems to be the members favorite course. It opened in 2005 and has since been regrassed with Paspalum fairways and roughs leading to well-undulated Tif Eagle greens. What makes this course a favorite are the waterfalls that greet players on four separate holes. The par 3, 12th hole plays 160 yards from the Blue tees and requires a straight, well struck tee shot in order to avoid the four bunkers that surround the green. Hit a bad shot on this hole and just gaze over at the waterfall. It seems to take all of your troubles away. Fazio II is as beautiful as it is fun to play.Palmer III is not without its share of holes that stay in your memory bank for a while; some are fond, some not so much! Number 17 is ranked the toughest for men on the inward nine. From the Blue tees, its a 376 yard dogleg left. Although the length may say driver to most guys off the tee, 3-wood may be a better choice if you want to hit the same ball a second time. If you try and fly the trees to cut the dogleg, you run a strong chance of finding either a nasty little pot bunker or more likely the coquina shelled waste bunkers and trees. If you can somehow navigate that small area between that fairway bunker and the palm trees on the left, youll have a mid to long iron into a green with an open front, bunkers on either side and in back. The green itself slopes gently back to front and is a lot longer than it is wide. Par is a great score here.Dye IV is textbook Pete Dye. Lots of pot bunkers scattered throughout the layout and some Dye-abolical green complexes. If I were naming holes, the par 3, 12th would be called Sand Island. Much like its more famous sister hole about 300 mile up I-95, it has a nasty little pot bunker in front of the green. From the Blue tees, its 160 yards to the island green, surrounded with sand instead of water. You may not lose your ball if you miss the green, but unless youve got a good sand game, par or better could be as tough. The Boca West golf experience also boasts some impressive practice facilities. Theres a full-length driving range with 50 tee boxes, a four-acre short game area, and an extensive practice putting green.
