Membership at Boca West Country Club is mandatory, so the club's entry cost and dues are part of the price of every home, from a $220,000 Bridgewood townhouse to a $6 million Akoya residence. Here is the 2025–26 schedule as published by the club and reported by local brokerages, what it includes, what comes back when you sell (nothing), the two other payments due at closing, and the first-year math against what homes actually sold for: 83 closed BeachesMLS sales of $1 million and up in the 24 months to October 17, 2026, at a median of $1,530,000.
Boca West fee schedule, 2025–26
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Joining fee (all classes) | $215,000 from Oct. 1, 2026 | Non-refundable. $150,000 before October 1, 2026; 72 of the 83 sales at $1M+ since October 2024 reported $150,000. |
| Social base dues, annual | $24,455 | Paid by every owner; includes the clubhouse, dining, spa and fitness, aquatics and the social calendar. |
| Golf add-on, annual | $6,388 (family) | Adds all four courses and the racquet program; about $30,843 all-in with the social base, before cart and trail fees. |
| Racquet add-on, annual | $2,798 | Tennis and pickleball without golf. |

| Subdivision / condominium HOA | About $1,462 a month | Median reported in MLS listings; condominium dues include building insurance and maintenance, so villas and single-family homes run lower. |
| Refundable? | No | The joining fee is a non-refundable contribution; treat it as a cost of ownership spread over the years you belong. |

What membership includes
Four 18-hole championship courses by Arnold Palmer, Pete Dye and Jim Fazio, the 400,000-square-foot clubhouse renovated in 2022 with nine dining venues, a full spa and a fitness and wellness center, the aquatics center, the racquet center with 29 Har-Tru tennis courts and 14 pickleball courts, the golf and activities center, and the social calendar of the largest private club in the country. The social base covers everything but golf and racquets; the add-ons buy the courses and the courts.
What else is due at closing: master association and subdivision HOA
Besides the club, two one-time payments come with the house. The community-wide contribution to the Boca West Master Association is $10,000. Subdivision capital contributions reported in listings over the last 24 months: Woodbridge $5,000; Cedarwood $5,000; Wedgewood $20,000; Waters Bend $2,650; Cedar Glen (amount not stated). Plus $10,000 to the Boca West Master Association. These change and some condominium associations charge an application fee instead, so confirm with the association before you offer; the calculator below lets you change the figure for your subdivision.

How the fee affects buying and selling here
Because every buyer pays the membership on top of the price, Boca West homes are priced against the all-in cost of joining, not the list price alone: at $215,000 the fee is about 14 percent of the median $1M+ sale and close to 100 percent of an entry-level condominium's price, which is why the lower tiers of the community trade on value and the upper tiers on the club. Buyers who closed before October 1, 2026 paid $150,000, which pulled sales forward through the summer. For buyers, that means comparing the all-in cost of entry and the all-in yearly cost across clubs before you offer. For sellers, it means a correct asking price sells in days, while an optimistic one sits while the buyer does the same math on the next unit. Ricky prices every home here against the club's current schedule. Ask for a valuation or see homes for sale on the 3D map.
