Hunters Run Country Club in Boynton Beach offers something increasingly difficult to find in South Florida private-club living: 54 holes of golf, multiple membership options, a large residential community and, currently, Golf Membership without a waitlist.
Located at 3500 Clubhouse Lane in Boynton Beach, Hunters Run sits on approximately 990 acres just west of Congress Avenue and only minutes from Downtown Delray Beach, Atlantic Avenue and the ocean. The community contains approximately 1,649 residences, including condominiums, villas, townhomes and single-family homes.
For buyers comparing South Palm Beach County country clubs, Hunters Run deserves particular attention because it combines a wide range of real estate price points with a significant club infrastructure and an ambitious capital-improvement program.
Hunters Run has operated as a member-owned community since 1989 and traces its beginnings to 1979, when its three golf courses were completed.
Hunters Run is a mandatory-membership community, meaning purchasing a residence also requires joining the club.
The initiation fee increased to:
$150,000 effective May 2, 2026.
This is a significant change from the previously published $125,000 buy-in and is an important number for buyers to include when calculating the real cost of purchasing a home in Hunters Run.
Hunters Run offers three primary membership categories.
The latest published 2025–2026 dues schedule lists:
Membership | Annual Dues |
|---|---|
Social Membership | $22,720 |
Racquet Sports Membership | $24,320 |
Golf Membership | $25,820 |
Recent August 2026 property listings continue to reference membership dues ranging from approximately $22,720 to $25,820.
Hunters Run's fiscal year runs from November 1 through October 31, so buyers purchasing later in 2026 should verify the upcoming 2026–2027 dues before signing a contract.
The most recently published fee schedule also includes additional charges beyond base dues, including CAM charges and assessments.
For 2025–2026, the published annual CAM and assessment total was approximately:
Individual neighborhood or condominium HOA fees are additional and vary considerably by subdivision. There is also an annual food-and-beverage minimum and certain optional golf-cart, trail, storage and locker fees.
Buyer Tip: Never evaluate a Hunters Run property based solely on the home's asking price. Club dues, initiation fees, assessments, CAM charges and individual association fees should all be calculated before making an offer.
Currently, no.
Hunters Run's Realtor Toolkit specifically states that approved applicants can currently secure Golf Membership without a waitlist.
That is an important distinction in today's South Florida private-club market, where golf availability has become one of the first questions serious buyers should ask.
Golf Membership at Hunters Run includes access to all three golf courses, practice facilities, tennis and pickleball, fitness facilities, dining and social activities. The club states that Golf Members have access to the 54 holes without additional green fees.
Membership policies can change as demand changes, so golf availability should always be reconfirmed before entering into a purchase contract.
Golf is one of Hunters Run's greatest differentiators.
Instead of one or two courses, members have access to:
Together, they provide 54 holes of golf spread across nearly 1,000 acres. The club also offers two driving ranges, putting areas, a short-game complex, professional instruction, clinics and tournament programming.
Having three courses provides something active golfers value enormously: variety.
Rather than playing essentially the same routing every week, members can rotate between completely different golf experiences.
One of the more important stories at Hunters Run right now isn't simply what exists today. It is what the club is building for tomorrow.
The East Course recently underwent an approximately $10 million renovation by Kipp Schulties Golf Design and has reopened for play.
The next major golf project is the South Course renovation, scheduled to begin in 2026 with Beau Welling Design.
The plans include improvements to tees, strategy, playability and overall course presentation. Hunters Run's long-term capital program calls for continuing modernization of its golf facilities rather than simply maintaining what was built decades ago.
For buyers, these investments matter.
Modernized golf courses and club facilities can influence membership demand, residential desirability and ultimately property values throughout a private-club community.
Golf isn't the only major investment underway.
Hunters Run is developing a new Racquet Sports Complex as part of a reported approximately $21 million investment in the facility.
The planned complex will include expanded pickleball facilities, covered stadium courts, bocce, a retail shop, locker rooms, outdoor social areas and a sports bar and restaurant.
