The fact that the golf administration is addressing the 'drainage problem' on your hole and the course, will help bolster your value. Who would want a view of a flooded golf course? As for the cart path, that is a product to achieve the solution. With out it, and with drainage problems, the carts would most likely be pushed toward your property anyway and beat down the grass there. Your question as to who, you need to inquire at the Golf Administration office. The VCDDs have nothing to do with the championship courses. IMO.. from your description, the encounter with "Ricky" probably went (my guess) as such....."You can't do this here, it will ruin my view...." or something similar. Based on your input above, I would also guess you are from the New York-New Jersey area, where yelling and screaming is the only means of communication....so when you challenged his authority, his response was not to your liking....and instead of arrogant, was factual. He is in charge of the championship courses, to keep them running and in good shape. If changes are necessary, be glad he is making the changes. (other communities would not necessarily do them).

Gosh, so many wrong assumptions, guesses and statements, I'm not sure where to begin. First, I am not from NY/NJ, but from the Mid-west. I was taught to be polite, look at things from others' perspectives, and never jump to conclusions. The facts are, we have politely tried on several occasions to ask them to just work with us. But The Developer's staff has refused to even tell us exactly what they plan, just evergreens are being considered and there will be a golf cart path. And I think I am the best judge of whether I will dislike my view being partially blocked and if The Developer's staff was "arrogant", not someone who was not there.
Many thanks to all the repliers who tried to be helpful and could understand the concerns of someone who was being negatively affected by actions of The Developer.
