We lived on a Golf Course for 11 years and were very excited to move in until we actually moved in. There was no privacy, lots of noise, foul language, littering, men relieving themselves right out in the open with no regard of the residents or their children (and yes I did get the police involved with that no-no), spectators for local tournaments would set up their chairs on our lawn without asking and leave their trash behind when they left for another hole, the groundskeepers are on the course before dawn working with lights and after sunset to keep the course free of debris, leaves, mowed, watered, etc. Golf balls were the least of our worries, it was the pigs that were disguised as Country Club Elites that were the biggest problem. When we moved here we decided no golf course but we did want the privacy and peacefulness of a water view which is what we bought with no regrets. For a good return on you home investment try to get on a all stucco street or cul-de-sac where all of the neighbors on the street have a water view. The homes on our street that have been sold to date were off the market almost overnight.
