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.
I miss Valley Ridge, we lived on Valley Stream Cir before they built so far West. Nice little hike to the ridge over looking the dam, nice access to the bike paths heading to Bowness. But back to the topic my father in law lived on the High River golf course for 5 years and only one broken window and he is at the end of a drive on a RH slice. Sitting on his deck watching golf was very relaxing so I say go for it just be picky about the placement.
