Flying a Camera at Floridian National Golf Club / by Johnny Michael

Over the past couple of years, I've been fortunate to film at Floridian Golf Club's Harmon Floridian training facility and capture content for their youth program, Team Flo. As a drone pilot, this property is a dream - there are truly epic views from above.

The clubhouse and grounds occupy a protected piece of land that curves along the waterways in Palm City, Florida. The Harmon Course, designed by Butch Harmon, Kelly Gibson, and Jon Schmenk, is a world-class 9-hole short course that serves as the home practice facility for the training program.

It's not hard to find compelling angles here - whether you're capturing sweeping aerials from the sky or getting down low by the fringes, the design and natural landscape do a lot of the work for you. The white sand bunkers, strategic green complexes, and Florida setting make for cinematic frames at every turn.

Here are some cuts and content I created from the footage:

Grateful to Ryan and the team at Floridian for the access and the opportunity to document this special facility. If you're a golf course or training program looking to create cinematic content, let's talk.
