Golf Cart Plunges Off Cliff Into Lake at Tiger Woods-Designed Payne’s Valley 19th Hole

Summary

  • A golf cart ended up fully submerged in Lunker Lake at Payne’s Valley near Branson, Missouri, after two golfers jumped a stone curb and went over a rocky cliff by the 19th hole.
  • Witness videos show the aftermath rather than the launch itself, including someone in the water retrieving items from the cart and belongings scattered on rocks below the drop.
  • The footage was posted only a few days ago, but the report says it is unclear exactly when the crash happened or whether it was tied to Fourth of July weekend activity.
  • An opening in the fence beside the curb appears to mark where the cart went over, and the report said alcohol may have been a factor, though that was not confirmed.
