Bluffton, South Carolina Public Golf Community
Eagle's Pointe Bluffton SC Homes for Sale & Community Guide
A 249-home golf community with optional golf membership, low HOA fees, mature landscaping, and convenient access to Hilton Head Island, Old Town Bluffton, and Savannah.
Community Overview
What Makes Eagle's Pointe a Standout Bluffton Golf Community
Eagle's Pointe sits on Highway 278 in Bluffton, South Carolina, in a strategic spot that keeps Old Town Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, and Savannah, Georgia all within easy reach. The neighborhood was developed by Centex Homes starting in 1998, and its 249 single-family homes are arranged around a 7.5 acre lake, lagoons, and the fairways of the Eagle's Pointe Golf Club, an 18 hole course designed by Hilton Head's own Davis Love III. Moss draped live oaks and mature pines give the community a settled, established feel that is hard to find in newer Bluffton neighborhoods.
Eagle's Pointe originally had a guarded entrance, but residents voted to remove the gate to lower HOA dues while keeping the community's landscaping, entrance features, and full amenity package intact. That decision is part of what makes Eagle's Pointe one of the better value plays in the Bluffton and Hilton Head real estate market: buyers get golf course frontage, lagoon views, and a true neighborhood feel without paying for gated community overhead.
Optional Golf Membership
The Eagle's Pointe Golf Club is open to the public and membership is optional, so you are never locked into club dues just to live here.
Low HOA Fees
Removing the gate cut ongoing overhead, which keeps monthly carrying costs lower than many comparable Bluffton golf neighborhoods.
Established, Mature Landscaping
Built out between 1998 and 2003, Eagle's Pointe has the grown in trees and settled character that new construction neighborhoods take decades to reach.
Central Bluffton Location
Quick access to Old Town Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Okatie, and I-95, with everyday shopping and dining nearby on Buckwalter Parkway.

Lifestyle and Amenities
A Full Amenity Package Built Around the Golf Course and Lake
Residents do not have to be golf club members to enjoy Eagle's Pointe's recreational amenities. The community's 6,000 square foot clubhouse anchors the neighborhood, with a pro shop, restaurant, and a covered pavilion that includes a fireplace and changing rooms next to the pool.
- Junior Olympic swimming pool with a covered pavilion and changing facilities
- Hard-surface tennis court and four dedicated pickleball courts
- Basketball court and a bocce ball court
- Fitness center for residents
- Playground and picnic area for families
- 7.5 acre lake and freshwater lagoons throughout the neighborhood

The Grille at Eagle's Pointe
The clubhouse restaurant, The Grille at Eagle's Pointe, is open to the public and a favorite lunch stop after a morning round, serving burgers, bratwursts, chicken sandwiches, and build-your-own sandwich options in a casual, family-friendly setting.
Eagle's Pointe Golf Club
The Davis Love III designed course plays through small lagoons, sand bunkers, and towering pines. It is open to the public and membership is optional, which gives homeowners flexibility that many private club communities in the Lowcountry do not offer.
The course has improved significantly since Metropolitan Golf Group acquired it in 2023. Local golfers have noticed substantial improvements in course conditioning, making Eagle's Pointe one of the stronger public golf values in the Bluffton area.

Homes and Pricing
What to Expect From Eagle's Pointe Real Estate
Homes in Eagle's Pointe were built primarily between 1998 and 2003 on quarter-acre lots, with new traditional architecture and vinyl siding exteriors. Floor plans range from about 1,490 to 2,600 square feet, most with three bedrooms, an open-concept main level, and a screened porch. Four-bedroom homes exist in the community but come up for sale far less often, so buyers who need a fourth bedroom should expect a shorter list of options. Homesites back up to the golf course, the central lake, or the neighborhood's lagoons, so view premiums vary block by block.
Pricing in Eagle's Pointe has generally ranged from the mid $400,000s to the high $600,000s depending on square footage, view, and updates, though the market moves and current inventory is the only reliable guide. For the HOA fee schedule and any transfer or capital contribution fees tied to a specific address, use the link below rather than relying on a listing sheet, since fees are set by the association and can change.
Straight Talk
Things Buyers Should Know
- Homes were built between 1998 and 2003.
- Floor plans are not as open as many new construction homes.
- Inventory is limited, since there are only 249 homes in the neighborhood.
- Most homes feature low-maintenance vinyl siding.
- Four-bedroom homes are uncommon.
Because Eagle's Pointe sits directly on Highway 278, traffic can back up during peak commuting hours. If your daily routine involves crossing the bridge to Hilton Head Island every morning, it's worth driving the route during the time you'll normally travel.
Who Eagle's Pointe Fits Best
Is Eagle's Pointe the Right Bluffton Neighborhood for You
Every Bluffton golf community has a different buyer profile. Eagle's Pointe tends to fit people who want the setting and amenities of a golf course neighborhood without paying for a guarded gate or mandatory club membership.
Value-Focused Families
Buyers moving to the Beaufort County School District who want single-family homes, sidewalks, a playground, and a pool without the price tag of Bluffton's higher-end gated neighborhoods.
Active Adults and Retirees
Golfers who want an optional membership course, pickleball, tennis, and a walkable layout, paired with HOA dues that run on the lower side compared to many other Bluffton and Hilton Head golf communities. If a large 55 plus community like Sun City is not the right fit, Eagle's Pointe offers a similar active, amenity-rich lifestyle without an age restriction and typically at a lower operating budget.
Second-Home and Relocation Buyers
People relocating from out of state or buying a Lowcountry second home who want an established, low-maintenance neighborhood close to Hilton Head Island and Savannah, without overpaying for amenities they may not use.
Location and Schools
Getting Around From Eagle's Pointe
Beaufort County Schools
Eagle's Pointe is zoned for Okatie Elementary School, Bluffton Middle School, and May River High School, all part of the Beaufort County School District. May River High School offers career and technical programs alongside a full college prep track, which matters to families weighing school options as much as home price.
Shopping and Everyday Life
Berkeley Place, about two miles away, brings local restaurants and a movie theater within easy reach, and Buckwalter Place adds a Publix and a Kroger for everyday groceries. That means Eagle's Pointe residents get a quiet, golf course setting without giving up quick access to daily errands.
Local Expertise
Lowcountry Guidance From a Broker Who Lives Here
I am Carl Kratz, Broker and Realtor with Century 21 Integra Realty, and I have lived in the Lowcountry since 1996. I have been licensed in real estate since 2009, and I work Eagle's Pointe alongside every other Bluffton and Hilton Head neighborhood, from Sun City to Sea Pines. I hold Century 21's Master's Diamond and Master's Ruby Awards.
When I walk a client through Eagle's Pointe, we talk through the same things I would want to know as a buyer: what the HOA covers now that the gate is gone, how a golf course or lagoon view lot compares on resale, and whether a home's age means it is due for a roof or HVAC conversation before closing. That is the kind of detail that protects you long after the closing table.
My goal is never just to show the homes, the landscaping, and the overall look of a neighborhood. I try to give clients a real sense of what it is like to actually live there. The last time I was at Eagle's Pointe, I walked into a community social happening at the pool and clubhouse: a beer wagon, live music, and a lot of laughing. Residents were genuinely enjoying each other's company, not just showing up to an event. That is the kind of everyday community life that a listing sheet cannot show you.
