* The ex-president in ''Film/WelcomeToMooseport'' wins his golf games through cheating, though he doesn't know it--whenever one of his shots goes into the woods to the side of the course, the Secret Service agents hiding there throw it back onto the green, and he thinks he's just lucky. [[spoiler:He challenges the other protagonist to a game of golf, but his ex-wife forces the agents out of hiding, and he discovers that without their help he's completely outmatched.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' Golf, unsurprisingly, culminates in him trying to win a golf game against Chris. The game ends with Dan winning because the course was filled with birdseed, everyone was attacked by birds, and one carried Chris' ball away. Err...[[MakesSenseInContext That doesn't make much sense, does it...?]]

* In a brief scene in one of the ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' movies, Goten is hit by a golf ball while retrieving a Dragon Ball from a golf course. Angry about the hit, he proceeds to take revenge by hiding the ball in a nearby hole... cut to the old man who was playing being completely elated at getting his first hole-in-one.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'': Happens in the episode "The Golf Champion". At the 18th hole, Fred Flintstone begins by ricocheting the golf ball off several trees and rocks and into a water hazard, atop a dinosaur's head. The second shot overshoots the hole and rolls into the mouth of a sleeping dinosaur. Flintstone goes inside the dinosaur's mouth to finally shoot the ball in the hole, and win the tournament.

* ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie'' had a golf game where the ball did lots of bizarre and improbable things, but that was because of Jeannie's magic.

* ''VideoGame/GolfWithYourFriends'' makes it on this list if only because of its [[YouKeepUsingThatWord rather loose definition]] of the word "ball", which includes but not limited to polyhedrons, eggs, cones, ''cubes'', and hockey pucks (which are much easier to hit than the rest!). Though the game is based on mini golf, many of the levels have structures and hazards that would be difficult or impossible to feature in a real course, such as moving platforms, jungle bridges, and portals.

* Jesus and Saint Peter are playing gold in Heaven. Jesus swings, the ball goes wayo to the left, bounces off a tree and into a bird's nest, causing the panicking bird to fly around and drop the ball into the hole. Saint Peter then says "Lord, are we here to play golf or screw around?".

* An Franchise/ArchieComics story has the guys turning the entire town of Riverdale into a huge Golf Course, setting various landmarks as their holes.

* ''What the Golf'' sets out to be this, especially in the levels where your goal is not to get the golf ball to the flag, but the club, or even the arrow that shows you the direction and strength of your shot. Also, the flags will move away from your ball sometimes.

* ''Golf With Friends'' and makes it on this list if only because of its [[YouKeepUsingThatWord rather loose definition]] of the word "ball" which includes but not limited to polyhedrons, eggs, cones, ''cubes'', and hockey pucks (which are much easier to hit than the rest!).

* The ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' episode "Way Below Par", since [[TheCaligula Lucius]] is cheating and [[MadScientist Heloise]] is making Jimmy cheat.

** For added [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], he damn near scores a Hole-in-one, which prompts his Commanding Officer to chime in on the shot.

* Pretty much any time the sport appeared on ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', it was like this.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' short "Tee for Two" turns into this.

* The ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Put that Putter Away" is a perfect example of this.

* Then there's the story of the golfer whose shot [[http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/devil_ball_golf/post/Golfer-s-swing-sparks-25-acre-California-blaze?urn=golf-266447 started a wildfire]].

* Rory McIlroy had a shot [[http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/rory-mcilroy-makes-par-tour-championship-after-drive-lands-spectators-pocket bounce off a tree and land in a spectator's pocket]]. Play it where it lies?
* There is a golf course that [[http://www.nationalgeographic.com.au/animals/australias-shark-infested-golf-course.aspx has sharks]]. [[UsefulNotes/AustralianWildlife It is, naturally, located in Australia.]]

* ''Wonderputt'' has a [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/dampgnat/wonderputt similarly bizarre setting]], with the courses laid out by meteorites, snowclouds, [[AliensStealCattle cows being abducted by a flying saucer]], a submarine stuck in ice and so forth.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' featured this on the eighteenth hole of a round of golf designed to settle a fender-bender between Grandpa Phil and Big Bob Pataki. Phil is forced to play a ball from a diner's quiche, and Arnold needs to make up a rhyme so that he can hit it. Found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHC4wy1BhB0&feature=related here]].

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''.

* An inverted second type happened on ''{{Entourage}}'' when Ari played a round of golf against a studio head, wagering Vince's role in one of the studio's movies. The exec was coached by Phil Mickelson and it looked like Ari had no chance of winning. It all came down to the final putt which Ari missed. The miracle came when the exec began yelling at Ari, had a heart attack, and dropped dead. A stroke of luck, indeed.
