In 1997, this course underwent a $6.5 million, complete redesign and reconstruction by acclaimed golf course architect Gene Bates. The new course plays a total of 6,253 yards from the back tees and is a par 71. The course is highlighted with a variety of elevation changes and 12 surface acres of water including a signature water feature designed by Hugh Hughes. The course is dedicated to the famed "Silver Scot" Tommy Armour and the great "Slammin' Sammy" Snead. Both served as golf professionals at the Boca Raton Resort & Club from 1926 to 1955, and 1956 to 1969, respectively.  For more information click here.
