Love living on a golf course
 

We live on a championship golf course. I would recommend a championship course because it gets less traffic. I believe that the executive courses get much more traffic and there are carts on them until dark. On the championship courses the traffic is much less and they are generally off the course well before dark. At least that's our experience living on the course we live on. We really enjoy watching the golfers and at times, when we are out on our lanai, we wave and say hello. We are on the 8th tee so there is a very slim chance of is getting hit with golf balls. We have never had a ball in our yard and won't get bend out of shape of someone were to come in our yard to get one. Plus there are no rear neighbor's! We have a lot of privacy. It doesn't bother us with the maintenance of the course and we cannot think of anything negative about living on a golf course. Our house is set back a ways so we don't experience people looking into our home or being uncomfortable in our pool. I would strongly recommend you take in consideration how close the house is to the cart path, weather it's a executive or championship course and how great the
Possibility is of being in the path of golf balls is. Otherwise, we find it a great place to live!

I love the view of a golf course.
Being allergic to cut grass :rolleyes: made me go with
a lake view which we love.

Some CYV ARE ELEVATED which prevents golfers from looking into home.

As I recollect and unless it has changed consuming alcohol on any of these courses is forbidden..not that its going to stop anyone.

We live on a championship course and considerably lucky that the cart path is on the other side of the course. Living on a golf course has more advantages than disadvantages in my view.

For example with the power outage last night we sat on the lanai and it was so quiet you could hear the wisking of wings as the birds flew by. Its sort of like a drive by only with birds :D

In 10 years we only had one guy who drove his cart onto our property. In fact our experience has been that the majority of golfers have been most courteous who simply take their penalty stroke and drop another ball rather than making a search on your property.

This thread reminds me of the question often ask when one takes a cruise. should one chose a room with a balcony, a room with a port window or an inside room? the obvious answer is depending on the person. I spoke with an elderly couple on my first cruise that sought a room with a balcony because they dined in mostly
and while enjoy be at sea preferred to stay in their room. My next door neighbors went on a cruise every six months with as many family members as possible. they would get inside rooms add extra bunks and party hardy.

We have bought two homes in the Villages. Both homes were on golf courses and both have provided beautiful views. We are currently in an elevated courtyard villa on a tee box of an executive course and the thing I love the most about our house, is the enjoyment of sitting on our lanai.

All houses in the Villages are beautiful in there own way. :) Best of luck on your decision!

Free golf balls??

There is no prohibition about drinking on course thats why they sell carts with coolers ~~:beer3::beer3:

It would be great to be on a GC in the right location. The only thing holding back this move is money!

I don't know that a home near a tee is all that bad. I'd be very careful not to get one that is in a lading area for tee shots or close to a green that has a long approach.

If you do end up in one of those areas, I would make sure that you have some kind of protective barrier erected to protect your home and for your personal safety.

golf view add 50k

True story because I am telling it on myself... #6 at Churchhill Executive Course is a long par 4. I HOOKED my tee shot off of the roof of one house, the ball bounced and hit the roof of the next house, and then hit the top of a bird cage of the next house. The slope of the bird cage gave the ball enough mommentun to make it just barely back in bounds. I sheepishly went over hit my second shot and moved on....

We also have a pond between us and the green, and the cart path is on the far side of the course.
We bought our resale home for the golf course location, not for the actual house which we figured we can change to suit.
If privacy is important to you, a golf course lot can't be beat.

We've owned two homes on golf courses and we've never had problems with noise from mowers or blown chemicals.
But sometimes the bull frogs in the pond are very noisy.

I think Jim is talking about the premium on NEW view lots which is $$$$.
If you purchase resale, the premium is waaaay less.
I think we paid around $30,000 more for our resale home than a similar home on a standard lot.
