It’s been a fun couple days in golf for April Fools Day content, but we’re happy to get to back to our bread and butter. You know, something much, much more important. Of course, we’re talking about viral videos of wildlife on the golf course.
Specifically, viral videos of alligators on the golf course. There have been no shortage of them through the years, but we’ve come across a particularly impressive one. Or terrifying one. It all depends on your perspective.
Anyway, this bad boy was hanging out at Kiawah’s famed Ocean Course. And he/she is an absolute UNIT. See for yourself:
Insane crocodile at the Kiawah Ocean Course! Props to the cameraman for getting close.
For a $600 green fee, you not only get to shoot a 103, but you get to meet this specimen!
My buddy sent me this. They literally walked right by him and then he crossed over the tee box… pic.twitter.com/YDaCAcQ63k

Good lord. The Ocean Course can now say it’s hosted two majors, a Ryder Cup and a freaking dinosaur. Seriously, what a monster.
Thanks to Rick for sharing. Although, he was corrected on the reptile being a croc. Not by us, but by others who actually know something about science.
Anyway, if you happen to be in the US at present and playing the Ocean Course, keep your eyes peeled. And maybe don’t bother looking for any golf balls off the fairways.
