Common interest developments (CIDs and HOAs) often exist in proximity to golf courses, but not always without issues with the owner-operator of those courses. As you can read in the following 'social current see', the issue usually has to do with maintenance of the course, but can deal with conflict over the mere presence of the course. Usually, because the course is owned and operated by an independent third party, the relationship with the HOA is only governed by the covenant (CC&R) that has been put in place and agreed to by both parties.

Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is the first installment of the Jurassic Park franchise. It is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, with a screenplay written by Crichton and David Koepp. The film centers on the fictional Isla Nublar, an islet located off Central America's Pacific Coast, near Costa Rica Nicaragua border, where a billionaire philanthropist and a small team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of cloned dinosaurs. So what does the Spielberg creation have to do with HOAs?  Probably not much except that roaming the confines of the latter are a variety of creatures who take special handling.

Back in August 2012, our first experience to attend an HOA open forum when the HOA legal counsel was invited to address homeowners for the Board did not go so well. That is, an attorney representing the long-time counsel for the HOA came to the meeting solely to help put disgruntled homeowners in this place after the board had made a controversial, unpopular decision. Essentially (I paraphrase), the attorney explained: "The HOA is not a democracy and there was nothing that homeowners could do to override the board decision." As it turns out, something was done about 18 months later when, after mediation, the decision was reversed and homeowner democracy prevailed. Another area in which democracy is prevalent in HOAs has to do with committee work. If these volunteer groups did not follow a democratic model, why would a homeowner volunteer for the role?
