View lots are expensive, especially water views. It is more expensive to back on a Championship Golf Course than Executive. View lots can add a premium of $40,000 to $300,000. Of course huge lots with a fabulous view are even pricier.

We've had two view lots on golf courses. Yes, they are more expensive, but IMHO, the privacy factor is priceless! We have a retention pond that pretends to be a lake. We always have birds fishing and frogs singing. No guarantee of much water, but a real treat during rainy season.
