A course marshal at the San Juan Hills Golf Club found the leopard shark on Monday afternoon and brought it to the clubhouse, according to Melissa McCormack, the operations director at the course.
It had puncture wounds where it appeared a bird had snagged it from the Pacific Ocean, about five miles away.
The marshal put the creature, which was bleeding but still alive, into his golf buggy and sped off back to the clubhouse.
They stuck the two-foot-long shark into fresh water before somebody remembered it came from the sea, so they got some sea salt from the kitchen and mixed it in.
Another employee rushed the shark to the ocean where McCormack says it was very still for a few seconds before twisting around and speeding off.
