Check out my favorite places to hit the links around Boca.
1221 N Ocean Blvd, Boca Raton, Florida 33432
Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean in Boca Raton is the charming seaside 9-hole Red Reef Executive Golf Course. This is a public golf course that opened in 1957 - no way would this ever be possible with the value of land today! Designed by Joe Palloka, Red Reef is a par-3 course measuring 1357 yards from the longest tees. The greens are bent grass, the pace is relaxed and the ocean breezes are unforgettable!
Located just south of Boca Raton in Deerfield Beach is Deer Creek Golf Club; designed by legendary golf course architect Arthur Hills to remain challenging to local golfers who visit regularly, and to be as enjoyable for visitors who travel from all over the world to play golf in South Florida. No membership is required to enjoy the TifEagle golf course or any of the club amenities. My favorite aspect of Deer Creek is taking a golf lesson with teaching pro (and YouTube sensation!), Jess Frank.
