Narrative:
Flying low over uninhabited terrain I suddenly came upon a golf course with houses, etc and golfers on course. Before I was able to analyze situation adequately, I passed low overhead some golfers, maybe within 500 ft. Although increased familiarity with locale would have prevented this particular event, I think low flying will always have potential for this problem.
