In summer, I have seen gators in this lake several times. Before I moved here, my neighbor said he saw the gators come up on to the land too. Mostly very young ones.

I have seen golfers totally panic when they see them. Generally, they don't bother anyone. If one didn't make dinner out of an egret a few feet away on the bank, they aren't going to go after the golfers.
