Here is the story. click here

The house was there 7 years before the golf course. The golf course has has 3 different owners. Sometime they get 200 balls a day landing on their property. I think the golf course should be held liable since the house was there first and the course did not take any measures to protect the house. Instead of a golf course what if it was a shooting range?

There was a golf course I use to play called Ramblewood in Mt. Laurel, NJ . There were houses built around the course. The golf course owners want to sell the course to building investors but were prevented because the residents were sold golf course lots and they have to remain golf course lots. Otherwise the houses would unfairly depreciate.
