I can never get myself oriented exactly right to know where I'll see them. But, it is possible and you've got some suggestions to start with. Sometimes you will see them from the "front" of your building but not from the balcony on the back. Also keep in mind that the hils of the golf course sometimes block a view but if you just move a little to the right or left you'll catch them. Of course, these aren't close-up views of the fireworks but they can be seen.
