Golfers' Choice 2022: Top 25 Golf Courses for Off-Course Amenities

A nice range and clubhouse, plus other amenities, can be the differentiator for many clubs.
Mistwood Golf Club -- Clubhouse
Mistwood's 29,000-square foot clubhouse includes a restaurant and bar, banquet facility, golf shop and underground cart facility.

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 and clean bathrooms during the round. If you're truly lucky, there's a comfort station with free food and drink available.

We've analyzed your ratings and reviews from 2021 to find the clubs 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 an "experience" instead of just a round of golf.
