We've seen some golf course lots that we wouldn't care for that people paid quite dearly for. Yes, they don't have neighbors behind them, but if you have a cart path near your property you're looking at golf carts driving by every 7 or 8 minutes, or people near your property line looking for balls. And if you're near a tee box you're listening to the golfers and hearing their carts. We find our interior lot to be much more private in that sense, but again we seem to have lucked out with neighbors, closed in lanai's and landscaping privacy. Our lanai is a peaceful retreat, and I just love it. Everyone has their own priorities. Of course people can move, but when you get to be in your 70's and 80's for example, moving a household is a real chore and is stressful. Plus it may not be affordable for everyone unless you downsize to something smaller and cheaper.
