I've lived on a golf course (Valley Ridge) for a few years now. I am about 100 yards out on the left side, so it would take a pretty good snap hook from a right handed player to get me, or a slice from a lefty. I've found one ball each year on average, so it happens, but not as frequently as I was expecting, and it's never actually hit the house as far as I can tell. It's been a non issue for me, and my kids regularly play in the backyard. Sometimes after the last golfers go by, my kids and others on the block will run out on the course and play, and it's great having open space behind us. In the winter my kids are out playing in the huge open space making snowmen, forts, etc... Lots of people going by on cross country skiis as well. I really enjoy it.
