My bro-in-law lives along what used to be one of the fairways of Shawnee Slopes golf course and his house was in a bad spot. He was about 250yds up the fairway along a par 4 and got on average about 15-20 golf balls a week into his backyard, even with a super high mesh fence and a row of trees between him and the fairway. He had to install a mesh deflector on the one end of his deck so they didn't have to worry about getting hit if they were sitting out there. His next door neighbors house had it worse as it was directly in the driving range of most people has dozens of holes in the stucco side of it from golf balls hitting the house.
If I was buying a house on a golf course I would definitely pay attention to where on the course it is and try not to be right in the landing zone distance for an average driver.
