Boca Country Club Ranked Top Of Its Kind In Florida
Boca West Country Club has continually held a top ranking within Florida. Now, the rest of America knows it.
The 36-year-old Boca West was recently listed as 2006's number one residential country club in the United States by Club Leaders Forum (CLF), a national publication that ranks leading private clubs in different categories every three years.
A new category for CLF, "residential" indicates communities that include golf facilities. 10 clubs were named altogether under this heading.
In addition, Boca West was ranked as the top country club in Florida-the ninth year it has achieved such a feat-and number seven among the 40 best clubs across the nation.
Jay DiPietro, president and general manager of Boca West, expressed his happiness with the CLF results.
"This is an extraordinary achievement for the club and everyone involved with it," DiPietro said. "We're all very proud."
Beginning in 1997, CLF has built its rankings through surveying over 6,000 club managers and presidents about what makes each facility special.
CLF's questions cover the areas of tradition and heritage, quality of membership, amenities, governance, and professional management and staff.
According to CLF officials, Boca West is part of the top three percent of all private country clubs in terms of excellence.
"What is even more remarkable is the fact that Boca West is also at the apex of all clubs in size, revenues and complexity," wrote John Sibbald, publisher of CLF, in a letter he sent to Boca West that announced the current rankings.
Developed in 1971 by Arvida Corporation, the 1,400-acre Boca West features four championship courses, over 30 tennis courts, a sport pavilion and a fitness center among its amenities.
Approximately 900 people are employed by Boca West at the height of the season.
"I believe we have the finest staff of any club in the country," DiPietro said. "We're also known as one of the top places of employment in the area."
The club has undergone numerous changes over the years, including a $40 million expansion and renovation program completed in 1997 that involved more than 210,000 square feet of additions and improvements.
Boca West is currently embarking upon another $36 million expansion that will cover the reconstruction of two golf courses, updating both the sports pavilion and fitness center, and building a new 62,000-square-foot spa.
"We obviously have accomplished a lot and will continue to do so," DiPietro said. "Being honored again by CLF proves it."
