Boca Raton Resort & Club. The Resort Course at the Boca Raton Resort & Club is dedicated to both of the resort's former golf pros, Tommy Armour and Sam Snead. Legendary Sam Snead was the head pro in the 1960s and Tommy Armour from the mid-1920s to the mid-1950s. The par-71 course is popular due to its many elevation changes and its Hugh Hughes–designed water feature. Nowadays there's also a second course located off-site, the Country Club Course, with a Dave Pelz Scoring Game School that is open to the public. Resort Course play is just for guests and members. 501 E. Camino Real, Boca Raton, Florida, 33432. 561/447–3078; www.bocaresort.com. Resort Course: 18 holes for $225, 9 holes for $164; Country Club Course: 18 holes for $97, 9 holes for $65.

Red Reef Park Executive Golf Course. This executive golf course offers 9 holes with varying views of the Intracoastal and the Atlantic Ocean. The Joe Palloka and Charles Ankrom–designed course dates back to 1957, and millions of dollars have gone into renovations since then. The scenic holes are between 54 and 227 yards each—great for a quick round. Carts are available, but the short course begs to be walked. Park in the lot across the street from the main beach entrance, and put the greens fees receipt on the dash; that covers parking. 1221 N. Ocean Blvd., Boca Raton, Florida, 33432. 561/391–5014; www.mybocaparks.org/Red-Reef-Executive-Golf-Course. $17 to walk; $27 to ride.
