Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among perceived restorative environment, place attachment and revisitation intention for golf resort customers of the middle-ages and the elderl.
 Method: To achieve the goal of this study, a total of 220 questionnaires were distributed. Out of those returned questionnaires, insincerely replied or double-replied questionnaires were excluded and finally 215 questionnaires were analyzed for this study. The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling using SPSS Version 18.0 and Amos 18.0 program.
 Results: Main findings were as follows: First, perceived restorative environment had a positive effect on place attachment. Second, place attachment had a positive effect on revisitation intention. Third, perceived restorative environment had a no effect on revisitation intention. Fourth, place attachment mediated the relationship between perceived restorative environment and revisitation intention.
 Conclusion: In-depth consideration of the perceived restorative environment will be necessary as a strategy to improve the golf resort's sense of place attachment in order to not only attract customers but also to ensure a healthy and happy retirement for middle-aged and elderly golf resort users.
 Interdisciplinary Research Implications: The results of this study are meaningful in establishing strategies for attracting customers to golf resorts and providing basic data to continue the popularization of golf.
