Golfers' Choice 2021: Top 25 golf courses for Off-Course Amenities

Top facilities, such as a nice range and clubhouse, can be the differentiator for many clubs.
Streamsong Black - clubhouse
The new Streamsong Black clubhouse features a golf shop and the Bone Valley Tavern.

Having a great course is one thing, but having the full package of amenities takes things next level.

Only the best facilities offer a nice driving range, pro shop, restaurant, bar and locker rooms in a comfortable clubhouse, and then extend these luxuries out onto the course with the beverage cart, well-appointed comfort stations and clean bathrooms during the round.

We've analyzed your ratings and reviews from 2020 to find the facilities with the best marks for these off-course amenities. The vast majority of our top-rated courses for off-course amenities are multi-course properties or are located in resort areas. These places are trying to sell a golf "experience" instead of just a round of golf.
