This is quite a win win situation if time/expense allows.
Golf forces the player to become more technical... many tennis players can get by with faulty swings, because the margin for error is much larger... racket can still meet the ball, even if he just arms the ball, without all that core clearance... but if the same motion is used in golf, the player is in for a much bigger headache... club will dig into the ground all day, and ball wont even go 10 yards. Actually the average golfer, probably know a lot more technical stuff than the average tennis player.... balance, tempo, core clearance... if any is missing, golf makes you pay dearly... but the flaws may never be exposed on the tennis court, until the player runs into tougher competition.
Golf also brings better touch... working on chipping/pitching for a while, will train some really soft hands for those drop shots / drop volleys on the tennis court.
Golf is also a bonus sport for the tennis player.. if one can hit a down the line forehand correctly, he can play golf, it's such a short cut, a luxury that non tennis players can't have. The view is better than some cement rectangles in a steel wire cage, and it also gives the body some rest from all the pounding on the cement.
Highly recommended.
