Hunters Run launches $18.4 million South Course renovation (Golf Course Industry)

Hunters Run Country Club membership approved an $18.4 million renovation of its 18-hole South Golf Course — one of three courses at the club. Construction is scheduled to begin in late January 2026 and is anticipated to be completed by January 2027.

Beau Welling Design will handle the project. Located in Boynton Beach, Florida, the course was last renovated in 2001.

“The renovation will enrich every aspect of our golfers’ experiences while ensuring the course’s playability and aesthetics,” COO and GM Larry Savvides said. “Establishing a reputation as having 54 of the best private golf holes in Florida is important to our Board and membership.”

The renovation will include:

• Improved course conditioning and consistency
• More flexible and strategically designed teeing areas
• Improved hole designs that encourage strategic play
• Greater playability and forgiveness for a broader range of golfers
• Modernized features that correct outdated or overly penal course elements
• Maintaining an established challenge for low-handicap players

“Our mission statement drives our motives where we strive to be a country club community dedicated to providing exceptional facilities and memorable experiences,” Savvides said. “And that is exactly what we are doing.”

“Take the toll of time and year-round play and combine it with the dramatic rise in golf rounds, and our South Course has served our golf community well over the last 24 years,” club president Richard Kapner said. “But the time has come to breathe new life into our signature course. We’re excited about our second course revitalization and being able to provide our members with another renewed playing experience.”
