The aircraft slid along the grass and came to rest at the wall of the pro shop.
The emergency landing took place at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex in Sacramento, California, US, yesterday (4 Aug).
Fire Department spokesperson Justin Sylvia said the pilot experienced engine failure shortly after takeoff from Sacramento McClellan Airport.
The technical problem occurred at around 400 feet, but the pilot was unable to return to the airport.
Sylvia said he decided to land near the putting green instead.
He stated: “He laid it down on part of a fairway.
“It skipped across the putting green and made very minor contact with the building.”
Fire teams were dispatched to the area just after 1pm.
Sylvia said the pilot walked away from the crashed plane with only minor injuries.
He explained: “There were some paint marks on the building and the pilot only had a scratch to his hand.”
Golfer Justin Owens was chipping on the practice green when the plane crashed on the course, as reported by Need To Know.
He said: “It really happened so fast that I didn’t have much time to react.
“It wasn’t in line to hit me so I didn’t move or anything like that, it was just happening in slow motion.”
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the cause of the crash.
