Are there still courses with billiard rooms anywhere?
Golf Course/W Pool Tables

I’ve never had the pleasure really. Tacoma Elks has billiards and owns the golf course. I think the course is public but the billiards is members only. Played a 3C tournament there. The snooker table at the Dormie House at Lytham gets talked about. I’ve never been there.
My club has one in the men's grill.
I wouldn't call it a billiards room though...

Linville Ridge GC in Linville, NC has a 9-foot antique Brunswick set up in the club’s grill room - one of numerous antique Brunswick tables owned by the club’s founder/owner. I don’t think it gets much play.
Billiards/pool/etc.. have lost quite a bit of cachet as a gentlemen's pastime in the USA, probably started to decline from the times men only clubs started to become un-popular.
The few I've seen, were usually in the basement of the clubhouse.
The only pool tables I can remember seeing recently at golf courses were at Rustic Canyon GC (6 footer) and StoneTree GC.
Most private clubs in the US have more than enough room for a pool table or two. If demand existed they would be there, but unfortunately demand doesn’t exist.
The California GC, one of the only all-male clubs on the west coast, has a former smoking and card room that is unsightly, largely disused and begging for a pool table. It shows has far pool has fallen in the eyes of rich people that even those guys don’t have one.
