I’m too embarrassed to go looking for golf balls, especially when one strays off course property. I don’t even go in out of bounds to retrieve ball. It holds up play. They are too cheap to re-supply the ball. |

Don’t enter private property for ball
This person may or may not be an “experienced” golfer who doesn’t know golf etiquette. Either way he owes the property owner an apology.

And besides golf etiquette, there's the thing about not trespassing, which applies everywhere.

By Raymond Schumann - Board Certified Real Estate Attorney: "Golf course communities always have a section in their deed restrictions, easements and covenants that permit golfers to retrieve their errant balls. This section might read: "Every Lot and the Common Area is burdened with an easement permitting golf balls hit from the Club facilities to unintentionally come upon the Lot and for golfers at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner to come upon the exterior portions of the Lot to retrieve errant golf balls." If the Lot is fenced or walled, the documents usually confirm that the golfer must seek the Owner's or Occupant's permission before entry. In other words, people may enter property to retrieve items such as golf balls, or pets if they do so in a reasonable manner. Tearing down a fence would not be considered reasonable. Every owner of property located on or adjacent to a golf course should become familiar with the applicable sections of the deed restrictions, easements and covenants governing their property." I still won't go into someone's yard to retrieve a ball, but if someone comes into my yard, they apparently have the legal right to do so. There are certain properties on certain courses (and golfers know where they are), that you should avoid at all costs---the homeowner is NUTS--to the point that he has a restraining order against him Last edited by golfing eagles; 04-04-2020 at 05:25 AM. |

In either case, I think it is just plain rude to do so without permission. If I'm sitting on my lanai, I tell golfers to go right ahead and get their ball, but I support anyone who doesn't want them to. |

Sorry. Nothing in deed restrictions in The Villages reference right of a golfer to trespass on your property and rummage through your landscaping with their golf club. If there was such an easement would The Villages assume liability for “slip and falls?”. If you read the Good Golf rule booklet, it specifically states not to leave the golf course to retrieve balls.
Nowhere does it state that the homeowner must allow strangers on their private property. As far as the edge of the property, I have found golfers looking for balls in my front yard and walking past my bedroom and bathroom windows. A few golfers have politely asked if they can look for their ball but most just barge on in usually accompanied by one or two of their “helpful friends.” If you cannot afford to replace a ball and you think you are entitled to invade someone’s property, maybe it is time to find a sport you can afford. |

Golf balls in private yards
It’s not in my deed restrictions here in The Villages. Good golf school here in TV teaches not to enter yards unless invited to retrieve a golf ball.

The drawback of being golf front is golfers, but most golfers are very respectful of the property owners.

Another addition to the arguments regarding shutting down pickle ball. Farting! The newest method of transmitting a virus.
