When we first spoke to Wearside Golf Club, the situation was one we recognise at clubs all over the country. A great course, a welcoming atmosphere, loyal members — but almost nothing happening online. No consistent social media, no paid advertising, and a website that wasn't bringing in a single new enquiry.
Meanwhile, potential members and visiting golfers were scrolling past every day, completely unaware the club existed. Green fee income was being left on the table. Open competitions were undersubscribed. The club was relying entirely on word of mouth — and hoping for the best.
Sound familiar? That's exactly where we come in.
One of the most scenic courses in the North East — the River Wear, the iconic Penshaw Monument, and 18 beautifully maintained holes. Our team produced this course flyover in-house, giving Wearside a stunning piece of content no other local club can match.
Most golf clubs have a Facebook page. Very few actually use it well. Within weeks of taking over Wearside's social media, the numbers told a clear story — more people seeing the club, more non-members discovering it for the first time, and a membership community that finally felt connected.
Most clubs have never run a single Facebook ad. Those that have often spent money without knowing whether it worked. We do things differently — every campaign is tightly targeted at local golfers in the right age group, in the right postcodes, at the right time.
For Wearside's Open Comps 2026, we put a £150 budget to work and reached 5,700 unique people — each seeing the ad an average of four times. That repetition matters: it's what turns a scrolling golfer into a paying entry. The result was a 148% uplift in competition income and a 2,593% return on the ad spend. All from a budget smaller than a round of drinks for four.
"Pin High Media have completely transformed Wearside Golf Club's digital presence. From engaging daily content to professional advertising campaigns, they helped us modernise, attract new visitors, and increase revenue — one campaign alone delivered a 148% income boost and over 2,500% ROI. I'd highly recommend their services to any club wanting real results."— Gary Hope, Treasurer, Wearside Golf Club
Every month without a proper digital presence is another month of green fees, competition entries, and new memberships going to someone else. Let's have a no-obligation conversation about what we could do for your club.
