4 Tips to Utilize Facebook for Your Country Club

Long Drive Agency • Nov 20, 2017

So you’ve created a page on Facebook for your country club but aren’t sure what to do next. Or maybe, you’ve had a Facebook for your country club for some time but don’t feel like you’re getting much out of it.


Well, fret no more! We’re here to help!


Take a look at out are four tips to help you utilize Facebook for your country club!

1) Create Events

Earlier this month we created a detailed post on how to create a successful Facebook event for your country club.


Creating a Facebook Event is so much more valuable for your digital marketing efforts than just posting about an upcoming event. It lets people see who else is attending or even considering attending with the “interested” option. It creates a space for people to discuss the event, ask questions and also post pictures afterward. And that’s just a few of the benefits of creating a Facebook Event versus just a post on your page.

2) Post Club Photos

Statistics show that Facebook posts with images perform 2.3x better than those without them.


High-quality, engaging images are extremely powerful when it comes to social media. They can be taken quickly and efficiently with a smartphone or camera. The iPhone today has one of the best capturing quality we have ever seen, so there is no excuse not to be taking photos regularly at your country club.


If you just can’t decide what kind of photos to post, here are a few ideas:


  • Behind The Scenes
  • Social media users love seeing what goes on behind closed doors. It makes them feel more connected to your club and gives them a reason to follow you on social media.
  • Merchandise Images
  • Show the latest products to hit the shelves in your pro shop or some of the most popular items that continue to be best-sellers. You can even invite members to share their images of something they recently purchased from your pro shop.
  • Course Photos
  • On the next beautiful, sunny day head out to the course and take some pictures. Sunset and sunrise course photos get the best engagement on social channels like Facebook and Instagram. Today’s smartphones are so advanced that if the lighting is good they often look professional.
