Who
pays for injury, property damage, broken windows on a golf course? Following
other districts and the City of
Aurora
golf policies; neither The Golf Club at Heather Ridge nor the HRMD are
responsible for any damage from an erroneous golf ball. It is the
golfer’s responsibility to pay any damages. If the golfer is
unknown, the repairs are the responsibility of the homeowner.
From: http://www.golfrewind.com/general-golf-discussion/18518-who-pays-broken-windows-4.html
.
. . a quick google
search came up with these. Arizona
Hawaii
& Mass..
The general consensus . . . is that "the
majority of U.S. courts have ruled against homeowners, some stating
homeowners "assume the risk" of potential injury or property
damage by choosing to live next to a course" that is, the
homeowners willingly accepted the risk when they moved close to the
"nuisance", i.e.; line of fire. It may be a different situation
when the existence of the homes pre-dates the golfcourse . . .
