A woman was arrested after leading police on a car chase across a golf course in Florida.

In dramatic police dashcam footage, Jodi Ann Harvey, 60, can be seen driving a 4x4 through a golf course as police chase her.

Golfers can be seen trying to dodge the vehicle, which at one point swerves close to a golf buggy.

Eventually, the police cars catch up to her and box her in.

The video shows Harvey emerging from the car wearing a red strappy jumpsuit and getting on her knees while appearing to text on her phone. Police then handcuff and arrest her.

The Indian River County Sheriff Office said in a statement posted on Facebook that the incident took place when deputies attempted to pull her over, but she did not comply, which prompted a pursuit.

They said that shortly after 1pm, Harvey tried to flee and drove through the Grand Harbor golf course gate in the Waterford Lakes community of Vero Beach.

She now faces charges including driving under the influence, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated assault on a police officer.

Police said that no one was injured, although her car and the two Sheriff's Office cars sustained damage.

Harvey has been taken to the county jail without bail, the Sheriff's office said.
