A noisy showdown between lions, hyenas and a crocodile is hardly the sort of thing golfers expect to encounter on the links, but on the Skukuza Golf Course in the heart of South Africa's Kruger National Park, wild sightings are pretty much par for the course.

Footage captured on Monday night, August 12, by stunned onlookers dining at the Skukuza Golf Club’s restaurant shows a pair of lions tucking into a freshly caught impala on the final green of the course, a quartet of hyenas milling about on the fringes in the hopes of stealing some scraps. The sighting took a turn for the crazy when a not unsubstantial crocodile lumbered over to claim a piece of the prized carcass. In the footage, lions and hyenas can be seen scrambling off the green as the croc moves in to make quick work of what was left of the meal, in the foreground a perfectly placed sign reads "Only persons who have signed the activities indemnity form are allowed beyond this point" (no kidding).

Thankfully, the incident took place in the evening so no golfers were caught up in the fray. Constructed in the early 1970s as a recreational facility for camp staff, but later made accessible to all visitors to the Kruger Park, the Skukuza Golf Course is unfenced and it's not uncommon for uninvited spectators to stroll onto the fairways. In 2022, hyenas and lions were filmed fighting over a giraffe carcass on the third hole, while a leopard was spotted playing with a tee marker a year before that.

Even by Skukuza Golf Course standards, the latest incident was pretty wild, but for Jean Rossouw, the club’s greenskeeper, it's all part of the appeal. He posted a video following the most recent incident casually explaining how he intends on sorting out the mess left behind after the predatory scuffle:
