The Greenskeeper at Skukuza Golf Club in Kruger National Park, South Africa captured video of a pride of lions roaming around the course. Lions are nocturnal and typically do not interrupt play, but the club’s website issues a warning. “Since the course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight, hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few.”
Skukuza Golf Club in Kruger National Park, South Africa shared footage showing a pride of lions inspecting the layout before players arrived for their scheduled tee times, For the Win reported. The Facebook post “Exploring Lions” stated to followers:
“Imagine starting your morning round with this waiting for you at the third hole. Our greenkeeper captured this pride of lions roaming around last week.”
Skukuza Golf Club is billed as “the wildest course in the world,” For the Win reported.
Lions are nocturnal and typically do not interrupt play. But that’s not to say that large and potentially dangerous animals do not present hazards during the day, For the Win reported.
Skukuza states on its website: “Since the course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight, hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few.”
The nine-hole (18-tee) course, which advertises a “harmonious close-to-nature golfing experience,” celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, For the Win reported.
