Golf Course Good, Bad, Or No Value

Usually it's windows but you can get special screens or netting. Brick the siding or use a very hard siding.

you know how much it would cost to brick siding? besides no brick edge to set the brick on would be a monster job imho.

No step for a stepper. I have seen people brick manf. homes. Did out the footing, pour an extension and brick away.

Sue the golf course to fix it.

Golf balls and where they go are the responsibility of the person hitting the ball. If your hit by a golf ball you go find the golfer. Ever read your baseball ticket about getting hit by a foul ball?

Yes. Err, where did I find this, and what sport is it?

You don't need a ticket for admission to your own property. If your house is next to a golf course and it keeps getting over and over hit by errant shots from the golf course, the property owner may very well may have a legal cause of action against the owner/operator of the golf course, depending on the state and whether there are any easements, etc.

Talk about golf courses has me reminiscing about college age days. A friend of mine lived in a townhouse that backed up to a golf course at Myrtle Beach. He was on the fairway where a lot of drives off the tee would land. You could not see the tee box from the ground level but you could see the top of their head from the 2nd floor balcony. After a beer or 12 we would watch for tee shots and run out and grab the ball and throw it further down the course with all we had or throw it back toward the tee box, careful not to throw it back over the hill or simply grab it and walk back inside and go sit on the 2nd floor balcony and enjoy the entertainment. It was always funny to see their head swell when we would compliment them on crushing the drive when we had winged it on towards the hole or how disappointed they were with a shortened drive or see how long they would spend looking for the ball in my pocket.

Reminds me of my high school days working at a country club. Our sole purpose as grounds keepers was to mess with golfers. Sending balls in the woods with mowers, changing cups after they teed off, turning on sprinklers randomly, giving out carts with no gas, etc.....good times!

Not many golf communities around here, but did appraise one similar the the OPs subject. Definitely in the line of fire, but not hitting the house, just the yard and pool. No market reaction that I could determine, however the property sold 5 times in 5 years....and always listed in the off season.

Developers will charge a premium for a golf course lot. Realtors try and justify higher prices for golf course lots. In established subdivisions, it is very difficult to show any additional value for location on the course. That said, a rabid golfer might be willing to pay a premium. The other side of that coin is guys like me. I would never consider buying a golf course lot. I don't want people peeing in my bushes, or chasing their balls in my yard. I sure as hell don't want 3-400 people a day walking by staring in my pool cage. That house is completely worthless to me.

Agree 100%.
