Resort is a place to go on for a holiday.
The sentence sounds incorrect because of the 'on'.The 'on' added after 'go' sounds like the phrase 'Go on', which means to keep going, and it makes the sentence obviously incorrect.
If the 'on' is used as a preposition, it would still be wrong. You can sit 'on' a chair, dance 'on' the bed and jump 'on' the floor, but you can not go 'on' a place.
The correct sentence would perhaps be:-
Resort is a place to go for a holiday.
