Hi K.J.
There is always a certain amount of risk with most things, but I feel Roda do have a duty to protect people from injury where they can, more so when it is constant and so dangerous. Seven golf balls hitting our property / garden / pool in the last few months is extremely worrying, especially as we have young children staying there next month as well.
Roda have said they will speak to the golf course to see if a tall net can be erected, but I will have to put it up and pay for it myself ! Surely that can't be right, I am not the one causing the problem ? All I am asking is that they are fair and reasonable, considering the extreme danger and to help do something before someone is seriously hurt.
We enjoy staying at Roda (apart from wayward golf balls and the lack of people shouting "Four") and the lack of hotel, shops, bars etc on the actual site is most dissapointing (as they were one of the reasons we purchased the property). However, fortunately for people staying at Roda, there are lots of restaurants, bars etc off site, within a short distance (ie the square in Los Alcazares), which help ease the dissapointment and not having visited Covera, I am not sure if the same would apply.
Even so, one would hope that once the economy picks up in Spain, then so too will investors and developers, which in turn will encourage lenders to support such schemes again. Hope this helps.
Regards
Les
