Torrential rains on Sunday are still having an effect on Boca Raton despite two days of sunshine. The city’s Recreation Department announced Tuesday that the Alan C. Alford Red Reef Family Golf Course, located along North Ocean Boulevard (A1A) was shut down due to lingering flooding.
The roadway itself is mostly clear, however floodwaters still occupy much of the east shoulder area. The area outside of the travel lanes includes a significant depression, leading some vehicles to occasionally become stuck or flooded if they leave the lanes or attempt to ride in the shoulder. The public works department has posted signs indicating the area may be flooded in some areas.
