72 Lounge & Green on 18
Two tiers of the same Championship Pavilion on the 18th green — casual lounge or seated 3-course lunch.
The Championship Pavilion is Wentworth's biggest hospitality building, sitting right on the 18th green, and it holds a stack of different packages at different price points rather than one single experience. Two of them are worth understanding together, because they're really the entry point and the mid-tier of the same building.
72 Lounge, from £370 per person, made its debut in 2025 and sits in the heart of the Championship Village close to the 18th green and the Show Stage. It's unreserved seating, a mix of indoor and outdoor space, casual breakfast and lunch with a variety of bowl foods and cuisines, a complimentary bar, and access to a seat in the 18th Green Grandstand reserved until 4pm. It's the most laid-back of Wentworth's premium tiers, closer to a relaxed lounge than formal hospitality.
Green on 18, from £750 per person, is the step up: ground-level hospitality inside the Championship Pavilion itself, with private tables in a shared dining area, a 3-course lunch served with wine, and all-day access to a covered, spacious greenside terrace directly overlooking the 18th. It's a genuinely different format from 72 Lounge, seated dining rather than casual bowl food, and a terrace view rather than a grandstand seat.
New for 2026, a 72 Signature Lounge has also been added on the upper deck of the same building, with sweeping views over the Village and its own access to the 18th Grandstand — worth knowing about if the standard 72 Lounge sells out or you want the elevated vantage point specifically.
Why it's special
What I like about laying these two out together is that they make an honest case for choosing based on what kind of day you actually want, not just how much you're willing to spend. 72 Lounge is for someone who wants to be near the golf and the Village atmosphere without committing to a formal meal. Green on 18 is for someone who wants a proper sit-down lunch with wine and a genuinely elevated view of the tournament's signature hole.
Both put you inside the same building on the same green, which matters more than the price difference suggests. You're not choosing between good and bad access, you're choosing between two different rhythms for the same excellent location.
Insider tips
- 1
72 Lounge only debuted in 2025 and demand has grown fast since — don't assume it's an easy last-minute booking the way a newer package might suggest.
- 2
Green on 18's covered terrace is the real differentiator from the indoor dining area — ask for it specifically when booking if an all-day outdoor view of the 18th matters to you.

What to avoid
Don't book Green on 18 expecting a casual, drop-in-and-out experience — it's a seated 3-course lunch format, which suits a slower day more than someone who wants to move freely between watching golf and eating.
