The Access

Doors that don’t open
for anyone else.

Coordinated Club Access

The club is contacted, the filming agreement is negotiated, and your visit is scheduled. You show up with your camera.

Exclusive Briefings

Before every visit, you receive a brief on the club's history, notable holes, and architectural pedigree. Your content will be the most informed ever produced on that property.

Your Link, Your Audience

Every piece of content includes your unique referral link. When viewers become members, you earn. Most memberships start at $50,000.

Priority Clubs

Matched with clubs currently seeking new members — giving your content a genuine purpose beyond views.

Full Creative Ownership

You own everything you film. No scripts. No approval theater. The only ask is a tag and a link.

Free Club Access

Filming access is arranged and covered. No fees, no strings. You bring the camera, the talent, and the story.

Content

Three formats. One audience
that takes membership seriously.

Every view has intent behind it. Your content is a purchasing signal.

Format 01

The Walkthrough Tour

A full property walkthrough — entrance, pro shop, locker rooms, dining, practice facilities, and the course itself. Narrated. No hype. Honest. The kind of video a prospective member would watch three times before enquiring.

15–25 min · YouTube primary · Club-approved
Format 02

The Course Flyover

Drone and ground-level footage of every hole. No commentary required. Hole layouts, elevation changes, hazards, and greens. The visual proof that justifies a six-figure initiation fee better than any brochure ever could.

8–12 min · YouTube + Instagram Reels
Format 03

The Member Day

A morning in the life of a member. Arrival, warm-up, a round, lunch in the grill room, a conversation with the pro. Unscripted. The emotional content that makes someone call their sponsor and say 'I want in.'

10–18 min · YouTube + short-form cuts

How It Works

Apply. Get matched.
Show up and film.

01

Apply in two minutes

Tell us your platforms, your following, and what you've filmed before. No lengthy pitch deck. Your work is what matters, not your follower count.

02

Get matched to a club

Based on your location, audience, and content style, clubs that make sense are identified. The call is made and approval is handled. You receive a brief and a date.

03

Film it your way

You own the creative. A brief and access are provided. The content should feel like yours — because it is. No scripts. No approval theater. Just honest work.

04

Earn on every referral

Your unique link lives in the description. When a viewer signs up and enquires about a club, you earn $500. When they become a member, there may be more.

“The course had never been filmed before. My video got 400,000 views in a week. The club had 60 membership enquiries the following month.”

FAQ

Things worth knowing first.

There is no minimum. Creators at 8,000 subscribers and at 2 million have both participated. What matters is whether your audience is genuinely interested in golf, luxury, or the private club world. A focused audience of 15,000 golf enthusiasts is worth more than 500,000 general lifestyle followers.

Not specifically. Luxury travel creators, architecture enthusiasts, and lifestyle filmmakers who had never filmed a golf course have all participated. What matters is whether you can produce thoughtful, well-executed visual content that respects the subject. Some of the best pieces were shot by people who had never played the game.

It varies. Some clubs are eager — they understand that a well-produced video is the most effective membership marketing they have ever had. Others are more reserved and will set parameters: no member faces, specific areas off-limits, approval on the final thumbnail. All of this is handled before your visit. You will always know exactly what you can and cannot film before you arrive.

Applications and content are reviewed within five business days. If there is a fit, a brief note is sent and a short call is scheduled. If the timing is not right, you will be told why and your application will be kept on file. Applicants are never ghosted.

This is not exclusive. You can film for anyone. The only ask is that content produced through our access program tags ThePrivateClubs.com and includes your referral link. Everything else is yours to do with as you choose.

Yes. If you manage multiple creators or run a production team, mention it in the notes field of the application. Multi-creator programs can be arranged with clubs that are actively building out their media presence.
