The Club at Boca Pointe
The Club at Boca Pointe, formerly known as Boca Pointe Country Club, is a non-mandatory country club located within the gated Boca Pointe community in Boca Raton, Florida. In 1981 Markborough Properties, a division of the Hudson Bay Company of Canada, recognized the attraction to Boca Raton and master planned a country club community where residents could enjoy South Florida living. Tracts of land were sold to residential developers who built 28 community villages on over 1,000 acres known as Boca Pointe. In addition to the Club at Boca Pointe, this community is host to the Wharfside Shopping Village and is also home to the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and B’nai Torah Synagogue.

The Club at Boca Pointe features an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course, 29 Har-Tru tennis courts, three restaurants, two lounges, men's and ladies' card rooms, a fully-equipped 40,000 sq. ft. Athletics Center, full service day spa and two Olympic-size pools. The Club also features a full calendar of social activities including lifelong learning programs with professors from local universities, day trips, onsite entertainment, book discussion groups and hobby clubs. It is a Club dedicated to relaxation, friendly games and competition.

In 2009, Boca Pointe Country Club changed its name to The Club at Boca Pointe to reflect a notable change in the mindset of potential members who did not want to belong to a traditional country club. To evolve into an attractive club for the Baby Boomer generation, new programs and memberships were developed to specifically attract retiring Baby Boomers who crave an active lifestyle with an emphasis on wellness, socialization and lifelong learning.

The Club has approximately 1,300 equity members. While most members hold equity memberships in the Club, flexible non-equity memberships are also offered that can be catered to members' individual lifestyles. Whether it's 30 days at a time or 365 days a year, the Club has various memberships offerings to meet the needs of the Boomer generation who may still be working or living up north for part of the year. The Club at Boca Pointe is a separate entity from the Boca Pointe Community Association, with its own Board of Governors, management and employees. Although separate organizations, the management and staff of both work closely together.
