The New Wing at Mirasol Is a Milestone, Not the Finish Line

Ask anyone who has driven past the Grand Clubhouse this year whether the construction is almost done, and you will get a version of "I think so, by the end of 2026." That answer is only half right. A new 41,000 square foot building is on track to open, and that is real progress. But the club's own master plan schedule shows two more major projects still ahead, both bigger than anything finishing this year, and neither one lands until 2028 or 2029.

Knowing which phase you are actually in changes how you plan the next three golf seasons here, not just the next few months.

What actually finishes this year

The Country Club at Mirasol broke ground in late April 2025 on a two-story, 41,000 square foot multipurpose building sited beside the Grand Clubhouse. Board President Bruce Dubinsky and Palm Beach Gardens Mayor Marcie Tinsley both attended the ceremonial groundbreaking, and the building carries a 2026 completion target. Once it opens, it becomes the new front door to Mirasol's golf operation: a relocated pro shop, cart barn and bag storage on the ground floor, a breezeway connecting to the short game area and both 18th holes, and a casual restaurant designed for indoor and outdoor seating with views across the closing holes of both the Sunrise and Sunset courses.

That restaurant matters more than it sounds. Right now, a golfer finishing a round has two realistic options: the Grille Room inside the Grand Clubhouse, or the poolside café Revive at The Esplanade. Neither one sits directly on the 18th green of either course. The new building closes that gap, adding a third dining option positioned exactly where a foursome would want it after a Sunday morning round, plus a grab-and-go outlet for members who want a quick bite between the range and the first tee rather than a sit-down meal.

The pickleball number that quietly changed

Alongside the building, an indoor pickleball facility is also part of this year's phase, and its size has shifted slightly as the project moved from announcement to permitting. When Mirasol first unveiled the $82 million master plan in July 2024, the indoor facility was described as 17,000 square feet. By the time the club broke ground in mid 2025, coverage of the groundbreaking put the same facility at 18,000 square feet. That is a small change, but it is the kind of detail that only shows up if you are tracking a project across its full timeline rather than reading a single press release.

The facility itself will house seven weather-proof regulation courts, a lounge for players between matches, and retail space. Combined with the outdoor courts Mirasol expanded from four to six ahead of the 2024 winter season, the club will have thirteen total courts once the indoor facility opens, a scale the club has described as one of the first of its kind among private residential communities in South Florida.

The part of the plan that isn't finishing anytime soon

Here is where the "almost done" assumption breaks down. The master plan's biggest undertakings, restoring both 18 hole courses, are not part of this year's completion at all. They are scheduled years apart, on purpose.

Both courses hosted the PGA Tour's Honda Classic from 2003 through 2006, and both are now old enough that a full restoration, rather than routine maintenance, is the next step. The club chose to stagger that work by a full year instead of closing both courses in the same season. That sequencing is the practical detail worth knowing now, well before either project starts. A member who plays 36 holes a week and assumes 2026 marks the end of disruption is planning around the wrong year. The bigger interruption to tee times is still two and three years out, and it will only affect one course at a time.

What this means for the next three seasons

For this year and next, the disruption is concentrated around the Grand Clubhouse and the pickleball courts, areas most members already route around during construction. Once the multipurpose building opens, expect the practical center of a post-round lunch to shift toward that new restaurant, particularly for anyone finishing on the 18th of either course who previously had to walk or cart back to the Grille Room.

The bigger planning window opens in 2028. When the Sunset course closes for its renovation, Sunrise remains playable, and the reverse holds true in 2029. Members who typically favor one course over the other, or who host guest rounds tied to a specific layout, will want that two-year window on their calendar well before it arrives. Tee sheets during a single-course renovation year tend to compress fast once word gets around a membership this size.

None of this changes what makes Mirasol Mirasol: 36 holes across two Fazio and Hills designs, a clubhouse built around golf as the daily rhythm, and a membership large enough that phased construction is the only realistic way to execute an $82 million plan without shutting the whole property down at once. It does mean the fence coming down this year is a checkpoint, not a curtain call.

If you're weighing what any of this means for a specific villa or estate inside Mirasol, whether it's proximity to the new building, a view of one course over the other, or timing a sale or purchase around the 2028 and 2029 course work, Faxon & Stanko can walk through it with you.
