In total Boca Grove has 7 dining venues including a private dining room that can be reserved for an elegant gourmet experience with family and friends. The members' gathering spot is Chippers Sports Bar with 12 large screen televisions with a full-service bar and cafe menu of delectable favorites.


"Boca Grove has experienced two tremendous years with record home sales, completion of a new wellness center and the merger of our Club and POA," says POA Board President Marc Gillman. "We are stronger than we have been in over a decade and wanted to give ourselves the best chance to remain on top regardless of what the future holds. We feel Troon Prive' offers a strong support system through best practices, leveraged buying power, and, most importantly, a culture that cares about the members as well as our personnel. It is the right choice at the right time."


Boca Grove recently opened a Sports & Wellness Center named the Curve, which has everything a member could want or need to get in shape. Completed in 2021, the 14,000+ square-foot center is equipped with Precor, TRX, treadmills, elliptical, free weights, resistance and on-site physical therapy.
