What is the coolest locker room you have been in, public or private?

I understand there is so much history in some locker rooms such as Seminole, Champions and Lochinvar. I would like to hear about locker rooms that you could stay in all day because of the food, bar, infamous card games or luxury!

"Can any of them play? Haha nah, not really! If they could then they wouldn't need you, would they!"

I think the coolest locker rooms are the old school ones at older clubs, small, wooden lockers, etc. But what you describe is different. Going by your definition I would say the locker room at Castle Pines was pretty incredible. Lots of room, tables, couches, food, tables for games.

Not the most whateverest as a building/amenities, but certainly one of the neatest views to have while tying your shoes. The practice green, beach and the water at Royal Porthcawl's locker room:

That is pretty amazing!

It's not that I don't like those locker rooms, they are classic! History has its place, hoping to hear about more modern places. Thank you for the reply!

The locker rooms in Inverness (Toledo Oh) and Chicago GC are both very cool / old school. I was in the locker room at Latrobe CC and saw Arnold's locker, which was like going back in history.
I was just in the new locker room at Harbour Town (Hilton Head SC) and it was pretty impressive - especially compared to the old Clubhouse. They really did do a great job on their new Clubhouse.

I've been all sorts of locker rooms - the super old school minimalist ones like at Merion with metal lockers and wooden benches, and the new school ones that are super luxurious, with heavy wood lockers and every amenity you could imagine, like at Bayonne.

I feel like I SHOULD like the first type better but gosh the new school ones are amazing haha

Quail Hollow & Eagle Point

Whisper Rock was awesome, seeing lockers for Phil, Elway, ect was pretty awesome, I have a bunch of pictures on my old phone I'll try to find them. The locker room at the Calgary Golf and Country Club is also awesome.

Oh forgot about Victoria Golf Club, theirs is pretty solid too.

Southern Hills and Pikewood National

Does anyone have inside pics of Sunningdale Golf Club? Tall order I know!

Atlantic City CC's locker room is pretty neat.

New Haven Country Club, over 100 years old, classic and unchanged from the original. Beustiful dark wood and lockers, card tables, etc. A true old fashioned mens locker room

Now that's what I'm talking about! Ocean Forest is classic with that modern touch! Thank you Capitalist!

Love the metal lockers at Peachtree!

I thought the locker room at Paiute north of Vegas was pretty nice. Nothing facing but very clean and modern.

I agree. Played wolf there a few years ago, and the locker room was nice. Wow at the windspeeds though!

Best Old School locker room I have been in goes to Oakmont. The shower feels like a waterfall. Merion would be 2nd, Medinah would be 3rd and Pine Valley would be 4th.

Best modern locker room I have been in goes to Bel Air Country Club. Cherokee Country Club has a really nice locker room; just there in the spring.


Coolest trivia I have for a locker room is that my father-in-law's locker at Merion was used by Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan during the U.S. Opens there.

Pretty sure Bobby Jones was retired before Merion hosted a US Open. Could have been during his US Am win though.

Bobby Jones used it when he clinched his grand slam there. I believe it was the amateur, but not sure.

Funny this topic should come up - I was in Champion's locker room today. Basic, very large, functional and populated with retirees, younger folks, and the same great staff. The place is just plain cool. And lastly - Iconic, especially when THE icon himself, JB, stopped by. A very interesting, wide ranging and memorable conversation ensued. The man looks fantastic - at 92!
