GolfBirdie – Your Golf Eye in the Sky!

GolfBirdie is the first tee to green flyover guide of the world’s top golf courses. “It’s the modern stroke saver” and provides some amazing footage with their advanced drone video equipment. The amazing success of GolfBirdie has enjoyed in its early days doing business saw it getting to the Semi Final as part Virgin’s VOOM 2016 Campaign recently which was a fantastic achievement and shows just what a fantastic offering GolfBirdie provides!

Users simply download the Free App, search their favourite club and have a bird’s eye view with professional video commentary and local knowledge, it is a great promotional tool for any golf course or resort and also allows golfers to check out the courses before they play in a way they’ve never been able to do before. GolfBirdie helps you plan a golf trip anywhere in the word. No more looking at still images to decide where you would like to play. Each course has a 4k promotional video giving you the ability to see a course like never before.

So what can GolfBirdie do for your club?

GolfBirdie film a 4K tee to green flyover of your course, all of which will be included on our global app. The promotional video captures the true beauty of your course and its main features, providing great advertising material for your website, social media and TV advertisements. With clients such as the Old Head Golf Links, The Island Golf Club, the Oceanico courses and Vale de Lobo among others it is easy to see why GolfBirdie is getting increasingly popular as a means of promoting your Golf Club or Resort at the highest level.

The footage, which I have seen first hand is amazing and will definitely give you the edge over your competitors in the market by adding that “wow factor” to your promotional tools and Sales & Marketing plans! Being a part of GolfBirdie opens up a whole new market of potential customers planning golf trips to Ireland and puts your club in the spotlight when they are deciding where to play.
