Golf course photography

The golf course I work at would like me to take some pictures of each hole. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas other than the standard views from the tee box or approaches to the greens. There is an island green that I have already taken a pano of.



But I can't think of interesting ideas for some of the other holes. I know this is a difficult question without knowing the golf course but I was hoping someone may have some general ideas that I hadn't thought of yet.

Rent a hot air ballon or helicopter and take over head shots.

Well, I guess you would first have to know what they intend to use the shots for. I can't advise unless I no the purpose. I would take totally different shots for different uses.

They want the pictures for the new website they are working on, the pro is going to write descriptions of each hole to go with the picture. It doesn't need to be the entire hole, I just think it might get boring with every shot coming from the tee box or approaching the green. This may be an impossible question, I was just hoping for some input or other pictures someone else has taken.

For each hole, I would try to find one feature that really highlights that hole, maybe something it is known for, or the point of view that is the most picturesque. That place isn't necessarily the tee box or the green. It would be that SOME of the time, but sometimes maybe it is a shot from the green looking back in the other direction. It doesn't sound like you need any artsy shots that don't really show a golfer what the course looks like--close-ups of the hole with an OOF golfer lining up a putt, stuff like that--but you need what any good landscape shot has.
