Hunters Run Not Slowing Down (The First Call)
Published:
The 54-hole Hunters Run Country Club in Boynton Beach, Florida, is on a course improvement kick that shows no signs of slowing down.
Fresh off a Kipp Schulties renovation of its East course earlier in 2025, the club announced in late June that its South course will go under knife for a renovation in late January 2026. Hunters Run has enlisted Beau Welling Design to perform the refresh of a Robert Von Hagge/Bruce Devlin 1979 original. The course also witnessed a 2001 re-do from Mark McCumber.
“The renovation will enrich every aspect of our golfers’ experiences while ensuring the course’s playability and aesthetics,” said COO and general manager Larry Savvides. “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strategic play; greater playability and forgiveness for a broader range of golfers; modernized features that correct outdated or overly penal course elements; and maintaining an established challenge for low-handicap players.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.”
The Beau Welling renovation of Hunters Run’s South course is expected to reopen in January 2027.
