Entirely the golfer's fault (unless a bird grabbed the ball and tossed it at the window). The golfer caused the ball to fly through the air, the golfer was solely responsible for the trajectory of the ball, it was the golfer's fault that the ball hit the window.

The golfer is not responsible for fixing the window. Errant golf balls are a risk accepted when purchasing a home on a golf course, just as alligators are a risk accepted when purchasing on water. The golfer has no obligation to fix the window.
