No. 1 at Skukuza Golf Course. It’s inside the Kruger National Park in South Africa. I teed off in front of a pond, where deep, gutteral noises emanated from. Turns out they were hippos. I learned later a woman had been killed by them a week earlier.

Lions have been known to walk across the course, as well as zebras, leopards and elephants. I personally witnesses a small group of warthogs grazing in the fairways.

A sign at the entrance says “Beware: WIld ANimals. Play at Your Own Risk!” You have to sign a waiver before they let you tee off.

Great time!

The 4th image and 10th image on this funny golf page are pretty crazy. I've never played them of course and the 4th one is definitely photoshopped but still good holes.

There is a course in San Diego, CA called Salt Creek (used to be called the Auld Course) that had a very unusual par 5. The first time I played it the yardage book said 305 yds to the creek. I’m not a big hitter, so I took out my driver and gave it a whack. The fairway dips down a little bit so you can’t see your ball. Never found it, so I assumed it rolled into the creek. No big deal. Played it again a little while later, and trying to play smart I took my 3-iron and just tried to pop it out there nowhere near the creek. Well, the fairways are fast and downhill and my ball took a hard bounce and rolled right into the creek, 305 yds. away!!! Now, I’m all for golf courses where you need to think your way around the course, but that hole was ridiculous. I think the last time I played it, I hit 5 iron, 3 wood, PW. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the course.
