A golf course is one of the hardest things to show well on a website. A scorecard is just numbers. A handful of pretty photos misses the experience of actually playing it. So the best way to show a course is to fly it — the way a golfer experiences it, hole by hole.
In the video below you will see the following:
- 1 short promotional video which provides a brief overview and history of the course
- 18 hole by hole flyovers meant to show visiting golfers what they can expect when they arrive.
That’s the approach we took at St. George’s Golf & Country Club. Hole by hole, we ran the drone down each fairway — starting behind the tee and tracking all the way onto the putting surface — so a first-time player arrives already knowing the shape of every shot, where the trouble sits, and how the green reads. We’ve filmed the course on two separate visits, coming back once the club reworked a few of its holes. It’s become one of the most rewarding projects we take on, and any course looking to put its best face forward can have the same.
Why Clubs Do It
Member recruitment. A cinematic tour of the course is a far more persuasive pitch to a prospective member than a gallery of static photos. It sells the experience.
Visitor previews. Public and resort courses use hole-by-hole flyovers to let golfers preview the round and book with confidence.
Event and tournament marketing. A course reel is a strong asset for outings, tournaments, and corporate events.
Website and social. Individual hole clips make excellent social content and keep a course’s online presence alive between seasons.
Real estate. For courses surrounded by residential communities, aerial sells the lifestyle as much as the golf.
What You Receive
A full course reel, hole-by-hole tee-to-green flyovers, individual clips for web and social, signature-hole hero shots, and clubhouse and amenity aerials — everything a club needs to market the course it’s proud of.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time of year to film a golf course?
When the course is at its proudest — for most New Jersey clubs, that window runs late spring through early fall, when the turf is in full color and the trees are dressed. The worst time is right after aeration or major course work, so the schedule starts with the superintendent’s calendar, not ours.
Will filming interfere with member play?
It does not have to. Hole-by-hole work is planned around the tee sheet — early mornings, gaps in play, or closed-course windows — and a drone covering a hole tee-to-green needs only minutes on each before moving on. The club’s calendar leads; we fit inside it.
Do you film every hole, or just the signature ones?
Either. The full tee-to-green sequence for all eighteen is the flagship format — it is what we produced for St. George’s Golf & Country Club — while some clubs want a highlight cut built around the signature holes for marketing and events. The capture supports both.
What do clubs actually use the footage for?
Recruitment, previews, and events. Membership prospects can see the course before a visit, outing and event planners can preview every hole, and the club’s website and social presence gain an asset that outlasts any single season. One production, several jobs.
