Project Overview


For Lochemse Golfclub, the goal of this project was to visually translate the character, quality, and atmosphere of the golf course into a compelling photographic story. The images were created to strengthen the club’s brand identity, enhance member engagement, and support marketing and communication with guests, sponsors, and partners.


By approaching the course through a golfer’s eye, this project highlights the unique balance between sport, nature, and architecture that defines Lochemse Golfclub.

The photography Challenge


Every golf course has its own rhythm, light, and personality. The true challenge at Lochemse lies in capturing its dual soul:


the strategic rigor of the course design versus the tranquil hospitality of the Achterhoek region. Each season repaints the canvas; from the neon brilliance of spring to the deep, golden hues of autumn. The mission? To create images that don't just depict the course, but make you feel the adrenaline of a drive down the center.

THE APPROACH


As a scratch golfer, I experience the course not just as a photographer, but as a player. This perspective guided every decision during the shoot.


The photography sessions were planned around optimal light conditions—early mornings and late evenings—when shadows, contours, and textures reveal the true depth of the course. Careful attention was given to compositions that naturally guide the viewer’s eye toward the flag, reinforcing the essence of the game.


Environmental elements such as wind, clouds, and changing light were embraced rather than avoided, adding realism, tension, and atmosphere to each image.


The photographs are used across the club’s website, social media, and promotional materials, helping to attract new visitors, engage current members, and strengthen the club’s visual identity.

Client Experience

“Amazing experience and beautiful photos!”


In 2024 I had a photoshoot with Peter van Weel at Hole 18 Golf Course Photography and I am very satisfied with the final result. His photos are truly stunning; he knows how to capture the right moment and plays perfectly with light and composition.


The attention to detail that Peter puts into his work is clearly visible in every photo. Additionally, the communication with Peter was incredibly pleasant. He is not only professional and skilled but also friendly and approachable. He makes sure you feel at ease right away, which of course reflects in the quality of the photos.


Peter listens carefully to your wishes and contributes ideas for the best approach, which made the collaboration very smooth. I would recommend Peter van Weel to anyone looking for a photographer for their golf course, who knows how to combine craftsmanship with personal attention.
