Our policy allows members and visitors to enjoy photography, video and social media while protecting the privacy of others, safeguarding our younger members, maintaining the flow of play and ensuring commercial use of Brynhill is properly authorised.

Photography Video Social Media Drone Filming Commercial Content

Enjoy capturing Brynhill.

Brynhill Golf Club is proud of its course, facilities and community, and we are delighted when members and visitors capture photographs and videos of their experiences at the Club.

We encourage responsible sharing of Brynhill on social media. However, there is an important distinction between personal photography and video and using Brynhill Golf Club, its golf course, facilities, members or brand for commercial, promotional or monetised purposes.

!

Personal use is welcome. Commercial use requires permission.

If content is being created for a business, brand, commercial social-media channel, sponsorship, advertising, promotion, paid partnership or another commercial purpose, prior approval must be obtained from Brynhill Golf Club.

  • Short personal videos and golf swing recordings are permitted.
  • Content may be shared on personal social-media accounts.

Respecting Members, Visitors & Staff

  • Please represent fellow golfers, staff and visitors respectfully.
  • Do not publish content designed to embarrass, harass or target another member, visitor or member of staff.

  • Golfers must not repeatedly replay shots solely for filming purposes during normal course play.

  • Equipment must not be positioned where it could create a safety risk.

Brynhill Golf Club Branding

Permission to photograph or film at Brynhill does not automatically grant permission to use the Brynhill Golf Club logo, branding or other Club assets.

Any commercial use of the Brynhill Golf Club name or logo must be specifically authorised by the Club.

Content must not suggest that Brynhill Golf Club endorses a product, business, service, individual or organisation unless an official agreement is in place.

Club Photography & Filming

Brynhill Golf Club regularly captures photography and video to promote the Club, its golf course, competitions, facilities and events.

This may include general photographs or footage of Club events, competitions and activity around the course and clubhouse for use on the Club website, MembersHub and official social-media channels.

Where an individual is the specific focus of promotional photography or filming, the Club will seek appropriate permission where required.

Anyone who has a particular concern about appearing in Club photography or video should speak to the Club Office.
