A small private plane made a terrifying crash landing at the iconic Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles — and miraculously, no one on the aircraft or the golf course was harmed, shocking fairway footage shows.

The 1966 Cessna 172G Skyhawk pilot failed to navigate a landing at the nearby Santa Monica Airport just after 1 p.m. local time and made the drastic decision to land on the storied private golf course, KTLA reported.

Video showed the plane banking around a tree and making touch-and-go contact with the ground near a sandtrap, eventually coming to a precarious stop near the tee where a videographer watched aghast.
