From a golf course transforming into a wild zoo to deadly animals crashing tournaments. Come on, push it back to the hole. Oh my, look at that. Trying to get the alligator out of the way. These are the 10 most terrifying animal encounters caught on the golf course. Number 10, entire zoo on the golf course. Imagine yourself at the Skakuza Golf Club in South Africa, enjoying one of the most peaceful evenings of your life while overlooking the 18th green from a patio. At that very moment, nature just starts to show you the wilderness at its peak, just like what happened with these people on the night of August 12th, 2024. In the video, two massive lionesses make a dramatic entrance by taking down an impala right on the final green. Now, as they were feasting on their freshly caught prey, another group of four hyenas stepped onto the fairway. They circled around the lionesses, looking for the opportunity to snatch their meal away. But that was just the beginning of this wild show as another creature decided to make an entrance. A massive 12-oot crocodile emerged from the nearby river. The lionesses could have handled the hyenas on their own, but now that’s a crocodile. They just decided not to mess with it and quickly abandoned their meal. Now all that was left was a massive chunk of meat from the impala, which the crocodile wasted no time in enjoying its unexpected dinner. If you think this was scary, wait till you see the next one. Number nine, rabbit bobcat attacked golfer. On the morning of April 18, 2019, a golfer was attacked by a rabbit bobcat at the Magan Sun Golf Course in Baltic, Connecticut. But he wasn’t the first victim. On the same day, around 8:00 a.m., the same bobcat attacked a poor horse. The cat was so aggressive that it caused severe injuries to the horse, resulting in her neck and eye requiring 14 stitches. Thankfully, before it could pose further harm to her, the horse’s owner quickly jumped in and scared the bobcat away by throwing a shovel at it. He also called 911 so this mad animal could be stopped. But the worst case scenario occurred only half an hour later when the bobcat lunged at a group of golfers on the seventh hole, targeting a man in his 60s. It jumped at the golfer from the back and started biting and clawing him, causing very severe injuries, including deep puncture wounds on his arm and shoulder. His fellow golfers fought off the animal using their clubs, eventually forcing it to flee. The golfer was then rushed to the hospital where he spent a whopping 9 hours receiving treatment and even got a rabies vaccination. Thankfully, the wildlife authorities tracked down the bobcat near the course and neutralized it for good. The tests even confirmed that it was in fact carrying the rabies virus. Now, that could have ended way worse if the bobcat had been left loose. But still, what I’m about to show you next might shock you even more. Number eight, kangaroo mob at fairway. Now, this is one of those moments when you can say only in Australia. Just look at this female golfer. She has an entire audience gathered out of nowhere to watch her make a T-OT. This magnificent incident occurred at Arundel Hills Country Club, Queensland, when a mom of kangaroos took over the entire fairway and ran around everywhere disrupting everyone. But in my opinion, this is no distraction, but rather a beautiful moment that everyone should cherish, just like this lady who can’t do anything but smile in utter surprise. Talking about unexpected guests, watch this next one. Number seven, iguana tries eating the ball. During the final round of the 2014 Puerto Rico Open, something truly and by far the most entertaining thing occurred during that tournament. It happened when golfer Andrew Loop was preparing to make a putt on the 16th hole when out of nowhere, an iguana decided to come up to the fairway and approach his ball. The iguana then made a bold move by lunging onto Loop’s golf ball, seemingly trying to eat it. After a few failed attempts to consume the ball, the iguana finally decided to escape the scene. So, it ran back to the bushes in a very comical way, amusing everyone at the golf course. Number six, alligators versus golfers. In this video from the Zurich Classic, the camera captures the sight of several alligators making their way onto the fairway, disrupting the ongoing tournament. At one moment, an alligator comes face to face with a golfer on a golf cart, but thankfully instead of attacking the golf cart, it just decides to go past it. In another video from the opening round of the 2012 RBC Heritage, but thanks to the Caddy, it decided to get back where it came from.

Back in 2015 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the golfers found themselves in a tricky situation. Somehow, a native black snake made its way into the middle of the fairway. The snake casually sits on the fairway while a course official in his golf cart tries to scare it away, but the snake just doesn’t want to budge. Well, in the end, the snake wins this standoff, and all everyone can do is laugh and wait for it to go away on its own. Number four, golfers stop playing to see elephants. The 2022 Alfred Dunnhill Championship held at Leopard Creek Country Club was a truly wholesome tournament. The golfers stopped playing and took a moment to witness the inspiring sight of a herd of elephants that appear in the other side of the Crocodile River. They calmly gathered there to quench their thirst, and their captivating sight didn’t go unnoticed by the golfers. Elephants are gentle animals, but can we say the same for these next ones? Number three, bears on the fairway. Back in 2024, an unexpected family stole the spotlight from all the golfers on the fairway. It happened during the American Century Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe when a mama bear and her two babies got on the green and made their way across the fairway. Everyone around was so excited to see them that they even ran to get a good angle on the bear family. Thankfully, no one was allowed to approach the bears and maintain a safe distance. Otherwise, it could have been a gruesome disaster. Well, that was wholesome, but I can’t say the same for this next video. Number two, Hornets attack Pablo Larazzal. Pablo La Razabal at the 2014 Malaysian Open in Koala Lumpur Golf and Country Club was playing a normal golf tournament until everything turned into a nightmare. On the 14th hole, he was suddenly attacked by a swarm of around 30 to 40 hornets. Pablo ran around and tried his best to fend off these deadly bees, but he still got stung 20 times straight. The pain must have been unbearable, and it could have been much worse or deadly, unless he hadn’t pulled out that genius move by jumping into a nearby water hazard. Thankfully, after submerging himself into the water, the bees finally left him alone. Despite the unexpected disaster, he resumed the tournament after receiving appropriate medical treatment and played the rest of the game in wet clothes. Now, that was interesting, right? Number one, seagull steals golf ball. The second not because of some ace or something, but rather because of a seagull. Yes, this seagull, which appeared on the iconic par 317th hole when Brad Fable had just landed his T-shot on the green. The seagull initially lurked near the ball, probably thought it was food, which is why it decided to steal it. That was left speechless, trying to process what had just happened. Thankfully, Brad was allowed to replace his ball back as close as possible to its original spot without penalty. Nobody’s ever going to forget this day, especially those who watched it live at the
