Drone Video Production and Aerial Photography for Golf Courses
Full-service aerial and ground filmmaking and photography, 2D and 3D land mapping, and hole-by-hole video guides for golf courses
We use drones to capture promotional videos, documentary content, stunning aerial photography, and detailed ground surveys of golf courses. Decades of online marketing experience, property surveying expertise, and commercial drone ops make us the go-to choice.
From clubhouse to course; from tee to hole — we’ll shoot visuals of your grounds in a variety of ways. General videos which showcase all of your facilities are great for social media campaigns, and course guides offer visitors a unique perspective on each hole, with tips for being on par! We produced our first documentary in 2020 and are looking forward to applying these skills to the world of golf.
Qualified FPV Pilots
You’ll be working with legally-approved professional pilots. We hold operational authorisation, granted to us by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). We’re also a member of Drone Safe Register.
National Coverage
Our pilots and ground team work all over the UK. We love travelling far and wide to meet our clients in interesting places — and we’re always up for a round of golf, of course!
Serious About Safety
Risk assessments, pre-flight plans, and specialist PPE: we ensure every shoot is safe, and closely adhere to rules on flying near large crowds and congested areas.
Drone Video Editing
for Golf Courses
Beyond capturing footage of your golf course, we can create informative and entertaining videos for your website, social media, member newsletters, press, and other digital media.
2D & 3D Mapping
of Golf Courses
We can survey, inspect, and map golf courses in top-down 2D and fully-maneuverable 3D, creating topographical maps and databases of damaged land that grounds staff can reference while rolling out repairs.
Cinema Quality
Your spectacular golf courses deserve cutting-edge quality. For aerial, we use Zenmuse X7 lenses docked on our DJI Inspire 3 and X9 full frame sensor. On the ground, we use Blackmagic, RED and Fuji Film cameras. We also utilise smaller drones and cameras for discrete filming.
2D Animation & Titling
for Golf Course Guides
A hole-by-hole guide of your course makes for a strong marketing asset and helps golfers visualise the green. We can enhance your video guides with text and 2D animation overlays, explaining each fairway.
Ground-To-Air
Communication
Our whole team is equipped with Eartec headsets, so we remain in constant contact for the entirety of each event. Good for safety. Great for warning people of incoming golf balls!
All-Day
Aerial Filming
We’re equipped with battery charging generators to keep our drones running all day. The generator case has all-terrain wheels for easy traversal with minimal impact on well-tended fields.
Full-Service
Marketing
We’ve worked with golf courses all over the UK on campaigns targeting a wide variety of demographics. We’re masters of integrating aerial imagery into social ads, booking funnels, and content and SEO marketing.

Showcase: Videos for Golf Courses
Golf legends drop in to help Bothwell Castle celebrate centenary year
Sandy Lyle, Paul Lawrie, Ian Woosnam and Stephen Gallagher played in an exhibition match. We were tasked with filming and photographing the event utilising drone technology.
Filming EU Legends Tour 2022 preparations at JCB Golf & Country Club
Ahead of the 2022 EU Legends Tour, JCB Golf & Country Club in Rocester contacted us about our FPV drone services. They asked us to film their mightily impressive course, the staff who keep it looking its best, and the JCB machines they use. So, early in July 2022, we set off up north!
Reigate Heath Golf Club
Reigate Heath Golf Club has quite the story. They came to us to create a video through which to tell it. Our production featured match-cuts between our modern footage and archival videos from 1982, when the BBC filmed Around with Alliss at the club. We also used our drones to mimic an arcing golf ball’s point of view! Fun, informative, and engaging — the three pillars of any quality promotional film.
Chart Hills Golf Course
Famous for having courses designed by professional golfer Sir Nick Faldo, and for being rife with game-changing bunkers, Chart Hills is truly one of a kind. The long, winding ‘Anaconda’ pit looked incredible from a drone’s-eye perspective. The film we created for Chart Hills also helped promote their event facilities, including the bar, function rooms, and spaces for weddings and business conferences.
Tracy Park Hotel, Spa, & Golf Club
Our promotional video for Tracy Park Golf & Country Hotel features beautiful aerial views of their golf course, where tutors are on hand to help sharpen visitors’ skills. The film showcases some of the natural challenges facing anyone who decides to take the course on, including woodlands and lakes.
