The community in brief

The Polo Club at a glance.

The Polo Club of Boca Raton is a private, member-owned, fully gated country club community on about 1,100 acres at 5400 Champion Boulevard, in Boca Raton's ZIP 33496, roughly 7 miles from the ocean. About 1,700 residences across 24 neighborhoods range from condos to estate homes, and the club runs two championship 18-hole golf courses, a 22-court tennis and pickleball complex, a 35,000-square-foot spa, and a roughly 145,000-square-foot clubhouse. This listing originally arrived as a Delray brief entry, but public research verifies it as a Boca Raton community, so it is built and classified here as Boca Raton.

Architecture & character

24 neighborhoods around a big-club campus

Residences span 24 neighborhoods, from patio homes and condos to large golf-front estates, built over decades around a mature, heavily landscaped campus. The member-owned club runs the social and athletic life: two courses, a nationally recognized racquets program, resort pools, and dining across multiple venues. The community is all-ages, with a youth activities center and children's facilities that make it a genuine family club, not a retirement address.

Market positioning & pricing

Condos from the $500,000s, estates into the millions

Active listings and closed sales, 2025 to October 2026

Condos have listed from roughly $500,000 to $800,000, with a reported median sale around $1.86 million and single-family homes commonly near $2 million; estate homes reach about $4.5 million, with recent samples including a $7.5 million estate listing in the community's upper tier. Because membership is mandatory, the full carrying cost includes initiation, annual dues, HOA fees, and assessments on top of price. These are dated figures, not guarantees; confirm the current market with Kelby.

Access & commute

Glades and Yamato to I-95, Turnpike minutes west

Glades Road and Yamato Road both cross I-95 with full interchanges; the Florida Turnpike sits in the same west-central corridor. Congress Avenue links to West Boca's town centers, and downtown Boca, Mizner Park, and the beach are about 20 to 25 minutes east in normal traffic. Both Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airports are practical options.

HOA, club & restrictions

Mandatory membership with four tiers

Membership is mandatory for residents, offered in four tiers: Social Only, Social with Tennis and Pickleball, Social with Golf, and Full. Recent broker figures put the capital contribution at roughly $200,000 to $250,000, with annual dues from about $27,700 social to $42,800 plus for full golf, plus HOA fees, capital assessments, and a trail fee. Figures change; confirm the current schedule with the club and Kelby.

Flood zone & insurance

Inland campus, verify per parcel

The Polo Club sits inland, away from coastal high-hazard zones; the community's lakes and golf-front lots carry the most flood exposure. Flood insurance follows each property's FEMA-mapped zone; verify the exact parcel with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and an insurer before offering.

Completed

The Polo Club's neighborhoods are built out; new construction here means estate rebuilds and renovations, which surface regularly. Current opportunities are confirmed directly with Kelby.

Investment & rental considerations

Dues shape the carry, family demand broadens the pool

Mandatory membership makes the full fee schedule part of any rental or resale underwriting, while the all-ages family profile keeps demand broad across condos and estates. Rental rules and approval processes were not verified in this research; confirm them with the association and club before underwriting.
