What can our homeowners association do about our neighboring golf course’s failure to maintain its grounds?

There may be zoning requirements that they’re violating, or in an extreme case a lack of maintenance may amount to a trespass or nuisance, but in our experience it’s best to work things out with neighbors by agreement if at all possible.
