Aside from enjoyment, there's physical fitness from all the walking, and it increases both lower and upper body strength.

Benefits:
1) Physical fitness, walking 18 holes with a bag full of metal clubs is tough. You can build up your strength and stamina.
2) It's a fun way to release some stress. You hit a bad shot, who cares you got 70 more coming.
3) Time away from the lady at home. You can go drink some beers with your fellow guy friends.
4) You only really play golf when its nice outside, so every time you're on the course you think its a beautiful game to play
5) Most business executives play golf and end up doing deals on the course. You get further in business if you can play golf.
6) If you really get good, you can make some money at rournaments.
7) Anyone can play, even if you're not the strongest, quickest, most coordinated or smartest, you can still play golf well.

If you are lucky enough to find yourself on a golf couse... You're on a golf course. By all means, you need to wear sunblock. Stop playing and look around you. You're surrounded by fields of green. Lush trees. Song birds. Gentle breezes. You're challenging yourself at all times. Unlike other sports where you are reacting, in golf you are planning and acting. You think before each shot. It is a test of your mental toughness and integrity. Are you going to allow yourself to fall into the easy traps of changing you lie? Or are you going to play an honest game and hit from the true original lie. It is good for the mind, the body and the sole. And there is no greater feeling of accomplishment then beating a tough course.

If you'er not riding a cart, it's an excellent form or excercise... and even if you ARE taking a cart, you're still doing a fair amount of walking and using your muscles, cardio vascular system, and circulating lymph to help with your immune system.
Golf is very much a psychological game as well... and the more you play and THINK about the game, strategy or otherwise, you're using your brain more. The more you think, plan, and strategize, the sharper your mind gets...
Socially, golf is a great way to break the ice with people... or socialize with your friends.
Also... the beer-cart girls are typically pretty cute, so, who knows... maybe you could meet someone.
Best I've got...

there are benefits to staying in the sun for hours and hours and getting skin cancer? check the stats on how many golfers suffer facial skin cancer and you'll never go near a golf course again.

Ummmm....extreme frustration, fatigue, bad knees/elbows, calluses, I guess the beer girl is a benefit, along with the beer.

2. Networking.
3. Best of all... 19th hole!

The bar at the clubhouse. In fact...the least amount of swings at the ball...the higher your score. So why play at all?
