BOCCE Bocce (pronounced bot-chee) is a captivating sport with roots that trace back to ancient Rome, evolving into a modern game now enjoyed around the world. It’s a simple yet strategic game, played with a set of bocce balls and a smaller ball called the pallino. The objective is to roll the bocce balls closest to the pallino. Each ball of one team that is closest to the pallino scores a point until a ball of the other team becomes the next closest ball to the pallino. (Rules and game tips are displayed at the courts.) Our newly renovated courts offer a fantastic spot for both playing and spectating. Located behind the clubhouse, they’re located next to The Grille and bar, allowing you to easily grab a bite or a drink while enjoying the games. Use club balls and equipment – located near the courts – or use your own balls. It’s the perfect place to unwind, play, and socialize.
