The short answer

Every photograph on the Chestatee Golf Guide is a real, credited image from Wikimedia Commons under CC0 or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licences. None shows Chestatee Golf Club itself: golf photos are other Georgia courses and say so, and Lake Lanier photos are not claimed for the Chestatee shore. Nothing is generated.

The film on the home page

The film at the top of the home page is cut from six of the photographs credited on this page: five of Lake Lanier (none claimed for the Chestatee shore) and the Dawson County ridges from Amicalola Falls Lodge. No openly licensed photograph of Chestatee Golf Club itself was available, so the film does not show the course. Slow pans and cross-fades only; nothing in it is generated.
