A Grantham corner couryard villa is a great alternative.
Good point. It pays to be careful when selecting a golf course lot. It is very true that not all golf course lots are private. We looked for a Villa that had the cart path on the far side away from our birdcage. We also looked for one that didn't have a tee right behind the Villa. So we occasionally see golfers driving by, and it is pleasant to see them while I'm having my morning coffee in my PJs.

We sometimes hear noise in the early morning from maintenance people. But we just close our sliding doors and return to bed. The Villa is practically soundproof.

And at night we can sit in our birdcage with a candle burning and watch the jack rabbits play.

Ahhhh .. life in TV .. priceless.
