Photos of Golf Courses Make Great Décor

Golf course photos are great choice living room decor or to hang on the wall in nearly any room. No matter what the mood is there's bound to be a picture of a golf course that suits It perfectly. From longshots of some of the most famous golf greens in the world to windswept waves cliffs of Scotland, golf photographers have captured some of the most beautiful scenery you'll find anywhere. Whether you're looking for living room decor, a golf course picture for the wall of your office, décor for your sports room or game room decor you can't go wrong with photos of golf courses.

Photos of Golf Courses for Your Home
A picture of a golf course is a great choice to hang in a game room, a man cave or the family room, but depending on your choice it can also make an excellent design accent on the living room wall. Photographers love to capture golf courses in many different weather and light conditions – they’re so picturesque that it’s almost impossible to take a bad photo of them, after all. And while it’s easy to think of golf courses as being green, the truth is that you’ll find photos of golf courses where the green is far from the dominant color. This is especially true of photographs of the Masters course at Augusta, where each hole is landscaped with one particular predominant plant. If you want to accent sunny, bright yellows in your room décor, for example, you might choose a photo of Augusta #12, the Golden Bell, taken when the forsythia bushes are in full bloom against the lush green background.

Photos of Golf Courses for Your Office
Photos of famous golf courses help set a professional tone in an office or boardroom setting. It’s a rare executive who doesn’t enjoy a few rounds of golf, and many of them will recognize the links and greens depicted in some of the best known golf photos. A picture of a golf course can give you a common ground from which to start a conversation or simply be an accent that blends perfectly with your corporate surroundings. At the very least, pictures of a golf course are unlikely to offend anyone, nor challenge their thinking. On the contrary, it’s likely to bring a smile to the face of any avid golf enthusiast and help set the mood for a comfortable, productive conversation.

What’s better than a single picture of a golf course? Consider an attractively framed collection of photos of golf courses, either from a single golf course or with a particular theme to really make a statement with your golf room décor. Many golf clubs commission photographers to take pictures of each hole from many angles to use on their websites and in brochures. Those professionally produced photos are often available matted and framed from dealers who sell golf memorabilia either singly or in groups.

Five Types of Popular Golf Art

What do you think of when you hear “golf art”? For some, the term conjures up a picture of a golf course or autographed photos of famous golfers. Others think of the paintings of Linda Hartough and Marci Rule, landscape painters who often paint golf scenes. There are, however, several different types of golf art and golf collectibles that would be at home as game room décor, decorations for a golf room or even as artwork to hang in a corporate boardroom or a sports bar. If you’re looking for art with a golf theme, these are some of the different types of art you might consider.
Golf Course Photography
Golf course photography is more than just a picture of a golf course. Some of the most picturesque landscapes in the world are found on golf courses. They’re designed to be a treat for the eye and soothing for the soul as well as a challenge to the golfer’s game. Golf course photos range from photographs of individual holes on specific golf courses to aerial photographs that capture the layout of the land and the course. Famous golf photographers include Stephen Heit and Joann Dost.
Historic Golf Photos
Over the years, there have been a handful of legends of golf whose photos have become a part of the lore of the game. The famous Ben Hogan golf swing photos, for example, represent a complete analysis of Hogan’s famous form, widely believed to be the perfect golf swing. You can find single photos of Hogan at various points in his swing, as well as collections of golf photos that show the entire swing, one frame at a time.  Other famous historic golf photos include collections of the Grand Slam winners throughout history, and vintage photos of such golf greats as Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Robert “Bobby” Jones.
Famous Golfers
Golf autographs are always in demand. Photographs of famous golfers taken during their moments of triumph – or when they’re relaxing – have always made the magazines and newspapers. Some of the most famous of these photos have become iconic. In addition to legends of golf like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Walter Hagen, there are photos of celebrities who loved golf, such as Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason and Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball.
Golf Memorabilia
Framed collections of golf memorabilia, sometimes including golf photographs and golf autographs, make beautiful and distinguished wall décor. Among the most popular types of golf memorabilia to collect are pin flags from the Masters and other tournaments, autographed photos of famous golfers and prints of the original Articles and Laws in Play at Golf with photos of the iconic golf landmark, Swilcan Bridge at St. Andrews.
Vintage Golf Art
Over the years, golf has been the subject of advertisements and vintage paintings and photos. They range from whimsical, dreamy paintings of children golfing to striking news shots of Babe Zaharias, one of women’s first golfing greats.
Golf art, whether in the form of framed photographs, painting, prints or framed memorabilia, is always classy and always in style. If you’re looking for the right décor for your golf club, family room or corporate boardroom, check out the selection of golf pictures available to suit your style.

Photos of Golf Courses Yield Beautiful Landscapes for Commercial Spaces

Are you looking for something special when it comes to décor for your office, club room or other commercial space? Golf pictures, especially golf course photography, are an ideal choice for decorating nearly any type of corporate space. Golf photography is widely gaining popularity outside the traditional venues of country clubs and golf rooms and turning up on the walls of banks, law offices and corporate board rooms. What makes photos of golf courses so popular?
Artistry
Some of the best sports and landscape photographers in the world turn their hand to creating photos of golf courses and golf tournaments. It’s no secret that golf courses include some of the most stunning scenery in the world, and golf course photographs take full advantage of the gorgeous greens, stretches of water and beautiful landscaping. Even those who don’t recognize the golf holes represented – and many of them are among the most famous and best known vistas in the world – can’t help but be drawn into the scene. Whether you choose the drama of waves breaking against the cliffs at Pebble Beach, the serenity of Harbour Town Golf Links at Sunset or the arresting beauty of Augusta #12, the Golden Bell at Augusta National Golf Club, a professionally matted and framed golf course photograph is the perfect accent for nearly any corporate or commercial setting.
History
Golf photography creates a connection to cultural history in a way no other type of artwork can. Famous photographs of well-known spots, such as the Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course at St. Andrews, the Amen Corner at Augusta National or Pebble Beach #7, capture both the intrinsic beauty of the landscape and the skill level required to navigate the scenic features while playing the game of kings. Any avid golfer will immediately recognize the 7th hole at Pebble Beach or the deceptively smooth curves of the water hazard at the 15th hole at TPC Sawgrass.
Style
Elegantly matted and framed, golf photographs add a distinguished and classic style to any room’s décor. When you choose golf art from a trusted, reputable dealer, you often have the choice to have your purchases beautifully framed and affixed with a title plaque. The result is a museum quality display that adds distinction to your waiting room, corporate boardroom or office.
You’ll find a wide selection of photos of golf courses around the country and around the world. You can’t go wrong when you hang your favorite golf course on your wall.
