What Is A Golf Vacation?
The idea of a vacation for British people started in Victorian times when families would escape the industrial cities and spend a weekend at the seaside. Then in the 1960's, the caravan boom arrived. These hobby specific getaways and golf is at the top of the list because it is a game people can enjoy at all ages and abilities. Not only that, the surroundings are much more a factor than other sports like tennis or football where the venue is less important. In Golf you have different grass, different views, wildlife, weather, conditions, different courses (for example links or parkland). Holidays have always been about where to go and how to get there. Now they are much more about what you do. People want to share their hobby while on a break, so they want a holiday that allows them to do that. This how the whole golfing vacation industry has grown.
