My name is Jason Hayes. I'm the Club Manager
of the Boca Raton Golf and Racquet Club. My background is in private country clubs as
well as municipal country clubs. I've managed member-owned clubs, privately owned clubs. I've
transitioned clubs from bankruptcy into fully private high-end, so I have a vast background in
different operations. The Boca Raton Country Club was donated to the City by the Boca Raton Resort;
a very generous donation that the City is going to take over operation on October 1st so we're
looking forward to getting in here and getting things operating.
The property has an 18-hole
championship golf course, 12 hard court tennis courts, the downstairs of the clubhouse is where
the golf shop is located, the men's and ladies locker rooms. It also has a restaurant and bar.
And then the upper level of the clubhouse is the rooms and full kitchen for catering and events.
The staff currently has been working on weed control on the golf course. Our staff has
been coming over and spraying herbicides. We have construction crews that are working on
the golf course maintenance buildings, redoing the roofs and the stucco, and painting and then
also we are going to start a project of re-roofing the cart barn.
So I'm excited to be a part of
the team with the City. We've got a lot of great people working on this project. Our goal is to
have this be a first-class golf facility. It will take a couple of years to get it to that level but
we're working hard as a team to make that happen..
