Default Views are worth every penny

We bought a lot on a championship golf course with a water view 20 years ago. Best thing we ever did and worth every penny. Never have seen a gator, only 2x had a ball land in our backyard, mowing is in the late mornings or early afternoons on the course on days the course is closed, it's closed 2 days a week. Love the privacy, still love the view and are amazed it's ours, even after 20 plus years, the view still takes our breath away. Homes on the course seldom go for sale and when they do they sell within a few days for $300,000 and much more than interior lots and even the lots across the street who have a view of the course between the houses.
I don't know about executive courses, but championship course homes have a lot of privacy and we would buy it again in a heartbeat, it was well worth the upcharge.
