Adding courts can expand capacity. Building a racquet destination changes how Members use the Club. Boca West Country Club took the latter approach with its new Pickleball Club, completed in May 2026 as part of a $20 million racquets facility.
The facility brings together 25 premier pickleball courts, including 12 covered courts, with spaces designed for play, spectators, gatherings and events. The result is an experience built around more than the match itself, giving Members reasons to arrive early, stay afterward and return for programming throughout the calendar.
For Boca West, the project is another example of how the Club continues to evolve through spaces centered on the way Members play, gather and spend time together.
The Facility Was Designed Around More Than Court Time
The scale of the project is immediate, but much of its impact comes from what surrounds the courts. Members can arrive by golf cart, visit the newly built Pickleball Shoppe, store belongings in day lockers, change or shower on site and spend time along wraparound terrace seating overlooking the action.
An event bar with a warming kitchen supports gatherings, while stadium seating makes exhibitions and matches easier to watch. Foot-washing stations add another practical detail for the transition between court time and the rest of the Club day.
Together, those elements turn the expansion into a complete racquet setting rather than a collection of courts. The facility is equipped for open play, league play, exhibitions, Member events and the everyday social time that forms around the game.
That combination gives Boca West a pickleball experience with the scale and polish associated with an established South Florida private club community.
Programming Gives the Facility a Social Life of Its Own
Pickleball may be the headline, but the facility was also planned around the activity that happens beyond a single match. An Event Lawn is designed to accommodate exhibitions and racquet sports events, adding another outdoor gathering space for competition, community and celebration.
The programming range extends from open play and friendly matches to Member-Guest events, Play for P.I.N.K. fundraisers, young adult competitions, exhibitions and competitive tournaments. Boca West Country Club also recently hosted a professional tennis tournament connected to the USTA World Tennis Tour, demonstrating the range of events the racquet sports setting can support.
Matthew Linderman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Boca West Country Club, described the opening in terms of the broader Club culture: “The constant push and desire to create a lifestyle of endless connection and community shows in everything Boca West accomplishes together. The new Pickleball Club is officially open, and it reflects the pride of the Membership, the Board, and the Leadership team.”
That approach is visible in how the setting can shift between casual play, competition, larger events and time spent watching from the sidelines. The courts are the center of the activity, but the social experience around them is part of the design as well.
Pickleball Fits Into a Broader Day at Boca West
The new Pickleball Club is one part of a much larger Boca West Country Club experience. Members can move between racquet sports, golf, fitness, spa, dining, aquatics, events and time with friends without leaving the community.
That breadth helps define the private club experience at Boca West. The Club includes four championship 18-hole golf courses, a 38,000-square-foot spa, salon and wellness destination, a major aquatics complex, extensive dining venues, fitness programming, social events and the expanded racquet sports program.
Investment is continuing on the golf side as well. Course 1 is undergoing a major redesign led by Fry/Straka Global Golf Design, with construction beginning in March 2026 and reopening expected by the end of the year. Planned improvements include a redesigned 18-hole course, updated comfort stations, new elevation changes, a nine-hole short course for social play and skill development and an 18-hole Himalayan putting course behind the Aquatics Center.
The residential community surrounding the Club includes more than 55 distinct neighborhoods, with condominiums, townhomes, villas, patio homes and single-family homes across golf, lake and garden settings. Boca West Realty, the exclusive on-site real estate team, provides information on home types, availability, HOA structures, proximity and neighborhood differences for people evaluating residential opportunities within Boca West.
Beth Slossberg, Sales Executive with Boca West Realty, said the scale of the experience often becomes clearest during a visit: “When buyers tour Boca West, the scale of the lifestyle is what changes the conversation. Seeing the new Pickleball Club, the golf courses, the dining, the wellness spaces, and the neighborhoods firsthand helps them understand that Boca West is something they need to experience in person.”
The Expansion Reflects Boca West’s Ongoing Investment
Boca West Country Club’s new Pickleball Club is one of the clearest recent examples of the community’s continued investment in how Members live, play, gather and spend time together. It adds a new racquet destination while fitting into a broader Club environment already built around golf, wellness, dining, aquatics, events and social connection.
For those exploring Boca West, the facility provides another tangible way to understand the community in person. The courts, spectator areas, gathering spaces and event programming work together as part of the same Member experience rather than as separate amenities.
The project also reinforces a pattern visible across Boca West: new investments are being developed around how Members actually use the Club day. In this case, pickleball becomes both the activity and the setting for what happens before, during and after the match.
