I live on Nancy Lopez across from a beautiful green on a par-3 hole. It is absolutely magnificent. The cart path is on the opposite side. The contour of the land is sloped toward my side but there are huge traps there as well. Therefore everyone tries to keep their ball to the cart path side. Also, because it is a par- 3, almost all golfers are hitting less than maximum distance clubs. In six years I have never had a golf ball land in my yard. There are faint noises from gas carts and the morning mowing. We can't hear clinking drivers or any voices, (except on two occasions when some golfers lost their composure after scoring a hole-in-one. Both were kind enough to invite me to meet at the bar later.)
Because I am a golfer, I knew when I looked carefully at the property that it was safe from any of the many possible negatives of living on a golf course. Because there are many possible negatives, I would strongly recommend you have an experienced golfer look at any property you might consider. The right golf course location can really lift your spirits, not to mention increasing the value of your property.
