Sharing a drink after a round of golf is one of life’s great joys whether you’re celebrating a win, commiserating a loss, catching up on the live sport or laughing about your mate’s top off the first tee, the sports bar or beer garden is often where the fun really starts. And with the weather improving, nights lasting longer and the COVID roadmap in place, that first thirst-quenching sip is waiting…

So, if you’re like us, and want great après golf facilities that equal the quality of the course, we’ve detailed below nine of the best golf resorts with excellent outdoor drinking and dining areas.

Twenty Ten – Celtic Manor

Celtic Manor is one of the UK’s most popular resorts for a golf break and for good reason. It’s a past Ryder Cup venue and has a certain ‘wow factor’, not to mention an iconic clubhouse that sits above the Twenty Ten Course offering excellent views out.

And whilst the Rafters Restaurant is a great dining experience, it’s the outdoor terrace where you’ll want to be for a post-round drink as you watch the sun setting behind the Welsh landscape and see fellow golfers approach the incredible 18th hole.

Off the course activities: Spa, swimming pool, fitness centre, fly fishing, tennis, archery, hiking
