Trees to stop golf balls from entering backyard

The trouble is that most trees take a long time to get to a suitable height. I wouldn't even 'think' about planting fast-growing ones like Leylandii - you'd be storing up trouble for later. My only practical idea is to erect trellis and grow climbers up it. Is that a helpful suggestion? It may not be high enough.

You might also want to talk to the golf club about the problem you are experiencing.

Yes, go and have a word with the club. The ones near here have large nets erected (as do the cricket fields near houses) which stops a lot of balls breaking windows.

Meant to say lovely house

how about making living bamboo bamboo hedge/fence and use a bamboo membane to stop it going wear you dont want . you buy a few plants ant split them an plant them in a line . this will grow reasnably quickly and you could get some grean mesh and hang it golfcourse side .

I would think the golf club has a duty of care to you and should erect nets to stop the golf balls. They could kill a person and certainly be very painful .

As others have said ,pay them a visit and see what their response is. If they don't stop the golf balls my next step would be to see a solicitor.

Thank you, everybody! The house isn't mine but is under consideration for purchase by a client of my husband's, and he solicited my help with any planting ideas for deterring the golf balls. I appreciate all of your suggestions very much and will look into each idea further.

Thanks a million!

I had that trouble from a playing field which has big notices up 'The playing of Golf is not allowed.'
So I picked up the Golf Balls and didnt throw them back!

Good idea Diane

I second that, Diane. Good idea. The current owner of the house has been doing just that. He has two 5 gallon buckets which he fills with balls that he collects. They are quite expensive!

The owner could always sell them back to the club
