[QUOTE=hulahips;1285262]Found a home we love on golf course. Can you tell us advantages and .

......

We live on a course since we came in 2010 ----

Its all about you !!!! My likes and dislikes !

People say its not good if you live by the tee box --We do not live there but I can see that might get annoying

People say and I agree about what side the cart path is on counts -----carts going by all day can be annoying --we are on the opposite side

People say are you in the flight path of all the EXCEPTIONAL players ? lol --that can be true --we get hit on the cage on occasion --not a real problem --- sometimes it fun to tease the golfers when they come to find the ball ---if they have a sense of humor .

The Two things that are not arguable for us ----
We can sit out side on the Lanai and see the wildlife available to us
I can go outside in the morning and have my coffee and look out and not see another fat guy looking back at me !!!!

Good luck --I my opinion the course will not be an issue the house you put on it is what will count :pepper2::beer3::undecided::undecided::undecided:: shrug::shrug::shrug::pray::thumbup::thumbup::BigAp plause:

Damage from golf balls is not covered by insurance.

Most of us are envious of folks who live on golf courses.

disturbance from early morning maintenance taking place

chemicals being applied, and getting blown on to your property

nosey golfers looking at you as they pass by

golf course homes tend to sell for a premium - are they worth it?

[QUOTE=red tail;1285279]Lots of variables. Different strokes for different folks. Many pros and cons depending on the specific location.

Love ours. We are fortunate and do not have a cart path on our side also have a pond between us and the green. As mentioned earlier no worries of backyard neighbors..... Great view, worth it!

Type of Course
 

House on executive course next to cart path might be noisier. A championship course should be quieter. Carts usually drive down the fairway.

Cons: Of course, more expensive for the same house because the lot cost $125,000 more and up. Bond and taxes higher. As others have noted, noise and golf balls can be an issue depending where you buy on the course.

Pros: With the right golf course lot: Beautiful views from your lanai. Very private early morning and late evening. Serene and peaceful.

If you have the resources, it becomes a matter of personal preference. You decide for yourself.

In my 9th home in 16 years, all on the golf course in various spots. I have lived in all possible locations on different holes, my least preferred is 100 yards from the tees on the right side. My favorite is on the green or near the green to watch the approach shots and the putting. I would not buy a home that was not on a course for privacy reasons and the beautiful openness and expansive view. A few people go by but very few even look at your home, they are interested in their games.

While it is certainly a personal thing, if you like the home, buy it!! Good luck.

I think the BOND is the same for everyone in your section.....but taxes would be higher based on the value of the property/home. If you can afford the home most likely you can afford the taxes...enjoy!!

There was a prior thread about GC water sprinkler that was out of adjustment and sprayed reclaimed water into the lanai and pool. I live just off a GC, and neighbors have reported the occasional golf cart taking short cut BETWEEN houses. Some have reported people coming right up to the house and looking in, especially when there are renovations going on.
We actually have a road to the back of our house, and enjoy lots of privacy, outside of the occasional car or cart going by, but since they need to keep an eye on the road, they cannot stare in the house or lanai.

As pointed out above there are several excellent comments.
