Golf Course Rehab
$0 cost to your course

We film your renovation. The state funds it.

Golf Course Rehab does not renovate golf courses. Your own architect and contractors do that. We document and film the project, and we finance production through state film office incentives. It costs your course nothing beyond administrative assistance.

How it is funded

State film office incentives pay for production

Many states reward film and television productions that shoot and spend locally. We structure each project to qualify and handle the filing. Programs, requirements and approval timelines vary by state, and eligibility is determined by each state film office.

A point of contact

One person at the course who can coordinate access and answer questions.

Your schedule

Your construction timeline and key milestones so we can plan filming days around your crews.

Signed releases

A location release and releases for staff and members who appear on camera, using our templates.

Records for the state

Help gathering local contractor and vendor details that the state film office requires. We prepare and file the paperwork.

That is the full administrative ask. There is no production fee at any stage.

All questions

Nothing. Golf Course Rehab costs the golf course $0. Production is financed through state film office incentives, and the only thing we ask of the course is administrative assistance such as scheduling, site access, permissions and paperwork.

Golf Course Rehab is financed through state film office incentive programs. Many states reward film and television productions that spend money and hire crew locally. dakdan entertainment structures each project to qualify under the host state's program, which pays for the production. Eligibility and approval are determined by each state film office.

The course continues to fund and manage its own renovation exactly as it already planned. Golf Course Rehab does not add a production fee, and it does not pay for or take over the renovation. If your course is already planning an irrigation, clubhouse, pro shop, greens or full renovation project, we document it.

Administrative assistance means a point of contact, access to the property and key staff on filming days, the renovation schedule, signed filming and location releases, and help gathering records that the state film office requires, such as local vendor and contractor information. We provide templates and handle the filing process.

A state film office incentive is a program, often a tax credit or rebate, that a state offers to film and television productions that shoot and spend money in that state. Programs, requirements and approval timelines vary by state, and not every state is currently accepting applicants.

Eligibility depends on whether your state's film office has an active incentive program that fits a series like ours. Apply from any state. We will confirm your state's program and timing with you before anything is signed.

Submit the free application at golfcourserehab.com/apply. The team reviews every application and selects projects based on the scope and timing of the renovation, the story, the state's incentive program and the owner's willingness to be filmed.

Irrigation upgrades, greens and bunker renovations, clubhouse and pro shop remodels, drainage work, restaurant and event space upgrades and full course renovations can all qualify. The project should already be planned, funded by the course, and scheduled so filming can begin before or during construction.

Yes. The course keeps its architect, contractors, budget and decisions. Filming and release terms, including how the course and its people are portrayed, are set in a written agreement before filming begins.

No. Applying is free and carries no obligation. There is no production fee at any stage.

Yes. Public, municipal, semi-private, private and resort courses can all apply. Municipal courses are a strong fit because parks and recreation departments often already have a renovation capital plan in motion.
