The Most Beautiful Clubhouse in Every State in America

Architectural Digest travels around the U.S. to reveal the most stunning buildings that very few ever get to see

From the ultramodern to the ultra-historic, the country-club clubhouse has always been a hub for fraternizing over an ice-cold drink after 18 holes or a few sets of tennis. But looks matter too. So we’ve rounded up the most beautiful clubhouse in each state, including a Frank Lloyd Wright design in Hawaii and an Illinois club modeled after a Turkish mosque. Of course, this final list reflects a range of styles, but all are distinctive—and most have features that reflect the spirit of their respective states. Since the focus here is on the facade of each clubhouse, not necessarily the interior, we have highlighted the standout settings of the buildings as well. In a nation with hundreds, if not thousands, of worthy contenders, the task of choosing just one from each state was by no means easy. And given the allegiance that often attends these institutions, there is certain to be some healthy—and welcome!—debate. Herewith, our list of the most beautiful clubhouse in every state.

Utah: Sand Hollow Resort, Hurricane

Sand Hollow Resort’s new 7,000-square-foot clubhouse is modern in style, but still manages to blend in seamlessly with the region’s striking red rocks. A full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows ensures unobstructed views of the sweeping fairways.
