Nineteenth hole

In golf, the nineteenth hole is a slang term for a pub, bar, or restaurant on or near the golf course, very often the clubhouse itself.[1] A standard round of golf has only eighteen holes,[2] so golfers will say they are at the 'nineteenth hole', meaning they are enjoying a drink after the game. The concept is similar to Après-ski in skiing.[3]

The 19th hole on miniature golf courses is often a hole in which if a hole-in-one is scored, one receives a free game.[4]
