Boca West Country Club Offers Pro-Worthy Tennis Center
Top-shelf facility wows with WTA rising star, USPTA pros and 31 Hydro-Courts
Boca West Country Club, located in Boca Raton, Fla., is renowned for its first-rate recreational activities. The Country Club's reputation in golf is equaled by its $1.8 million Tennis Center. Fully dedicated to the racquet sport, there is a lighted stadium court and seating for more than 300, plus access for members to U.S. Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) staff for tennis clinics and private lessons for instructions, drills, techniques and strategies.
The number one residential country club in the United States is also the proud recipient of the 2013 USTA Outstanding Tennis Facility Award. Tennis enthusiasts looking for superb amenities in a beautiful private country club setting have the opportunity to see many WTA and ATP touring pros and other world-class players who frequent the courts.
Adding cachet to the Club’s brand is its recent 2015 partnership with WTA rising star Christina McHale, who, according to USA Today, has “long been considered a could-be next star for the U.S. on the women's tour.” Known for competing hard and pushing players such as Maria Sharapova and Jelena Jankovic, McHale is currently ranked 61st in the world. She was ranked 26th in the world as a 19-year-old heading into the 2012 London Olympics.
Boca West’s Tennis Center courts carry a feature-worthy status of their own. There are 31 Hydro-courts, three are lit for night play, along with one hard court with four Pickleball courts.
“Our Tennis Center courts have been designed to improve endurance and to provide members with the opportunity to develop an all-court game,” said Jay DiPietro, CCM, president/CEO/general manager of Boca West Country Club.
The Tennis Center is a sought-after draw and destination, hosting championship tournaments and exhibitions, including the USTA French Open Wild Card Tournament, held from 2006-2010. First-rate former and current players are the norm at such events, and have included Chris Evert, Jennifer Capriati, Martina Navratilova and the Bryan Brothers, among others. Competition isn’t limited only to the pros. Boca West offers eight men’s leagues and five women’s leagues that challenge other clubs in Palm Beach County.
An award-winning community that was originally developed by Arvida Corporation in 1971, it is home to 6,000 residents (3,380 families) in magnificent residences, including townhomes, patio homes, villas, garden apartments and single-family homes. Boca West is the number one private residential country club in the country and number one private club, of all types, in Florida statewide. Boca West is a Platinum Club of America, Five-Star Private Club since 1997, and is proudly recognized as a Distinguished Emerald Club by Board Room Magazine since 2013.
