Why Golf Courses Are Embracing Aerial Tours to Attract New Members

In the competitive world of golf clubs and country clubs, attracting new members isn’t just about offering a great course — it’s about showing it off in the best possible way. That’s why more golf courses are embracing aerial drone tours.

With cinematic overhead views, sweeping flyovers, and immersive storytelling, aerial tours allow prospective members to experience the course before they ever set foot on the green.


Why Aerial Tours Work for Golf Courses

  1. Showcase Course Layout
    Overhead views highlight the flow of the course, from tee to green, giving players a sense of strategy and beauty.

  2. Highlight Signature Holes
    Every course has a few iconic holes. Aerial tours make them shine, showcasing water features, bunkers, and landscapes in cinematic detail.

  3. Capture the Club Experience
    Aerial videos don’t just focus on the greens — they also showcase clubhouses, practice facilities, dining areas, and event spaces.

  4. Appeal to Out-of-Town Members
    Many clubs attract seasonal or traveling golfers. Aerial tours help distant prospects see the property virtually, making it easier to commit.

  5. Boost Marketing Across Platforms
    From websites to social media campaigns, drone footage generates excitement, engagement, and shares that traditional photos can’t match.


Real-World Applications

  • Recruiting New Members – Give potential members a full sense of the course.

  • Event Promotion – Market tournaments, weddings, and banquets hosted at the club.

  • Tourism Tie-Ins – Partner with resorts and travel agencies by showcasing golf as part of a destination experience.

Golf is as much about the experience as the sport itself. Aerial drone tours provide a powerful way to showcase that experience, highlighting course beauty, amenities, and lifestyle in one cinematic package.
