In no particular order:

Upper Montclair's men's grill and upper locker room is one of my favorites. It's my understanding that the men's grill is open 24 hours.

Just came back from Sea Island and they might be struggling but the Lodge is the best for a resort.

Cassique Clubhouse at Kiawah.

I've been fortunate to be able to go into the ANGC clubhouse a couple of times during the Masters. Surprisingly intimate with nooks and crannies and great wall hangings.

The old cottage at Doonbeg holds a lot of memories.

none

but if forced, a 12 by 15 room with a bar/sandwich counter that sells golf balls with a bench to leave your shoes under.
(nothing I need to do besides that)

I tend to like those that sit on a highpoint that overlooks the course.....sort of makes you want to get straight back out there

Shinnecock Hills
Sunningdale
Riviera
Barwon Heads
Valley Club

NB: I hear the R&A's is pretty special with an ale in hand and hope to experience it one-day

Woking
Prestwick
Hoylake
Swinley Forest
New Zealand

Honourable Mention:

Kington - the simple house matches the course like no other

Ciao

In retrospect, I have to add in Gullane and likely drop Swinley.  I also like Worplesdon a lot.

How amny of those referencing Norht Berwick have been in the Tantallon Clubhouse?   I love the former but...

If anyone can put up a picture of the NB one I'll point it out.  The Tantallon is accross the road. What it looses in position (you can see the first but not 18th) it gains in

Thanks Jud.  The Tantallon Clubhouse can be seen over the extension to the new. The large window you wee is in a beuatiful old high ceiling room. It oozes old world charm. Views accroso the first to the sea.  A den to repair too with your mates.

Not sure if you can consider it a clubhouse but the Hideout at Sagebrush is a great place to spend some time.

Someone mentioned the clubhouse at Gallardia on OKC, it's big and fancy but doesn't strike me as a place I've come to play golf, more a place to have a wedding reception or a Bar Mitzvah. I don't like the places where they have or feel like they should have bathroom attendents.
