With over 400 courses in our library, our purpose is to make golf course photography taken from the player’s view more widely available to the golf industry.

Marbella Golf's 4th hole, seen from the tee

We are passionate to present golf holes:

  • meaningfully – i.e. generally from the player’s viewpoint (so often ignored by marketing departments), and
  • attractively, yet
  • with realism

Golf photos taken from the player’s view are particularly important for club marketing, PR and websites, because they are meaningful to golfers, meeting their need to be enticed by what will be presented to them when they stand or the tee or the fairway of a golf course. Too often we see beautiful images published, which do not show prospective visitors to clubs what the course is like to play (e.g. seductive shots taken across one fairway to the green of a different hole, or backwards from green to tee); whilst beautiful, such photos are not as convincing to golfers as ‘player’s view’ shots. It makes a difference to post images from a professional golf course photography specialist who understand these needs.

The best catalogues of our images are The Pocket Guide to Golf Courses series, our sister product. Our images have been published worldwide in books, magazines and on the web. If you require photos of your course, please contact william@players-view.com.
