What the Polo Club is

The club describes itself as a private community on about 1,100 acres, founded in 1986 on former farmland. Its address is 5400 Champion Boulevard in ZIP code 33496. Amenities it lists include two championship golf courses, a tennis and pickleball complex, the AURA Wellness Center (spa, fitness and aquatics) and several dining rooms.

A local agent team that specializes in the community puts the count at more than 1,700 homes across 24 neighborhoods, with gated entries and 24-hour security patrols. Every home also belongs to a neighborhood HOA with its own dues.

Zillow doesn't publish a separate typical value for the Polo Club. For context, Zillow's typical home value for ZIP 33496, which includes the club's address, was $1,053,347 in August 2026, up 13.2% on the year. That ZIP covers many other communities, so don't read it as a Polo Club price.

How the four membership levels work

The club lists four membership types:

  • Social: dining, fitness, spa, pool and social events. The club calls this the minimum membership requirement.
  • Social with Racquets: adds tennis and pickleball. The club describes a 10-year commitment for as long as you own a home in the Polo Club, with a conversion option after the term.
  • Social with Golf: adds golf, with the same 10-year commitment.
  • Social Full: golf, racquets and all social benefits.

The club doesn't publish prices online and directs buyers to its membership office. Before you make an offer, ask for the current initiation or capital contribution, annual dues for each level, cart fees, and any assessments. Get them in writing, because club fees in Boca Raton are usually reset each season.
