The small plane was seen coming in to land on a fairway at the course which is located in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood in California.
Three people were on board at the time as the pilot tried to land on the iconic course.
The first attempt to touch down saw the plane come in at a high speed before completely aborting the landing.
Its wheels were just inches off the ground when the pilot veered up and continued to soar ahead.
As the aircraft continued to encroach on the golf course the person filming quickly noticed it was now heading towards the green where a group of players were standing.
In a frantic rush to avoid being hit, the camera operator jumped out of the way as the plane barrelled in just a few dozen feet away from them.
The pilot was forced to touch the grass once again as the plane bounced off the top of a mound next to a bunker.
It then crashed into the pavement which separated the course from the clubhouse.
The huge impact left debris flying across the fairway.
The pilot continued to wrestle with the out of control aircraft as it bounced several more times across the pristine course.
ROUGH LANDING
It was finally grounded as the plane skidded across the course and rounded another mound before it came to a stop next to a tee box.
A team of golfers were seen watching on in shock as they went to check on the passengers.
First responders rushed to golf course to check on those on board just after 1pm local time, according to CBS.
No one was injured, the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed.
It is unclear exactly where the plane was scheduled to land but officials confirmed it had been diverted from Santa Monica Airport earlier in the day.
This isn't the first time a round of golf has been disrupted by an incoming plane.
Last August, footage captured the moment a plane narrowly misses a golfer who lining up to take his tee shot.
A plane dramatically plummets past him and slams into a nearby shop.
Plumes of smoke could be seen billowing from the small blue and white Piper PA28 plane as the traumatised golfer watches on in horror.
Back in January 2024, a plane crash at a golf course resulted in two men being killed who were on board.

CBS stalwart reveals 'the truth' about edited Kamala Harris interview that Trump is suing the network over
Veteran CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl has lashed out in 'anger' at her corporate overloads potentially settling Donald Trump 's $20 billion lawsuit, arguing edits of Kamala Harris' 'word salad' were done to save time rather than deceive its audience. Speaking candidly on The New Yorker Radio Hour, Stahl, 83, addressed the controversy over an October 2024 60 Minutes segment featuring Kamala Harris, 60, which Trump alleges was edited to make the then-Vice President appear more coherent and electable. Trump, 78, sued CBS - the parent company of '60 minutes' - just days before the 2024 presidential election for $20 billion. He and his lawyers claim that the show edited an interview with Harris in a way that hurt his 2024 campaign. However, according to Stahl, the editing choices stemmed not from political bias but from routine time constraints. 'There was a very long answer,' Stahl explained. '"60 Minutes" ran one part of the answer in Bill [Whitaker]'s piece, and "Face the Nation" chose another part of the same answer to run on theirs. We are under time constraints, and this was done for time. 'We edit to keep our pieces down to a certain length. And this is what Mr. Trump sued over,' the former Face the Nation anchor continued. Stahl's comments directly dispute Trump's accusation that CBS engaged in deceptive editing to aid Harris's public image during a critical election period. 'What he said was that you made clear what had actually been a word salad,' New Yorker journalist, David Remnick, who conducted Stahl's interview recounted, summarizing Trump's claim. 'In other words, what he was accusing '60 Minutes' of doing was trying to make Kamala Harris look better,' Remnick added. But, the seasoned journalist emphasized that both programs - 60 Minutes and Face the Nation - merely used different portions of the same answer to accommodate their differing formats. 'That what we did. We just ran two different halves of the same answer,' she affirmed. At the heart of the legal dispute is Trump's assertion that CBS's editorial decisions were politically motivated. However, Stahl views the lawsuit as little more than a pressure tactic. 'What is really behind it, in a nutshell, is [an effort] to chill us,' she said. 'There aren't any damages. He accused us of editing Kamala Harris in a way to help her win the election. But he won the election.' Despite the lawsuit's seemingly flimsy legal foundation - Stahl flatly called it 'a frivolous lawsuit' - CBS is reportedly engaged in settlement negotiations. Shari Redstone, chair of Paramount Global and a key decision-maker in the network's corporate hierarchy, is said to be open to compromise, according to the New Yorker. Instead of fighting the lawsuit, Redstone wants to settle to stay on good terms with the President while waiting for FCC approval of a major deal. On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Paramount offered Trump $15 million to settle, but his team rejected it, demanding at least $25 million and a formal apology. But, Redstone's openness to settling has since raised eyebrows within the newsroom, even as Stahl downplays internal discord. 'They're in negotiations to settle this lawsuit. Shari Redstone seems willing to compromise. I have to think that the newsroom at '60 Minutes' must be in incredible turmoil,' Remnick probed. 'Turmoil is too strong a word,' Stahl replied sternly. 'That suggests we almost couldn't function, but that's not true.' Still, the situation has stirred unease among some staffers, particularly with Bill Owens, the former executive producer of 60 Minutes, who has since left the outlet. Stahl explained that her former 'hero' ditched the outlet after 37 years because 'he was being asked to either not run pieces or to change parts of the stories.' A CBS spokesperson told the New Yorker that no stories have been blocked by Paramount or CBS management. Stahl has since expressed 'anger' at her corporate overlords. 'To have a news organization come under corporate pressure - to have a news organization told by a corporation, "Do this, do that" with your story, "change this, change that," "don't run that piece" - I mean, it steps on the First Amendment, it steps on the freedom of the press. 'It steps on what we stand for. It makes me question whether any corporation should own a news operation. It is very disconcerting. As I said, we have had pressure before, in earlier owners. And yet...' However, the CBS correspondent stood firm in her journalistic duty to the people, telling the New Yorker she hopes her higher-ups 'hold the freedom of the press up as a beacon.' 'I'm just, frankly, and this is being a little Pollyannaish, hoping that [Larry's son] David Ellison and the people he brings in to run his organization hold the freedom of the press up as a beacon, that they understand the importance of allowing us to be independent and do our jobs.' 'That would be the best outcome,' she added.

"And he and I were just never able to make that work." Director Zemeckis claimed Stoltz would insist on being called his character's name, Marty, rather than his own." Zemeckis claimed: "We almost always called him Marty. We thought it was silly, but we figured if it helped him do his job, it was harmless.
