Golf courses traditionally feature numerous hazards -- thick rough, sand traps, ponds and creeks.

Wildlife is usually not 'par for the course.'

Golfers at Two Eagles Golf Golf Course on the Westside got a glimpse of an unannounced hazard Wednesday morning.

Officials at the course say a baby grizzly bear was spotted on the ninth hole before it took off.

It wasn't witnessed on the course again.

Conservation officers were contacted.

The bear was also spotted by some residents living in the area apartments next to the golf course.

It was seen roaming around the parking lot before finally leaving the area.
