"Two-Player Rounds Lead the Way... This Summer's Golf Vacation Trend"

Pursuing Small but Highly Satisfying Experiences
Preference for Low-Pressure, Small-Group Rounds
Golden Bay and Gunsan Country Club Among Popular Golf Destinations

The landscape of golf vacations is changing.

The "golf trip for two"—where couples, partners, or two friends travel together—has become a new kind of holiday. This trend is driven by a growing consumer preference for "small but highly satisfying experiences." In golf as well, there is a clear shift toward small-group rounds that allow people to travel on their preferred dates without the burden of assembling a large group. Resort packages that combine self-play, which reduces caddie fees, with accommodations are gaining popularity.

Golden Bay in Taean, Chungnam is a prime example. It offers packages where guests can enjoy premium resort accommodations and rounds of golf, along with the option to play without a caddie. Gunsan Country Club and JNJ Golf Resort have garnered steady interest from savvy golfers by providing self-play packages that minimize caddie fees. Yeosu The Ocean Country Club and Geoje View Country Club have introduced resort-style golf travel packages. Gochang Country Club also allows for a relaxed round for two people at a relatively reasonable cost.

Golf reservation platforms are also responding to this trend by expanding exclusive packages for two players and no-caddie options at major golf courses across the country. The way people consume golf vacations is changing, with trips now combining not just rounds of golf but also accommodations, leisure, and sightseeing.
