Unfortunately, there is a huge Magnolia tree that blocks a major portion. We are planning to build a pool and as much as I love trees and nature this tree needs to be addressed. I was planning on trimming or transplanting the tree but did not realize it was on the golf course property line. Has anyone encountered this type of scenario? And what results if any? Naysayers need not respond. I have seen all the jokes and negativity before on this site and it is disappointing. Loving the Villages Life in The Friendliest hometown in America. Sincerely appreciate your advice.

That’s why you didn’t pay a premium for a home on a golf course.

There are some trees that have been planted to prevent the hooks and slices from hitting the homes. If this is one of those trees I would be surprised if the golf gods will allow its removal.

He didn’t say anything about uprooting a tree for a better view 😳 He wants to add a pool, the tree branches are obviously hanging on his property.

That’s the one tree that many people love around TV.

It would be best to inform owner of tree before doing any trimming and if trimming requires tree trespassing. You want to avoid litigation. The owner might consider having their maintenance people handle it and possibly bill the homeowner . That way if tree is damaged and dies the homeowner would not be responsible.

Magnolias are very messy, the last tree I'd ever plant.

Usually an improvement to take them out.

The tree was there before you purchased the home, should have realized that! Trees grow and that’s why The Villages planted. The view was set up for the Golf Course also! Not going to the right authorities could cost you fines and expenses to The Villages Golf Course property. The Championship Courses are owned by the Morse Family and is Private Property!
