Buckhorn Springs Homes for Sale, Valrico FL

About Buckhorn Springs

Buckhorn Springs wraps around one of the oldest private golf clubs in east Hillsborough. The club was established in 1965, opened for play in 1968, and sits at what it describes as the highest elevation in Hillsborough County, which gives the area a bit more roll than the flatter neighborhoods nearby. Homes around the course are mostly single-family, and the Buckhorn Golf Club Estates section includes houses from the late 1970s on larger lots, some overlooking holes like the par-5 eighth. Nearby subdivisions such as Buckhorn Springs Manor fill in the surrounding streets. Listings in the golf estates section describe very low, optional HOA fees and no CDD, which is a contrast to the newer master-planned communities east of Brandon. The result is an older, tree-heavy setting with bigger yards and fewer rules. Buyers who want a private club close to home without living inside a gated development tend to look here first. Because associations differ by section, ask for the governing documents on any specific address.

The golf at Buckhorn Springs

Buckhorn Springs Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole private course on South Miller Road in Valrico. The club dates to 1965, with the course opening for play in 1968, and it describes itself as the oldest private golf and country club in the Brandon and Valrico area. The property sits on the high ground of eastern Hillsborough, so several holes play over gentle elevation changes that are uncommon in the county. Beyond the course, the club runs a golf shop, lessons, outings, a full-service restaurant and bar, a pool, and tennis courts, and it hosts weekly events and tournaments as well as weddings and corporate functions. Household memberships cover the dining room, pool and tennis courts. Golfers review the course regularly through 2026, which shows it remains in play. The course designer is not confirmed in the sources reviewed.

Living in Buckhorn Springs: location and lifestyle

Buckhorn Springs sits just south of State Road 60 between Brandon and Valrico, so groceries, restaurants and big-box shopping are a few minutes away. Lithia Pinecrest Road and Bell Shoals Road run south toward FishHawk and Riverview, while Miller Road and Kingsway Road connect north to SR 60 and I-4. Downtown Tampa is about 25 minutes by the Selmon Expressway outside rush hour. The neighborhood itself is quiet, with mature oaks, larger lots and older homes that buyers often update. Bloomingdale's library, YMCA and parks are a short drive west. For outdoor time beyond golf, Alafia River State Park and Lithia Springs Park are both within about 20 minutes. Owners who want a club pool and tennis without a community clubhouse can get both through a club membership.
