Damage in a car park

Do the owners of a private car park (e.g a golf club) have any liability to members or visitors for damage to cars where the third party does not report incident?

Much of the car park is screened by trees etc and there is no CCTV. Un-reported incidents average 4 times a year and increasing. I have suffered two in a fortnight and only the first culprit left detail.

No, especially not by golf balls because that is an obvious risk you take when you park your car in the car park of a golf course.
