I learned a lot, thank you. For a 18 hole fly over with drone footage of club house, driving range and practice putting green, you're probably looking at 1 to 2 full days of work and at least 2 days of editing. What would you charge for an A+ video? $3-$5K?

Hey guys! Thanks so much for this info. Ive golfed my whole life and worked around the golf industry for years. I got a DJI Mavic Pro last year and had the same idea to shoot golf courses. I live in an area that has about 40 golf courses in a 50-60 mile radius around me (Pinehurst, NC). There is definitely a market around me! I love watching quality filmed and edited video of golf courses so doing this was right up my alley! Thanks for the info to take into consideration!

I also have a mavic pro and think one thing that should be considered is having a golfer available for input and even better one familiar with the course so they know how the holes are usually played and try and get as much perspective on usual sight lines for shots. My old course that unfortunately got closed for good over water issues is a good example it's very hilly and if you don't know the course at all you'll record parts of the course that really no one plays from.

I agree that there is a lot more time that goes into shooting a golf course than people think. Your were talking about shooting the holes at the right time to allow for correct lighting. What is the best time/lighting to shoot? With the sun behind you? early in the morning and the evening ? Noon?Thanks

[@danielmajor1015]

1 hr after sunrise and 1 hr before sunset are the best times to shoot courses
