Overview
In 1967, the Boca Rio Golf Club unveiled a Robert von Hagge-designed golf course set on 200 acres of Florida wilderness completely devoid of housing developments. The challenging yet understated golf course gently twists through dense thickets of native trees, giving an aura of tranquility. The course is known to be challenging, with slick putting surfaces often defended by three or more bunkers requiring precise approaches. The course is highlighted by the par-3 17th, played to a green surrounded by water on three sides. In 2017, Ron Forse led a renovation of greens, tee boxes and bunkers ahead of the club hosting the Gainbridge LPGA event in 2020 and 2022.

“Although the layout is challenging, it is not overbearing for the average golfer. Every hole is different and affords many risk and reward opportunities on the undulating greens."
