Golf courses, resorts, and venues whose grounds are the product.
When the property is the product, a photograph is a poor way to sell it. A course is a few hundred acres, a resort is a dozen buildings and everything between them, and a venue is a room somebody has to picture their wedding inside. One frame picks one angle and asks the visitor to take the rest on faith.
Most of the deciding happens before anyone drives out. A planner comparing four venues, a golfer choosing a course to travel for, a couple booking from two states away. They are all looking at a website at ten at night, and whichever property shows them the most is the one that gets the call.
The situation.
The grounds never photograph as big as they are
Acreage, elevation, and how the property sits in its setting are the whole appeal, and they flatten in a single image.
Out of town bookers deciding blind
Planners and travelling members choose from a website. They cannot walk the space, so they discount what they cannot see.
Photography from a different decade
Trees have grown, a clubhouse was renovated, a new nine opened, and the site still shows the property as it was.
What we do for courses and venues.
Interactive 3D scenes
The property rebuilt as a scene a visitor can orbit in a browser, so they settle their own questions about scale and setting instead of trusting a photograph.

The clubhouse, the pro shop, the ballroom. A planner stands in the room at ten at night, months before the site visit.
Learn moreAerial photography and video
Hole by hole, space by space, and the property in its setting. Flown under FAA Part 107 with the airspace authorization filed before the date is confirmed.
Learn moreAerial site documentation
Top down imagery and an annotated map for laying out a tournament, an event footprint, or a course improvement.
Learn moreThe page it all lives on
Built here too, which is the part a drone operator cannot do. The capture and the section of the site it goes into come from one studio.
Learn moreKept current
Grounds change in public. Scheduled re-capture after a renovation or a season, so the property online is the property today.
Learn moreA drone operator hands you files. We fly the property, build the 3D scene and the tour, and build the page they live on. That last part is why this is one engagement instead of three vendors and a web person trying to assemble the result.
What courses and venues ask.
Can you shoot without closing the course?
Yes. We fly early, before play or before an event load in, which is also when the light is worth having. Nothing needs to shut down.
Do you shoot every hole?
We can. Hole by hole is a common scope for a course, and it doubles as the content for a scorecard, a yardage book, and the website. It is quoted by the number of holes covered.
Will this work on our existing website?
In almost every case, yes. The scene and the tour embed on the page you already have. If your platform blocks embeds, we tell you before you book rather than after.
Are you insured and certified?
FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, and we file the airspace authorization your location requires. An uncertificated operator flying your property commercially is not legal, and that exposure lands on the property as well as the operator.
How far do you travel?
Las Vegas and the Brazos Valley are included. We have shot in St. George, Utah, and travel beyond those markets is quoted per project.
