History

Designed with the inspiration of famed architect Addison Mizner, construction on Addison Reserve® Country Club commenced in 1995. The club facilities have undergone many updates throughout the years, the most recent of which was the construction of the Lifestyle Complex in 2019, and a total "refresh" for the Clubhouse that opened to the members in October 2021.

The decade of the 1990s saw Palm Beach County’s population grow in record numbers and with it came the need for upscale communities to accommodate the expectations of these new residents, many of whom came from the north looking for a Florida paradise. With this in mind, two long established companies with impeccable credentials, Taylor Woodrow and Kenco, came together to develop what was once a field in Delray Beach into one of the most prestigious residential country club communities in all of South Florida. Today, Addison Reserve® offers its members a lifestyle that features first-class amenities that are enjoyed against a background of 653 meticulously landscaped acres.

   
Construction began in 1995 on the three nine-hole golf courses, designed by one of the game’s premier architects, Arthur Hills. The layouts were planned to satisfy all handicaps, presenting a challenge while being fair and forgiving, with wide fairways and multiple tees. No matter where you look on the three courses – named Redemption, Salvation, and Trepidation – you will find gentle slopes, subtle contours, sparkling lakes, and lush native vegetation. The towering palms, stately oaks, flowering foliage, and subtropical grasses capture the essence of what everyone loves about Florida. The three courses have been refreshed incorporating a state-of-the-art irrigation system, Celebration grass, quarried rock walls, fountains and a lighted waterfall feature.

The houses and Clubhouse in the community were designed as homage to visionary architect Addison Mizner who, in the early 1920s, envisioned Palm Beach as the perfect place for the revival of Mediterranean architecture. His signature features included barrel-tiled roofs, airy loggias, turret towers, and the natural integration of indoor-outdoor living. The architects and builders who worked on Addison Reserve® superbly evoked the romance of Old Palm Beach as expressed through the genius of Addison Mizner, bringing an elegance that was both practical and appealing.
“What drew me to Addison Reserve® was the incredibly striking landscaping and environment that greets you when you come through the gate. It is like a park, and there is not another Club like it anywhere.” Murray Cohen, Addison Reserve® Member since 2000.

 The backdrop of the Clubhouse lobby is a wall to wall waterfall that creates a feeling of serenity through the dulcet tones and soft blue back lighting. Contemporary aesthetics provide functional, yet inviting seating throughout.  The stYr lounge and Terrace is a hotspot on property and is home to tapas and sushi menus, tropical beverages and live entertainment on weekends. Taste, the seafood and chophouse restaurant, is open for lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends. Private dining areas are available for member events. The Vault, our premiere dining venue, is available for member or chef hosted intimate dinners.

The Golf Pro Shop and Ladies' and Men's Card Rooms and Locker facilities are located on the lower level of the Clubhouse.
