People living on golf courses should expect their house may be hit at times and that is part of the price they pay for enjoying the benefits of living on a course.

Part of the problem here is how close the homes are built to the golf course. Play Ocala Country Club and notice how far back the golf course homes are from the fairways. Ocala National is the same, it is virtually impossible to hit a home on that course.
