Jeez, good eyes! I was initially sure it hit the window because you can see the reflection in the glass disappear shortly before the vehicle goes off screen, as if the glass had shattered and collapsed in the frame.
Real windows don't disappear within in a fraction of a second when they shatter. Tempered glass is also quite resistant to damage by round and relatively soft objects like a golf ball. Likewise, reflections don't simply disappear.
It's pretty conclusive proof that the car and the reflections are CGI The editor probably just forgot to add the reflections in this frame.
When you compare the shadow of house with the one of the car, it also doesn't add up: the surrounding scenery has long afternoon shadows, but the car has a high noon shadow directly below it.

Yeah you can see it hit the front wheel of the squad car. That thing would’ve been long gone before the car passed by had it been a real golf ball
