I know that we have had this thread before, but we are sitting on the patio overlooking the 18th at Mid Pines on a spectacular Carolina day. Difficult to think of a better 19th hole venue.

Pebble Beach, Augusta, Whistling Straits,

Do I really need to shout out Gleneagles SF? There is patio with a quasi-bar overlooking the 9th/18th which leads to hilarious cheers and jeers as folks take on the brutal tiered green.
You haven’t really played there until you’ve been heckled for falling short putting up the mackenzie and then rolling back, past where you’re standing, and off the green. But putting one close will get you a standing ovation.

I am kinda partial to this view from the porch at Musgrove Mill.

I have a very vivid memory of sitting outside the bar at Saunton, as the Sun was setting many years ago. Spectacular.
The outside seating at Crail can be pretty good on a nice evening. Surely CPC is in the conversation? I am very fond of the patio area at Elie.

I can't look beyond Woking.

For not having an ocean view, I really thought for the expansive views Piping Rock was great. It is long and narrow, but overlooks the huge old polo field.(https://www.athomestudytravel.com/album/program/small/2af95790c9978c2584453c366b0ac429.jpg)

Lots of great ones with many different vibes, but for views it's tough to beat Old Head on a sunny day and for intimacy it's tough to beat Dunes Club.

There is nothing like incorporating the house amenity areas with the course. Woking does it about well as well as well can be.

The Park Club patio is amazing view of 18.

So many special ones but I've always been partial to Shinnecock as the sun is setting over the course

The patio view at TPC Jasna Polana is beautiful.
-
There are so many great places. Mid Pines is pretty darn good.
Ben's Porch at Sand Hills? Wonderful.
Sitting behind the 9th hole at WBYC having a drink watching balls roll down the hill toward the hole is fun.
The covered patio between the pro shop and locker room at Shoreacres...delightful.
I think I'm realizing I enjoy 19th holes more than I typically like the preceeding 18?! ;D ;)
-
There is no experience like hitting a second shot into 18 at Caledonia on a weekend afternoon. The patio is jammed with overserved bros on mancations, and the chirping is ruthless and constant. Oh, and the view from up there is pretty nice, too.
-
Bulls Bay is pretty special.

An October view from the patio at Ballyhack is pretty nice.

Last fall, on a perfect October afternoon.

On a nice sunny summer day, Wallasey Golf Club in England and Kilspindie in Scotland provide a comfortable setting and great view of the 18th green. The empty pint glasses pile up. In particular Kilspindie is right on top of the situation. No attorney, insurance provider, architect nor operator in America would allow such proximity. Still it seems to work. I would post some pictures but this web site has never made that easy for this lazy contributor.
-
Great call on Kilspindie. It perfectly fits the ethos/ambience of the club.
-
Valley Club deserves mention.

"Valley Club deserves mention."
Yes it does.

I would second The Valley Club and include Monterrey Peninsula Country Club, overlooking the Ocean.
I will submit a third one to top all, in a couple of months.
