Hero Shots Media
Every holeof your course,from the air.
Without a drone on your property, on a page your golfers open at the tee.
What it is
Not a video.A tour.
The flythrough is the raw material. What a club gets is the thing a golfer opens: eighteen holes, a map to take a hole from, a clip for each one, and a link that goes straight to the seventh from a marker at the tee.
Build the course once and everything on this page comes from that one build. The tour. A one-page site. A whole club website. A hole you can play. All of it is live here, and all of it is one course.
The light build
One page,built around it.
The tour drops into a club's existing website as one line of code. When there is no page worth dropping it into, we build the page.
One page in the club's own colours, the tour at the centre of it, the facts a golfer actually needs around it. It stands at its own address until the club wants it somewhere else.
This one is live.

The full build
Or the wholewebsite.
Six pages: the club, the course hole by hole, dining, outings, rates and membership, and how to visit.
The hard part of a club website is what fills it. This one is filled by the course itself: the same film and stills the tour already carries, on every page a visitor opens. One build feeds all of it, and an update at our end reaches every page.
This one is live too.

The game
A holeyou can play.
One hole of the real course, playable in the browser, on the same terrain the tour flies. Nothing to install.
A tour gets watched. A game gets finished, and played again. A good score is worth an email address, and whether the course trades one for the other is the club's call.
What is live today is a one-hole demo.

How it works
Six questions,in the order they get asked.
Every one of these is answered before anything is agreed, because none of them is about video quality.
Do you need access to the property?
No. The course is rebuilt from public elevation data, public aerial imagery and open map geometry. Nobody comes to the club and nothing is scheduled around us.
Does the course have to be closed for the shoot?
There is no shoot. No aircraft, no crew, no weather window, and no hole out of play at any point.
It is the first thing we get asked, so it is the first thing we answer.
What do you need from us?
A scorecard, so every hole carries the par and the numbers the club actually plays rather than numbers read off a map. The club's colours and marks. And which holes you want to see first.
How do we know it is right before anyone sees it?
Hole by hole, with you, before anything is published. Nothing goes live at our address until the club has been through all eighteen.
Where does the finished tour actually live?
At our address, and inside the club's own site as one line of code. The same tour in two places, updated once. A marker at the tee can point straight at a single hole.
What is not in the picture?
Buildings. They are not modelled anywhere in the pipeline and they do not appear. The ground, the trees, the water and the turf do.
That is said here rather than discovered later, because it is the one thing a superintendent notices first.
Courses
Named,or not shown.
A club is checkable and an adjective is not, so this block carries names or it carries nothing. Every course here was built by Hero Shots and can be opened and played through.
Questions
The rest of it.
Is this a drone flight?
No. There is no aircraft and nobody on the property. The course is rebuilt from public elevation data and aerial imagery, then lit and rendered.
How accurate is it?
The shape of the course comes from open map geometry and public elevation data, so it is as good as those are. It is not a survey and should never be used as one. Distances come from the club's own scorecard or they are left off the page entirely.
What if a hole is mapped wrong?
It happens, and it is caught before anyone else sees it. Where the open data has a gap, the corridor is inferred from the mapped centreline and flagged as inferred rather than presented as fact.
Can we put it on our own website?
Yes, and that is the usual answer. One iframe and one script. It sizes itself, it carries no branding of ours inside the frame, and a fix at our end reaches every club without anyone republishing anything.
Is the game part of the tour?
It is built from the same course data and stands on its own page. What is live today is a one-hole demo, played in the browser with nothing to install. How a club uses it is agreed with the club.
What happens to it after it goes live?
It stays at our address and stays current. If the course changes, the affected holes can be rebuilt, and every place the tour is embedded shows the new ones.
Which courses can you build?
Single-course facilities in southern New England today, and the wider eastern United States as coverage is proven. The course needs nine or more holes carried in open map data and public elevation coverage across the whole property.
A short automatic check answers it in about a second, before anything else happens.

One hole, from public data, before anything is agreed. If it is not obviously your course, there is nothing to talk about.
