A golfing vacation can often require more planning than a normal vacation and one of the first things you need to consider is who to go with, if anyone. Because it is a specialist holiday, it is often best to go with fellow golf enthusiasts. Going alone can sometimes work out well also and there is a lot less planning to do. The more people you go with, the more complicated things can get, so it can be far less frustrating and sometimes better value to have everything handled by a travel agency.
