Do you think there is a market for an area golf tour guide?

I live in an area with a population of approximately 150 thousand. Want to as a guide for new golfers, people who travel on business and / or tourists. Can you tell me if you think there would be no market for that service? If so, how much do you think I should charge? I want to go anywhere golfers are, (hotels or whatever) pick and golf with them in the areas best golf golf. I can also take them to the best restaurants, attractions, etc. Any ideas would be great! Thank you!

First of all I like your idea a lot! sounds pretty cool and I think it could be promising. If there is a lot of good courses in your area, and tourism is something protruding from his city in which I could have a market for this. Try to find as much information as possible about how people move to their city, I think this gives you a good idea of whether or not make it happen or not. Regards, and good luck!
