Delray Beach Today: a Fast-Moving Timeline of Protests, Property Sales, and City Decisions
By Sarah Jenkins
On the public finance side, the historic Delray Beach Golf Club renovation represents the city's largest single recreational project in decades. The 1923 course, originally designed by golf architect Donald Ross, is undergoing a thorough $30 million overhaul aimed at finishing before the close of 2026.
City leaders faced sharp questions when authorizing the multi-million-dollar bond package, especially with pressing demands on stormwater infrastructure and roadway resurfacing across west Delray neighborhoods. The project scope includes full fairway regrassing, an upgraded drainage basin, an expanded clubhouse, and state-of-the-art practice amenities. City officials defend the expense as essential for municipal revenue generation and cultural preservation. For golfers and municipal historians, restoring the Ross layout safeguards a century of civic recreation. For tax critics, it remains an expensive luxury during an unpredictable economic climate.
