Another thing to keep in mind, is not only the people or lack of behind you, but those to the side of your home. We know a couple that bought a house on a golf course, and have neighbors about 6 feet away from them on the side ie. side kissing lanais. They have a beautiful view out the back, but should they get new neighbors that entertain a lot or put a television on their lanai, their privacy won't be anything like what it is now. And of course their is a large lot premium for golf course homes, as well as other issues such as mowing in the early a.m., and higher taxes.
When you think about it, probably the majority of homes in the Villages have homes behind them, and probably the majority of Villagers are happy with their home situation. Is that a guarantee that you won't have problems? No, of course not, but I think the majority of people are courteous neighbors, and if their is a noise problem you can talk to people and try and straighten things out. The desire to have a view is a personal issue as well. We are so busy day to day, that paying extra for a nice view would be wasted on us - we're just gone all the time. But is you like to sit home a lot on your lanai and/or watch out the window, it just might be your thing.
