How to Make a Listing Video for a Golf-Course Home

A golf-course home sells the view of the fairway and the life of the club, so the video opens on the patio looking out, shows the course at a quiet hour, and gives the clubhouse one clip with permission. The caption states the membership facts — mandatory or optional, initiation and dues — because those change the price of living there.

The view first

A backyard reveal through the patio doors onto the fairway is the opener; a balcony pull-back from the green into the room is the alternative. Shoot early, before play starts, so the fairway is empty and the light is low.

The lot on the course

A drone fly-over from a licensed pilot's stills shows which hole the lot backs to and how far the house sits from the play. Buyers ask about errant balls; the aerial answers it without a word.

The club

One clip of the clubhouse, the pool or the courts, with the club's permission. Membership terms in the caption; a video cannot say them and a buyer needs them.

Questions

When should I shoot the fairway?

First light, before the first tee time — empty course, low sun, no carts.

Should the caption say which hole?

Yes; golf buyers know the course and it tells them about the view, the play and the noise.
