As alluded to in previous posts - you do not own a view and all though its unfortunate it makes sense. The golf course owners in this case is entitled to enclose their grounds. Your best option is to discuss this with them and see if they would be willing to keep them at a certain height? Maybe if you agreed to contribute towards some of the costs, they may be ammenable.
Surely if the house was there prior to the trees and the light within the house is being infringed upon, then the OP is entitled to the light that was there prior to the trees, and especially he has made his views known.
Yes, you shopuld approach the golf course and offer to pay for the topping of the trees. They may have a valid reason for refusing etc, but if they are unwilling to help at all, I'm sure you can invite your local press out for a nice photo and story. Also lobby the golf club members etc. I am lucky to have a very nice view of the wicklow mountains and was the reason we bought the site so i sympathise with your plight.
There may be a compremise where you can trim back some branches, remove some tree etc - but i would suspect they will want you to pay for it.
Also, talk to the club president face to face and not the front desk
Cutting down the tree without permission would be criminal damage, so avoid that at all costs.
We have discovered a map of the local area, made before our estate was built, which has 'Listed Views' marked on it opposite part of the golf course to the left of our estate.
Our next move is to approach the local planning office to see if they can tell us if these listed views have been/can be extended further along the coast and what exactly does 'Listed View' mean.
