Buyers considering a home in St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton need to be aware of an important upcoming membership change.
On June 18, 2026, the St. Andrews Country Club Board of Directors approved an increase in the Club initial membership contribution from $450,000 to $500,000, effective September 1, 2026.
The separate Property Owners Association owner’s contribution will remain $50,000.
That will bring the total initial membership and owner contribution for a new purchaser to:
This represents a $50,000 increase from the current combined contribution of $500,000.
For buyers already considering a move to St. Andrews Country Club, timing may now become an important part of the purchasing decision. The exact amount due can depend on the purchase, closing and membership approval requirements, so all fees and effective dates should be confirmed directly with the Club and Property Owners Association before entering into a contract.
St. Andrews is not simply a neighborhood with a golf course. It is a private residential club community built around service, recreation, wellness, dining and an active social lifestyle.
The community was established in 1982 and includes approximately 730 single-family homes with no separate subdivisions. The homes are surrounded by more than 700 acres of fairways and approximately 70 acres of lakes, creating the open views and estate-home setting for which St. Andrews is known.
Here are some of the most important features and benefits buyers should understand.
Golf is one of the defining features of the St. Andrews Country Club lifestyle.
Members enjoy 36 holes of championship golf, including the Arnold Palmer Signature Design Palmer Course and the Championship Course. The Championship Course was renovated by golf course architect Kip Schulties and features rolling terrain, carefully shaped fairways, strategic bunkering and challenging water hazards.
The Club also promotes strong tee-time availability because of its relatively small private membership.
For members who want to improve their games, the Golf Performance Center includes:
This combination allows members to play, practice and receive professional instruction without leaving the community.
St. Andrews has a well-established racquets program for both recreational and competitive players.
The tennis complex includes 14 clay tennis courts, with 11 lighted for evening play, along with a stadium court featuring permanent seating. Members can participate in clinics, private lessons, mixers, tournaments, exhibitions and inter-club league play.
Pickleball players have access to four pickleball courts, including three lighted courts. The Club offers lessons, complimentary clinics, mixers, exhibitions and league-team opportunities for players at different levels.
The benefit is not just the number of courts. It is the organized programming that helps new residents meet people and quickly become involved in the community.
Dining is an important part of private club living, and St. Andrews offers dining venues with options ranging from casual poolside meals to refined evening dining.
Menus are created around seasonal ingredients, club favorites and international cuisine. The Gallery serves as a centerpiece of the Club’s dining experience, combining fairway views, seasonal menus and an elegant setting.
Members also enjoy an extensive year-round calendar that includes:
St. Andrews reports offering more than 350 golf, tennis and pickleball tournaments and mixers as part of its broader social and recreational calendar.
For new homeowners, this programming provides a built-in opportunity to develop friendships and become part of the community.
The St. Andrews lifestyle extends far beyond golf and racquets.
The Club’s wellness program combines physical fitness, self-care and nutritional education. Fitness options include private training and group classes such as yoga, Zumba, boxing, aerobics
The full-service Spa and Salon provides locker rooms, steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs and a wide range of personal-care and relaxation services.
This is a major benefit for residents who want access to fitness, recreation and personal wellness services within their own community.
St. Andrews’ Recreation and Aquatic Center includes three swimming pools, poolside dining, playground equipment and an air-conditioned game room. Younger family members can enjoy a zero-entry activity pool with water features, while adults have access to fitness and aquatic programming.
This family-friendly approach makes St. Andrews attractive not only to traditional country club buyers, but also to buyers who want amenities their children and grandchildren will enjoy.
Unlike communities divided into numerous villages, St. Andrews consists of one collection of single-family residences.
Real estate in St. Andrews includes custom estate homes with a variety of architectural styles, sizes and levels of renovation. Properties may offer golf course views, lake views, private pools, expansive outdoor living areas and large interior floor plans.
The community’s gated entrance, security systems, home monitoring and on-site Medical Response Team provide an additional level of service and peace of mind for residents.
When evaluating St. Andrews Country Club homes for sale, buyers should consider more than the asking price. Location within the community, lot orientation, golf or lake views, renovation quality, roof age, impact protection and the total cost of club ownership can all affect long-term value.
St. Andrews has been recognized as an Elite Distinguished Club of the World, a Platinum Club of America and one of the Top Ten Healthiest Clubs in America. Its spa has also received recognition from the World Spa Awards.
These distinctions reflect the Club’s emphasis on facilities, service, programming and long-term stewardship.
The upcoming increase does not necessarily mean a buyer should rush into the wrong home.
It does mean that anyone seriously considering St. Andrews should begin evaluating the available inventory, membership requirements and purchasing timeline now rather than waiting until the last minute.
A successful St. Andrews purchase requires understanding both sides of the transaction:
