I would much prefer a water or nature view of some type over a golf course, even worse if the cart path or tee is right behind your home.
I feel your pain. My vacation home is in a golf course community. I bought pre-construction but the developer had a very detailed mockup of the lots and golf course. I chose a location that was 90 degs from a tee box. I’m not a golfer but my logic was no one can hit a ball 90 degs from their intended direction, it’s a matter of physics. I was wrong. I averaged about one ball per month, either into the stucco, roof, or window. How bad does a golfer need to be, to be that far off??? I’ve never played the game so I came from a place of naiveté. As for buying on a golf course, never again.
