Since 88, every apartment and 3 houses have been on the course! Love it!
How our current house sits on somewhat of a turn on the street, we cannot see our neighbors from the porch, just the golf course!!!
Here are a list of things to consider.
1. At some point, no matter where, you will get a broken window. Might be 1 every 10 years, but it will happen. Get over yourself, its a freaking window!!!!
2. You do not want to be on a tee box. This puts carts in your backyard, all day long! If you want people staring at you all the time, then have at it. I would rate this is a no go. {given the cart path is behind your house, can work if the distance and angles don't put the golfers in your back yard...
3. #1, you cannot under any circumstances be 200 to 280 off the right side of a tee box. You will end up covering your entire back yard with a net. Look next time you play at the houses in the 235 range off the tee box...
4. Find a house by a green or on a par 5 somewhere preferably on the left side.
5. Find a house on the front 9. Earlier the better. That way in the evenings, there is no one finishing up thru dark. Hole 1 or 2 is even better!
6. It is a golf cource, its is not your land. You don't own it. Its not for your dog to run on, nor your personal space to play on.
7. Having said above most courses that don't have a stick up there *** will tolerate a walk or a little infringement if you don't abuse it.
The biggest thing the course brings is the neighborhood. It usually brings it together, closes it up. As just 1 or 2 ways in or out. Puts a little buffer between you and the rest of the bad world out there. Usually kept up, and people are out doors. Gives a much more open air feel vs. 4000 track houses!
Absolutely love it! We are actually on the first hole about 300 off the tee box. I get just enough pro v1's that just barely leak into our back yard on a slow roll thru the fence to keep me happy. The view is just greatness. I will hit 4 or 5 balls every once in a while back to the range. Its about 185 from my back yard. Also remember rainy days, winter, and cold, nobody plays! No wood fence to stare at, no stupid neighbors, I would work hard to do it!!!
Agree. On the 16th green. Almost no point in reloading for a par 4 and a par 3 remaining.
