The Eagles Homes for Sale, Odessa FL

About The Eagles

The Eagles sits off Gunn Highway and Racetrack Road in Odessa, in the northwest corner of Hillsborough County. The community grew through the 1990s and 2000s in a series of neighborhoods such as Windsor Park and Nine Eagles, and streets carry names from famous courses like Carnoustie, Muirfield and Hoylake. Entry is guard-gated around the clock, and association amenities include a clubhouse, tennis courts, a park and a restaurant at the golf club. Homes are single-family, many on lots that back to fairways, ponds or wooded preserve. Listings reviewed describe low HOA dues and no CDD, though the master association and sub-associations each bill separately, so total costs should be added up for any address. With two 18-hole courses, more than 30 ponds, lakes and canals, and a lot of tree cover, the setting feels more rural than Westchase a few miles south. Buyers who want a guard gate and 36 holes without a private club bill often compare The Eagles with Cheval and Westchase.

The golf at The Eagles

The Eagles Golf Club has two 18-hole courses inside the gated community. The Lakes Course opened in 1970, plays more than 7,000 yards from the back tees and has water in play on all but one hole, with five tee sets and 39 bunkers. The Forest Course was built in 1995 and renovated in 2012; Gary Koch and Ron Garl each designed one nine. It plays about 6,700 yards from the championship tees and features a drivable par-4 third and a peninsula green on the par-3 sixth. The club promotes itself as public-access golf, so the public can book tee times on either course, and it has hosted local tournaments for years. In 2007 the Tampa Bay Times picked two Eagles holes for its list of the best 18 holes in Tampa Bay. The clubhouse is at 16101 Nine Eagles Drive, and tee times are posted through late 2026.

Is club membership required in The Eagles?

Optional. The Eagles Golf Club offers public-access tee times on both courses, so residents can play without joining. No membership requirement for homeowners appears in the sources reviewed.
