a) I think water would have the problem of bugs and or bigger creatures? (I'm a dog person. My dog is big but as I get older might opt for one easy to pick up. So NO CROCS PLEASE!)
b) I think golf course would be nice. I heard they mow the grass at sun up. I sleep until 9-10. I'm retired! You think I'm getting up early!?!
c) Nature preserve - Both bugs and crocs?
d) Fenced properties w/ pebbles instead of grass seems not great for a dog. Also dog clean up might be more unpleasant... I'm not thrilled about limiting my horizon to 20 ft either.
I would love to hear from any long term residents who have lived in these type of situations and can give me feedback. And/or suggest another way to have some nature around my home?
Thanks for your time!
Be safe!

We bought on a golf course 2 years ago and are happy with our decision. We selected the location because, like you, we were looking for a place without a neighbor in the rear. We also considered houses at the edge of the villages (farm field behind), along a turtle preserve (not wetland), a wetland, lake frontage, and courtyard villas. We decided the golf course was the best bang for the buck. Our home is at the end of the fairway behind the green so there is some distance between our lot and the course. The golf cart path is not near us. We looked at a home on a course near a tee box but noticed, while touring the house, that we could hear golfers teeing off. We have also seen evidence that a few homes along the fairway are frequent targets for errant golf balls. We do not notice the grass cutting noise near our home although I see them out on the course in the morning when i walk the dog. We actually enjoy watching golfers putt while we sit on our lanai.
