Even the dogs are understated at New Zealand!

I would have thought Queenswood's clubhouse was a large country house prior to the golf course, but i maybe wrong.

Jockey Club.  Second picture is my favorite halfway house I've encountered.  Maybe that should be a separate thread?

In my book it's all about St. George's Hill.  Coolest clubhouse hands down....

Bill-Does Liphook have the barber poles on all the holes at 150 out? I know the purists will sigh but I love them.

Not sure.  Hell, I can't remember what I had for lunch.  But I think only on obscured vision shots.   The one on 18 is at the top of a ridge you play over on your second shot.

Nice group of pictures but I am not sure about this being a list of Iconic Clubhouses. I got lost early with my favorite Manor House at Mountain Lake. It may well be a clubhouse but well maybe not. then a Trump anything. Then the hotel at Turnberry. The TPC Sawgrass was enough. There is nothing iconic about it.

Well, here's the problem with the term "Iconic"...bear with me.

First you had the authentic, minimalist clubhouses, the ones that bore a tremendous resemblance to a microbluff carved by sheep in search of shelter from the wind...

Afterward were forged all those penal clubhouses, the ones in which people got lost and sometimes injured...

Then came the runway clubhouses, the ones where you had a mile-long clubhouse precisely 12 feet wide...

Next were the neo-minimalist clubhouses, sometimes mistaken for holes in the ground made by burrowing animals or holes in trees, kind of like the lost boys in Peter pan...

So, what is iconic? who know, who cares, keep the pictures coming!

And, for the DBs who insist on making it a contest "The winner, hands down...blah blah blah" start your own thread.

So where do you place those wonderfully comfortable UK clubhouses?   Not "iconic," perhaps, but WOW!

Tim,

Its a marker post for the blind drive over a hill on the 18th at Liphook, not a yardage marker. If you play in the UK and see one of these, it will be a marker post for a blind drive or blind approach. I've never seen them in the middle of the fairway as yardage markers. They tend to be either discs set into the fairway, or if its a post it will be off to the side of the fairway in the rough.

Cheers,

James

ps As the thread goes on the clubhouses are getting better, less ostentatious, but also equally less iconic, which is a good thing!  ;D

George,

I was looking for a good picture of Chicago's Club House.  A classic.  Now if they only got with that whole newfangled air conditioner thing... :-\

Another one I admire for its simplicity and connection to the course.


I like Kiawah's as well.  If the first tee was where the practice ground is this would be an awesome house.
