Golf Content Creator & Influencer Collaboration Opportunities in Santee, South Carolina
Santee Cooper Golf Resort is built around buddy groups, stay-and-play weekends, multiple courses in one destination, and the kind of golf experiences people travel for.
We’re always looking to work with creators who can help tell that story the right way — through golf content, travel storytelling, photography, video, and authentic social media presence.
If you create content in golf, travel, lifestyle, or sports, this is where we connect.
What This Program Is
This is a creator collaboration program for golfers, influencers, and visual storytellers who want to create content on-property at Santee Cooper Golf Resort.
We work with:
- Golf influencers and content creators
- Travel and lifestyle creators
- Drone operators and aerial videographers
- Golf photographers and videographers
- Social-first storytellers (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, newsletters)
Some creators come with an audience. Others come with a camera and a strong creative eye. Both matter here!
What We Look For in Golf Creators
To keep partnerships aligned with the resort and the audience we serve, we look for a few core things.
Influencers & Content Creators
- Minimum 5,000 followers on at least one primary platform
- Active posting history (not inactive or sporadic accounts)
- Strong engagement relative to audience size
- Golf-focused or golf-adjacent content (travel, lifestyle, sports, etc.)
- Clean, brand-safe presence across platforms
- Ability to create content that feels natural, not forced or overly scripted
Photographers, Videographers & Drone Operators
- A portfolio that shows strong visual storytelling ability
- Experience capturing golf, travel, or outdoor environments
- Ability to deliver organized, usable content files
- FAA drone certification preferred (if applicable)
- Professional communication and reliability with deliverables
- Prior brand or destination work is a plus, but not required
We care less about perfection and more about consistency, creativity, and whether your work actually makes people want to go play golf.
What Collaborating With Santee Cooper Looks Like
Every partnership is slightly different depending on the creator, but collaborations typically include opportunities such as:
- Access to Santee Cooper Golf Resort courses and facilities
- Opportunities to stay and experience on-site lodging and packages
- Content creation access across multiple golf courses in the destination
- Ability to capture buddy-trip, stay-and-play, and travel-style golf content
- Potential inclusion in ongoing marketing campaigns and social features
In some cases, creators are invited as part of structured campaigns or group experiences. In others, it’s a more organic content partnership built around your style and audience.
Why Creators Work With Golf Destinations Like Santee
Santee Cooper is a natural fit for golf travel content. It’s built around multi-course golf trips, group stays, and the kind of experiences golfers plan weeks or months in advance.
That makes it especially strong for:
- Buddy trip content
- Golf getaway storytelling
- “Here’s the full trip” style reels and videos
- Multi-day travel content series
- Destination-style golf coverage
This isn’t a single-course moment… it’s a full trip story, which gives creators a lot to work with.
A Few Things That Matter Across Every Collaboration
No matter the format, we look for creators who bring:
- Authentic storytelling (not overly staged content)
- Strong visual quality and attention to detail
- Reliability with timelines and deliverables
- A clear understanding of audience engagement
- Professional communication throughout the process
- A genuine appreciation for golf travel experiences
If your content makes golfers think, “I want to go there,” you’re probably a fit.
Important Note
Submitting an application does not guarantee collaboration.
