Reflection Bay & the former golf course
Understanding the redevelopment beside Century Village—and the questions that matter to residents.
From a former golf course to a new neighboring community.
Reflection Bay is the redevelopment associated with the former golf course beside Century Village West Palm Beach. For residents who remember open fairways—or purchased a home overlooking the former course—the change is both a land-use story and an everyday neighborhood concern.
UCO’s published responses identify the former course as a townhome development by Kolter. Its November 2025 response directs residents seeking the layout to the developer’s Reflection Bay page.
Check the date before relying on a plan. Earlier proposals, news reports, and anticipated completion dates may describe a different stage of the project.
What the developer currently describes
As reviewed on October 13, 2026, Brookfield Kolter Land Partners’ project page describes 621 townhome units by D.R. Horton, with a clubhouse, pool, playground, and two central lakes. It describes the project as under development and anticipates first home delivery in late 2026.
That is the developer’s published expectation, not confirmation that homes are occupied or that all construction is complete. The page also states that its information and illustrative material may change.
The listed amenities are described for Reflection Bay residents. Do not assume they provide new recreation access for Century Village residents.
Why Century Village residents are paying attention
The practical questions extend beyond the number of homes. The following are issues residents can monitor and ask about; they are not findings that a particular harm has occurred.
- Views and boundaries: where buildings, landscaping, lakes, fencing, and buffers sit relative to nearby associations.
- Construction activity: noise, dust, work schedules, delivery routes, and temporary access changes.
- Traffic and pedestrian safety: entrances, nearby intersections, construction vehicles, and safe movement around affected areas.
- Drainage: how approved stormwater improvements connect with nearby roads and existing systems.
- Maintenance responsibilities: who maintains shared or adjoining infrastructure under the applicable approvals and agreements.
Ask for the current approved plan or relevant agreement when a question depends on an exact boundary, obligation, or design. A marketing site plan is useful context but does not establish those details.
Drainage is a real coordination issue
A late-September 2026 UCO community manager report discusses flooded areas and describes connecting stormwater catch basins and underground pipes to Reflection Bay’s stormwater system as the intended permanent solution. It says the engineers for UCO and Reflection Bay were working on the problem.
This is a dated progress report, not proof that the work has since been completed or that every flooding location has the same cause. Check subsequent UCO reports for updates, and avoid driving through floodwater.
Where to find reliable updates
- Developer: use the current project page for the advertised plan and development information.
- UCO: check community manager reports, meeting materials, and the Reporter for village coordination updates.
- Palm Beach County: use Planning, Zoning & Building records for approvals, conditions, and permits. Identify the specific project or permit rather than relying only on a street name.
- Your association: bring location-specific concerns to the board or manager, particularly where association property may be affected.
Make a concern easy to investigate
Record the location, date, time, and a concise description. Photographs taken from a safe, lawful location can help. Identify whether the concern is on association property, a roadway, or the development site. Ask the receiving office to confirm the responsible party and follow-up route.
Do not enter a construction site or move barriers to investigate. Call 911 for immediate danger; routine planning and construction questions belong with the appropriate office.
A changing neighborhood deserves clear information. Stay connected, ask specific questions, and distinguish current records from rumor.
