Eagle Trace: a gated 1980s golf community with the best lots in central Coral Springs.
Built around the Arthur Hills course that hosted the Honda Classic for most of the 1980s, Eagle Trace trades newness for lot size, mature trees and value per square foot — if you buy with the inspection discipline 1980s homes deserve.
Coral Springs' original golf community
Eagle Trace is a gated community in central-west Coral Springs (ZIP 33071) built around the Eagle Trace Golf Club, an Arthur Hills course that opened in 1983 as the TPC at Eagle Trace and hosted the Honda Classic from 1984 through 1991 and once more in 1996. The club lost the TPC branding in 2018 and operates today as a public course under ClubLink. Around it sit a dozen-plus sub-communities — Georgetown at Eagle Trace and Eagle Point at Eagle Trace among them — of mostly 1980s and 1990s single-family homes, many on fairway or lake lots, with floor plans commonly running 2,000 to 5,000-plus square feet.
Compared with the 2000s gated communities in 33076, Eagle Trace offers larger lots, mature landscaping, more architectural variety and generally lower prices per square foot — in exchange for homes that are now 30–40 years old. Prices typically run from the mid-$600,000s into the $1 millions for larger golf-front homes.
Who buys here
Buyers who want a gated, established neighborhood with room to breathe and don't need brand-new construction; golfers; and renovators who see 1980s bones on a good lot as the best value in Coral Springs. Resale homes that have already had roofs, windows and kitchens updated command a clear premium over originals — a spread I help buyers and sellers price accurately.
What I check in Eagle Trace homes
- Roof and 4-point items. Original 1980s roofs are long gone, but second-generation roofs from the late 1990s and 2000s are now the insurance question. Pull the permit.
- Electrical panels. Some 1980s homes carry panels insurers won't accept; replacement is a known cost, not a mystery.
- Plumbing. Cast-iron drains and original water heaters; a sewer scope is cheap insurance.
- Golf-course lots. Views, errant balls, maintenance traffic and the course's long-term ownership all factor into value and enjoyment.
- HOA structure. Master gate/security association plus sub-community associations; fees and rules vary more than in newer master-planned communities.
Eagle Trace questions
Is the Eagle Trace golf course still open?
Yes. Eagle Trace Golf Club — an Arthur Hills design that opened in 1983 and hosted the PGA Tour's Honda Classic from 1984 to 1991 and again in 1996 — operates as a public course under ClubLink ownership. It carried the TPC brand until 2018.
Do I have to join the golf club if I buy in Eagle Trace?
No. The club is public and separate from the homeowners' associations; residents can join or simply play as the public does. Confirm current HOA fees and any gate or security assessments for the specific sub-community.
What era are Eagle Trace homes?
Mostly 1980s and 1990s single-family homes, many 2,000–5,000 square feet on golf or lake lots, built in a dozen-plus sub-communities such as Georgetown and Eagle Point. Expect 1980s systems (roofs, panels, plumbing) to be a focus of inspections unless already updated.
