Diamond Hill Homes for Sale, Valrico FL

About Diamond Hill

Diamond Hill sits just north of State Road 60 near the Valrico and Dover line along Sydney Road. Its streets carry gemstone names like Brilliant Cut Way, Emerald Hill Way and Gem Luster Court, and homes there mostly date from the 2000s. The neighborhood is gated without a guard, and the association runs a community pool, a fitness center and common areas. A good share of lots back to the fairways or to the course's ponds. What makes the setting unusual is the land under the course. Diamond Hill Golf Club was built on an old phosphate mine, so the holes rise and fall more than most Florida layouts, and some homes look down across the course rather than straight across it. The club itself has been around far longer than the houses, opening in the summer of 1959. For buyers, Diamond Hill offers newer construction than much of the Brandon area with a quick run to SR 60 shopping, while still keeping a quiet, gated feel. Confirm HOA dues and any club access terms with the association before buying.

The golf at Diamond Hill

Diamond Hill Golf Club opened in the summer of 1959 and was designed by Chic Adams. It plays to par 72 and measures roughly 6,760 to 7,000 yards from the back tees depending on the source, with a 73.8 rating and 135 slope, so the tips are a real test. The former phosphate mine gives the property elevation changes that stand out in flat Hillsborough County. Two holes get the most attention: a signature par 3 that carries over water and a par 5 that measures around 630 yards from the tips. The club runs as a semi-private facility at 13115 Sydney Road. It books public tee times, offers several membership options and runs a Players Club for competitive golfers, along with leagues, punch cards, private lessons and seasonal camps. The club posted a 2026 football season special and keeps an active event calendar, which points to an operation that is open and busy.
