Golf travel agents book tee times, resorts, and packages for golfers. Niche demand, repeat clients, and clear expertise make this a steady and enjoyable specialty for the right agent.
Golf travelers care about courses, conditions, and the right mix of play and comfort. They’re often willing to pay for someone who knows the destinations and can secure access and good value. That’s the role of a dedicated golf travel agent.
Why golf works as a niche. Golfers plan trips around courses and seasons. They travel in groups and return to favorite regions. Your knowledge of courses, resorts, and packages becomes your edge. Commissions on resort and package bookings add up, and referrals among playing partners are common.
What you bring. You don’t have to be a scratch player. You need to understand key regions (Scotland, Ireland, Pebble Beach, etc.), what different skill levels and groups want, and how to book efficiently. A host with golf-friendly suppliers and training helps you get up to speed.
Next step. If you want to turn your knowledge of golf travel into a career, start as a travel agent with a host that supports niche specialists and keeps 100% of your commissions.
