it looks like a pretty course. Is it a nice course to play?

That why I don't golf

When people buy a home on a golf course they should know golf balls will very often hit your home. I don’t blame the golfer, if they hit a ball straight all the time they would be playing on the pro tour. I say why did you buy a home on the golf course, to show people that I have enough money to buy there. Don’t want to sound rude but, MOVE. You spent more money to buy there so move or put up a 50 ft. screen to protect your home but don’t blame the golfer. Also if you don’t want golfers to come in your yard to get their ball, MOVE! Golf course homes are nice but this is one of the headaches. You bought there & all you did is make enemies!

If you read the more complete article it states the owner of the golf course is also the developer of the homes. Seems like the golf course owner didn't properly follow the laws up there in regards to golf courses and houses on the course.

These issues are common. The family that does those amazing fireworks for the Macys parade were on Long Island for years. People built homes around them and then forced them to move. A hog farm. It STINKS, for people who build a home near a hog farm and then claim it stinks? We have the rail road, others the prison, an amusement park etc etc etc

I blame the golfers, they elected to hit the ball, it didn’t go where they was aiming . Would be same it I was driving car I let it veer cross center line hit somebody. I had control, but didn’t concentrate enough to keep in my lane.
