Usually the liability rests with the golf course owner but in many cases the golf course is built first and the golf course owner then sells lots to homebuilders. There is usually a covenant in the sale of the lots that prevents the golf course owner being liable for damages by errant golf balls.

The verdict was overturned on appeal and what everyone here is saying applied.


“Errant golf balls are to golf what foul balls and errors are to baseball. They are a natural part of the game,” Kafker wrote. “They demonstrate the difficulty and challenge of the sport even for the very best players. Despite practice, instruction, technological improvements, and even good golf course design and operation—disputed in the instant case—golf shots go awry, as a matter of course.”



Not sure if matter of "course" was meant as a pun
Pretty sure Justice Kafker was indeed making a pun.

Your golf course facing home probably tripled in value over the past year, I would think that has to balance the negatives of living on a course a bit.
