We’ve all had days when our navigational skills have failed us.

But for one off-duty Uber driver, a nightmare journey led him to the middle of a golf course, much to the amusement of several players.

The driver was filmed trundling up the buggy lane through the South Essex golf centre’s course last week, according to The Sun.

The hapless motorist then told bemused golfers he had lost his way while driving to a barbecue.

Stephen Maguire, 28, took his phone out to film the Toyota Prius as soon as he saw it approaching the ninth hole.

He said: ‘I was playing golf with my dad and he suddenly said – ‘is that a car?’

‘I turned and saw a normal car driving up the hills on the buggy path. I’ve never seen a car up there so high.’

Mr Maguire spotted the driver trying to do a ’15 point turn’ in between bushes as he tried to make his way off the course.

He said: ‘He drove towards me and I said ‘you all right? You’re on a golf course!’

‘He said he was trying to get to a barbecue.’

The golfer from Basildon, Essex, said he did not know how the motorist had got onto the course.

He said: ‘He must have been spiralling up those hills somehow, I’ve never seen a car up there.

 ‘We just started laughing.’

The video has since amassed hundreds of comments and retweets on Twitter.

Let’s hope the driver managed to find his way off the course.
