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

The golf 'experience' is more important than ever. These facilities get the little things right.
Golfers get happy when they see the Turning Stone beverage cart.

Many of the best golf experiences in the U.S. go above and beyond before and after the round itself. We've analyzed your ratings and reviews from 2019 to find the facilities with the best marks for off-course amenities. This includes amenities like the driving range, pro shop, restaurant, bar and locker rooms. It can even mean a great beverage cart and well-appointed comfort stations during the round.

The vast majority of our top-rated courses for off-course amenities are multi-course properties and resorts. Several are also casino-affiliated courses that know how to treat high rollers. But there are some 18-hole, semi-private clubs that made the list as well.

Be sure to tell us what stands out about the golf course experience on and off the course with a review of your own. Click here to review a golf course, whether it’s your first or your 100th.
