The community
What Is Eagle Trace?
Eagle Trace is a guard-gated golf community in western Coral Springs, built around an 18-hole Arthur Hills course that opened in 1983. It holds roughly 900 homes across about a dozen neighborhoods, from golf-front estates to coach homes and townhomes, and club membership is optional.
The course came first, and the neighborhoods grew around it. It opened as the first member club in the PGA TOUR’s Tournament Players Club network and hosted the Honda Classic from 1984 to 1991 and again in 1996. Homes followed from the mid-1980s into the early 2000s, which is why one street can feel quite different from the next.
Each neighborhood has its own association, and a master association oversees the gates and shared common areas. For buyers, that layered structure is the first thing to understand: the address inside Eagle Trace shapes the home style, the monthly cost and the rules.
Why buyers look here
Three Things That Set Eagle Trace Apart
Staffed gates
Entry is through guard-gated entrances staffed around the clock. A gated golf setting at this scale is uncommon in Coral Springs, and it is often the first reason buyers ask about Eagle Trace.
Range within one gate
Golf-front estates, single-family pool homes, coach homes, villas and townhomes all sit inside the same perimeter. Buyers can enter the community at one level and move up later without leaving it.
Golf without the obligation
Club membership is non-equity and not mandatory. Residents can live on the course without joining it, and join later if golf becomes part of the plan.
The course
What Is the Golf Course at Eagle Trace?
Eagle Trace Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 Arthur Hills design that plays to roughly 7,000 yards from the back tees. It is owned and operated by ClubLink.
It opened in 1983 as the first member-based club in the TPC network and carried TPC branding until 2018. It has hosted the Dixie Amateur since 2011. Water comes into play across much of the layout, which is also what gives so many homes their lake and fairway views.
Membership is not a condition of buying in Eagle Trace. Confirm current membership categories, initiation and dues directly with the club; these are set by the club and can change.

Before you buy here
What to Check Before Buying in Eagle Trace
Read the specific neighborhood, not just the gate. Fees, rules and home age vary from one Eagle Trace neighborhood to the next.
- Two layers of association feesMost homes carry a neighborhood HOA and the master association. Get both amounts, what each covers and any pending assessments in writing.
- Neighborhood rulesLeasing, pets, exterior changes and parking are set neighborhood by neighborhood. Read the documents for the specific address before you commit.
- Roof age and systemsMany homes date from the late 1980s and 1990s. Roof, HVAC and window age drive both insurability and the real cost of ownership.
- Golf and water exposureA fairway lot, a lake lot and an interior lot are three different purchases. Value, privacy and insurance can all differ.
- Club membership termsIf golf is part of the plan, confirm categories, initiation and dues directly with the club. They are separate from the home purchase.
