And listen to the builder when they tell you NOT to select the cheapest windows and screens for windows facing the course.
why have common sense when you can hire a lawyer to sue the golf course?
Is this someone who doesn't understand what happens on a golf course?
Yeah… this is easily countered with “don’t buy a house on a golf course”.
This is the exact kind of person who buys a house near an airport because it was cheap, then complains endlessly to restrict airport operations because of the noise.
We used to have a small, locally owned amusement park.
This exact thing happened. The little bungalow homes in the neighborhood around it became trendy. People moved in, complained about the noise from the park's main attraction, a classic wooden rollercoaster that had been an area landmark for DECADES, and badgered the city council about it until they limited the place's operating hours and it went out of business.
I still get absolutely livid if I talk about it for too long.
EDIT: Not the City Council, as it turns out, but the organization that runs the local fairgrounds, which the park leased land from.
What the fuck‽
People are dicks sometimes.
Oakwood?
Tulsa. Bell's Amusement Park.
Ah nvm
As the real estate agent said, Location Location Location, and we're right next to the airport! It will be very convenient if we have to fly one day.

No sympathy for idiots that have houses on golf courses.
Depends on which was first, right?
Wow. This changed my point of view quick. Could you imagine building your dream house and then some rich idiot developer (like Trump) puts a golf course next door. That would suck.
There's a lot of shitting on this person but has anyone considered that maybe the golf course came LATER?
Yeah, or why the course doesn't install nets
It's a shitpost. I say: shit away!
Isn't that an Enya song?
Yes, I believe she wrote it for a fiber supplement commercial or yogurt or something.
I can't imagine the zoning bullshit that would have happened in that scenario. You can't put a golf course anywhere on any patch of ground. That's why there are course architects.

Just abolish golf entirely, multiple problems would be solved at once
I recall a story where there was a water restriction on a town for everyone, except for the golf courses. The next day, the golfers found that the Holes had been filled with cement, supposedly poured in there by activists.
Not a big deal. They move the holes every week to keep the wear on the green even. There is a hand tool that cuts the hole and you drop the plug in the old one. The cup is just a plastic sleeve. It takes less than 10 minutes a hole.
my local subreddit once had a golf war thread. the golfers were adamant about how accessible their sport was and how amazing for the environment it was.
"amazing for the environment"
do you know their arguement for this i would like to know
Probably because fields of grass are better than housing development? Which for the environment, is technically true
I have a neighbor who thinks a golf course is better than a park. I just want to shake folks sometimes. How is a hellscape of a solitary grass better than a place where you could get all sorts of plants going? One with hiking paths for everyone, and all sorts of goodies like gazebos, meadows, benches...
oh basically just that it's curated green space and that's better because it's not a parking lot or strip mall or etc.
That's almost worth comparing, if the resources and human effort needed to maintain a golf course, plus any other positive or negative environmental impacts, are favorable to the effects of a parking lot or whatever. But I imagine that, either way, a proper public park would be way better.
I mean it's like anything, you can argue either way. Depending on how the grounds are kept it could be a net positive or a negative. But a lot of golf courses are massive polluter because they use resource-intensive grasses and lots of fertilizers and water to keep it alive. There are more eco-friendly ways to manage a golf course but those are not popular because they cost more and golfers don't like scrub grasses
The kind sign we put up when we fail to consider possible consequences of our decisions and blame others for our failure.
So why is a course lined with people's homes?
Old people who don't go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.
Maybe people are just playing golf on city streets now 🤷♂️

That’s rough
We can only hope that the situation remains in the green.
That is not a fairway to think about it.
This comment chain is a real hole in one.
Some of the comments make more sand trap than others.
Why are you trying to drive a wedge between... these... putters? (Clearly I'm not a golfer)
I used to do utility locates around a couple of golf courses that were surrounded by homes. The homes and the golf course were made at more or less the same time. For the most part they were set up so that balls were not flying toward houses.
I once had to mark some lines that were ON the golf course, and a couple of idiots were saying they would hit a ball at me since I was marking the grass. I told them the first time a ball flies near me I'm coming back with a dirt bike.
This is like buying a house next to a farm then complaining about the animals. The golf course was there when you moved in, the fuck did you expect.
Fuck golf. So damn stupid.
Free golf balls!
Dont build your house on a golf course idiot.
Sounds like an analogy for drunk driving.
If you can't put up a net to protect people's homes, I can't stop myself from shitting in the holes.
