We bought a lot with houses behind. We and our neighbors put in lots of landscaping, so visually we don't see them. They enclosed their lanai, and our neighbors to the back and sides all enclosed their lanais which really helped with any noise issues. Ours is just screened. It is very quiet about 98% of the time. If one of the neighbors either to the side or back has a party on their enclosed lanai we do hear people's voices. Of course, you'll hear voices to the side even if you face a golf course. We just thought that $100,000+ premium was too much to face a golf course so we didn't want to spend it.