Hunters Run currently promotes 18 Har-Tru tennis courts and 12 pickleball courts, with the expanded complex targeted for 2028.
This is another example of what we are seeing throughout Palm Beach County country clubs: pickleball, fitness, dining and wellness are becoming almost as important to many buyers as golf.
Hunters Run is a large, socially active community, and that scale creates an extensive dining and activities program.
The club lists seven restaurant and dining venues, including:
There are also outdoor dining and gathering spaces around the Atrium and pool area.
The social calendar includes entertainment, themed dinners, lectures, card games, holiday events, trivia, concerts and numerous clubs and interest groups.
Hunters Run's size is part of the experience. There are enough members to support a very active calendar and make it relatively easy to find golf games, racquet partners, card games and social groups.
The approximately 145,000-square-foot clubhouse is the center of the community.
Amenities include:
The wellness component has become increasingly important as country clubs evolve from places centered primarily around golf into full lifestyle communities.
Hunters Run offers one of the broader selections of housing styles among Palm Beach County mandatory-membership communities.
Buyers can find:
The club itself notes that condominium residences begin at approximately 1,300 square feet.
The range of housing creates interesting opportunities.
Some Hunters Run residences can have relatively low asking prices compared with many newer Boca Raton and Delray Beach country clubs. But buyers need to understand why.
A property offered for $100,000, $200,000 or $300,000 can look remarkably inexpensive by South Florida standards.
However, the buyer must also consider:
Home Price + $150,000 Initiation Fee + Annual Club Dues + CAM/Assessments + Neighborhood HOA + Property Taxes + Insurance
That total cost of ownership is the number that matters.
This is particularly important in older country club communities where two similarly priced residences may have very different association fees, renovation requirements or future assessments.
Hunters Run Country Club is located at:
3500 Clubhouse Lane
Boynton Beach, FL 33436
Its location is one of its strongest assets.
Although the address is Boynton Beach, Hunters Run sits close to Delray Beach and promotes itself as the closest private country club with three golf courses to Downtown Delray Beach and the ocean.
That gives residents relatively convenient access to:
For someone who wants the club lifestyle but still wants easy access to Delray Beach, Hunters Run can be an attractive combination.
Every country club serves a slightly different buyer.
Hunters Run's strongest differentiators include:
Three courses give serious golfers significantly more variety than communities built around a single 18-hole course.
This is particularly meaningful when comparing Hunters Run with clubs where a buyer may purchase a residence but wait months or even years for full golf privileges.
Not every resident has to purchase full golf privileges. Social and Racquet Sports memberships provide alternatives for buyers whose priorities are fitness, dining, pickleball, tennis and social life.
Hunters Run provides housing choices from condominiums to estate homes rather than focusing primarily on multimillion-dollar single-family properties.
The East Course renovation, South Course project and new Racquet Sports Complex demonstrate that Hunters Run is investing in its future rather than relying solely on its existing facilities.
Hunters Run is one of the more interesting value propositions in the South Palm Beach County private-club market.
The biggest mistake a buyer can make is looking at a Hunters Run listing online and judging it solely by the asking price.
You aren't simply buying a condo, villa or house. You are buying into a country club lifestyle.
That lifestyle currently includes three golf courses, no golf membership waitlist for approved buyers, a major racquet facility in development, extensive dining, fitness and social programming, and a location close to Downtown Delray Beach.
The other side of the equation is cost.
The $150,000 initiation fee, annual membership dues, club assessments and neighborhood association expenses all need to make sense for how you intend to use the club.
For an active golfer who plans to take advantage of 54 holes, the equation can look very different than it does for someone who rarely plays.
That is why comparing private clubs should never start and end with the price of the home.
Lifestyle drives demand. Demand drives value.

Buying in a private country club is different from buying in a traditional neighborhood.
Membership availability, initiation fees, annual dues, assessments, HOA expenses, golf access and future capital projects can all affect both the value of the property and whether the club is right for you.
