Why would The Villages have an "official" position on this...other than no hitting beyond the out of bounds marker. As most golf courses that have homes lining the fairway, It is the homeowners responsibility for any damage that occurs....they bought with full knowledge that a golf course was behind their home and actually paid a pretty premium for the privilege.
Now that said, the golfer who hits the errant ball and "knows" that damage occurred would have a moral responsibility...but I doubt it would be legal one. I only say doubt because every state has different laws.
