Question

Why are homes on the golf course required to have iron/metal fences?

Answer 1

I live along a golf course and I'm not required to have a fence. The requirement is most likely a deed restriction of the particular community, and for aesthetic reasons the community chose iron/metal fences. I've also seen white picket fences along golf course homes.

Answer 2

Because it looks tacky when a golf course is lined with wood fences.

Answer 3

To stop golfers trespassing when retrieving errant balls.

Answer 4

deed restrictions

Answer 5

Because otherwise they would be requiring to change their window so often. The golf balls can go anywhere especially with high handicap players.

Answer 6

If any of the homes on golf courses have fences, they are put up by the owners and not a requirement.

Answer 7

Don't know where you are, but here in the Midwest US we have a lot of courses where there is no fence at all between the golf course and the backyards.
