The Villages website refers to Home Golf Front Site, Golf View Site, Water Front Site, Water View Site, View Site, and Preserve Site.

Can anyone explain the differences between a Golf Front Site and a Golf View Site and a Water Front Site and a Water View Site and a regular View Site? Why isn't there a preserve view site?

Any pros or cons for these various sites?

I have seen complaints from people that live on golf courses - noise and golf balls in their back yards. Do people with view sites think that it is worth the premium price?
I live on Silver Lake golf course and I love my view. I am far enough from the green that I have never (so far) been hit by golf balls. I have a view of the 4th green and 5th tee and a "water view". Beware of that one. It is a retention pond and some of them go dry. But I love my view and to me it is worth it. Just check them out.
