Well, lions anyway.
21 Century Club Golf in Tomioka, Gunma-ken was featured on a recent episode of "Nanikore!" (unusual things around Japan) as they offer golfers the unique experience of playing under the hungry gaze of actual lions. The reason is the 9th hole runs adjacent to the Gunma Safari Park (which their website doesn't appear to make any mention of). While the lions are separated from the golfers by a pair of fences, the narration notes that several golfers have opted not to go after their errant balls.![]()
AWESOME! This has GOT to be booked as the next GG event Grant!
Shame it's just one hole that runs near the Safari park. Would've been cool if they had a lion hole, giraffe hole, rhino hole etc...![]()

The course is giving a discount for visitors to Gunma Safari Park to commemorate being taken up on TV.
Daddy goes golfing and the kids go to the park to watch daddy on the other side of the fence, stomping at his ill made putt. Good for the kid's education.
