We went through the same analysis a couple years ago. We really liked the premier home, but were just not sure about the interior lots. At the time, the premier lot looked rather large and we thought that the home behind would be a good distance away. Most lots were empty at the time we were looking to build.
We also looked at 2 designer homes on golf course lots. Both homes (Lantana & Bridgeport) were very nice and there was no chance of anyone building behind us.
We purchased the Bridgeport on the golf course and love it. No obstruction of views and we have gorgeous sunsets almost every day.
We have since driven by the premier lot and there are now houses on all lots. The lot we were planning to build on is very close to the home behind it. I don't think we would have been happy with that arrangement.
My advise....If the premium for the golf course lot fits into your budget, go for it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
