Golf course fly-through videos for Irish golf clubs
FLYTHRU creates cinematic fly-through videos and interactive hole-by-hole tours for golf clubs in Ireland, embedded on the club website beside its online booking page. Each hole flies from tee to green and then orbits the green. Holes are built from Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, so no drone is needed, and most clubs are live within a week.

What is a golf course flyover video for an Irish club?
A golf course flyover video is an aerial film of a hole that follows the line of play from tee to green. For an Irish club, it lets visitors see how an Atlantic links weaves through the dunes, or how a parkland hole is framed by mature trees and water, before they ever book a round.
FLYTHRU renders each hole as a smooth tee-to-green flight and finishes with a slow orbit of the green. Together the holes form an interactive tour of the course that sits on the club's own website.
That gives members, societies and visitors one place to see the course, rather than relying on old photographs or scattered clips on social media.
How much does a golf course fly-through cost in Ireland?

How long does filming take for a golf course in Ireland?
Most Irish clubs need no filming at all. FLYTHRU builds each hole from Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, working remotely from Dundee, so there is no site visit and no drone over the course. Once mapped, most clubs are live within a week. A drone capture day on site is only included on Championship plans.
Atlantic weather can make drone days hard to plan, so building from 3D Tiles keeps the project on schedule.
Going live takes one line of script on the club's existing website, with no rebuild and no plugins. The fly-through then links to whatever online booking page the club already uses.
Do you need a drone permit to film a golf course in Ireland?
In Ireland, drones are regulated by the Irish Aviation Authority, which applies the EU drone regulations (EU 2019/947). Operators must register with the IAA, and pilots complete online training and a test for the Open category. Flying closer to people needs an A2 Certificate of Competency. Most FLYTHRU plans use no drone.
Some geographical zones in Ireland are restricted, including areas around airports, and the club's permission is needed for take-off and landing on its land.
Rules are updated from time to time, so clubs should check the current IAA guidance before agreeing to any drone filming. For most clubs the question never comes up, because FLYTHRU builds the fly-through from 3D Tiles.
How do Irish clubs use fly-throughs to sell memberships and tee times?
Irish clubs place the fly-through beside the link to their online booking page, so a golfer can watch the course and book a tee time in the same visit. For membership, the full tour shows prospective members what they would be joining, and gives the membership committee something worth sharing with every enquiry.
The Caddie, a website chatbot, answers visitor questions as they browse. A monthly results email shows how many times the course flew and which holes got the most views.
Clubhouse mode runs a 16:9 auto-cycling loop on the bar or foyer screen, and the tee plaque QR programme lets golfers scan a plaque on each tee to watch that hole fly.
Does FLYTHRU suit both Atlantic links and parkland courses in Ireland?
Yes. Ireland's west and north-west coasts are known for big dune links facing the Atlantic, while parkland courses are common around Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. A fly-through shows what defines each one: towering dunes and exposed greens on the coast, tree-lined fairways and water inland.
Links holes often hide their trouble, so flying the line of play helps first-time visitors plan their round. On parkland courses, the orbit of the green shows the slopes and bunkering a golfer will face on the approach.
How do fly-throughs help Irish clubs win golf society outings?
Golf societies are a strong part of Irish golf, and organisers choose a venue on behalf of the whole group. A hole-by-hole tour gives the organiser something to share with members, shows the course is right for the group's standard, and makes it easier to confirm a date with the club.
Visitors from overseas planning golf trips to Ireland also benefit, as they can see each course from home before building an itinerary. See how a full tour works on our free Sample Links demo, a fictional course, and on a demo call we will fly your opening hole free.
