is it a good idea to buy a house on a golf course?

Answer 1

not unless you like repairing broken windows

Answer 2

Actually I think it is a very good idea to buy a house on a golf course...FREE GOLF!! and I know someone who lives on a golf course and what they have in their backyard is an almost invisible screen that they put up so people couldn't hit their house as easily...and now there are a lot of golf courses that have subdivisions built around them and the houses are close to the course but not close enough to get hit...so ya its a pretty good idea to buy a house on a golf course and it does cost a lot but its a good investment if you like to golf a lot then you don't have to spend the money to go golfing all the time...have fun! and good luck on your decision

Answer 3

I'd take into consideration on where it is on the golf course, if it's behind a tee, or a place where it's very rare to be hit by a ball, go for it. However, I have some friends who live on a golf course and they're thinking of moving because they've had 2 broken windows and many golf balls in their backyard. And they've not lived there for long. But if your in a good position and like the views, go for it!

Answer 4

A house with a golf course view would be nice. A house ON a golf course might be a problem.

Answer 5

Yes, only if you like golf. If golf is a living, most definatly yes. If you have another job, then yes, only if u can get to work fast enough. Try to get a house on a private gold course, not public. If it is a public golf course then no because the balls can come shooting at your windows, and it would be easy for someone to break in. I would, only if it was private, a decent house, and a pool. lol hope i get this best answer..i am in need for 10 pts.

Answer 6

No way, a house near a golf course wouldn't be bad, but I wouldn't want to have to duck balls as I was grilling in my backyard.

If you like to golf, then sure, but otherwise, I wouldnt. If your windows don't get broke, your car will get dented, and so might your wifes head if she's out tanning in the backyard.

Golf courses should have to put up nets like 20 feet tall all around their courses, but those are expensive, so they won't do that. Any measure to keep people playing for free, but they won't pay to protect their neighbors.

Answer 7

Depends if it is a public place or property..if it is your own house on a golf course for only you and your friends then it would be a great idea if you like golf. remember to make room to make one in the hole!! But if it is at a public place, i wouldn't recommend it because they could purposely hit your windows or make a racket outside. good luck, and i hope this helps!!

Answer 8

It's fine. i live on a golf course. You get lots of free balls and a pretty scene to look at. Also you can practice your game at night. just make sure there are bigger trees around to protect your windows. before the trees grew at my house we had a broken window. but that only happened once out of the 10+ years we lived there.

Also it adds value to the house. I think our house can go for more then tripple what we bought it for.

Answer 9

I like it. And when I got my house appraised the guy actually took a picture of the golf course view because it adds to the value.

Answer 10

It probably adds to the property value but there is always the risk of a golf ball through the window or loud country club functions. There's also the risk of above average traffic in the neighborhood so I guess it's a yes and no thing.

Answer 11

I live in an apt on a golf course and golf balls break our windows, but its got a nice view!!
