Took some shots at a beautiful country club this weekend. Would love opinions on the photos and processing. Taken with 5Dmkii and Ziess ZE 35.

Very nice scenery but the Golf part is not what I would call obvious. If you were trying to convey a sense of the course itself, I'd prefer to see more shots looking either in the direction you'd actually be playing a shot (tee --> green) or else looking back from behind the green where you can see the contours of the green and surrounding traps.

Palm Springs, CA area?

I had some of people on the course, but they weren't the best of the day. I was there for an Easter Egg Hunt, and shot these for fun because the surroundings were so beautiful. Next time I'll try to get a cart so I can cruise the course for some better angles that focus a bit more on the golf aspect.

Thanks for the tip!

The course is about 30 minutes east of Palm Springs.

I would agree with FlyingPhotog. All nice shots, but if you had moved focal point of number 1 a few yards to the left you would have been on line with the Tee and still shown the lake and the mountains in the background.
It would have given the perspective of someone teeing off.

Great looking course for sure.

The vividness and clarity in these photos are amazing.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Yes, pretty scenery indeed. I don't know how they get the shots for Golf Digest and other golf rags, but it's not easy to convey 'golf' in pics.

Nicely done and very nice scenery!
