Singapore, October 8 2018 — Underlining the increasingly key role played by golf course superintendents, course conditioning is the single most important factor in the decision-making process of golfing tourists.
That is among the main findings from a survey jointly conducted by the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) and Golfasian, one of the region’s foremost golf tour operators.
Based on the responses of more than 100 Golfasian clients who have taken golfing trips in the past three months, course design ranked second behind course conditioning with ease of local logistics (transportation) coming third.
The survey asked golfers to rank the most important features of their overseas golf experience from 14 options.
The list of the top seven was:
- Golf Course Conditioning
- Golf Course Design
- Local Logistics
- Cost of Greens Fees
- Weather
- Caddies
- Pace of Play
- Reliability/Honesty
- Knowledge/Expertise
- Prompt response/Good and clear communication, attention to detail
- Price must match quality of service.
