To me buying a home on a golf course is like buying a home on the coast.

You HAVE to know there is a danger of errant golf balls hitting your home just like those that buy a home on the coast have to know that there a danger of a hurricane taking their homes out.

I would like to hope that those buy their homes on a golf course are forced to buy additional insurance to protect their homes from damages from golf balls like those who live on the coast have to buy additional insurance to protect their homes from hurricanes.

I do not think I should have to pay anything if my golf ball accidentally breaks their window or damages their lanai screen. It is the price they pay for the view.

Those that buy these golf view houses are probably people that do not know the hazards from errant golf balls. They are enamored by the view and the fast talking sales agents. They should investigate further before they buy on a golf course.


Sorry but that is my feeling.
