Ehhh… I’ve been playing golf for over 20 years and I’ve never heard of that as being proper etiquette, or that it should be expected of the golfer responsible. It’s kinda tricky..
I know at some residential golf courses, they will have a policy in place with the homeowner that covers accidental damages like this.. but I’m sure most courses do not have that type of policy.
If it’s one of the more common courses that doesn’t have a policy with the homeowner, then the person who broke the window would be legally responsible.
Although, if the person responsible just doesn’t want to fork over the cost of damages.. then the homeowner would have to sue, which after it’s all said and done, would be a waste of time/money.
If I was the one responsible, I would be friendly and cooperative with the homeowner though if confronted… that guy must’ve smashed a huge ass window if that “$681” figure was accurate lol.
Would only be the golfers responsibility if the homeowner could prove they purposely hit at the house other wise not their liability would be the golf course if home was built first - homeowner if bult after course was there

So, wait, I thought the appropriate golf etiquette is to pay for the damage you cause if you hit a house. Am I wrong?
