Ryder Cup's insane alcohol prices include $15 Michelob Ultras

If 2025 Ryder Cup fans want to have some cocktails at Bethpage, they'd better be prepared to spend most of their hard-earned paycheck.

It can be argued that the Ryder Cup is even more popular than the Masters.

What certainly can't be argued is the legendary cheap prices of the food and alcohol at Augusta National Golf Club will never be matched, and that is abundantly clear after seeing the booze prices for the 2025 Ryder Cup in Farmingdale, New York at the legendary open-to-the-public Black Course of Bethpage State Park.

How crazy are the prices? How about a Michelob Ultra for $15. That's about the cost of a 12-pack in most of the United States.

Don't worry, you can get a "European Import" for a dollar more at $16. What's the European import you ask? Stella Artois. A Wicked Weed Pernicious IPA will cost you $19.

An "All-American Transfusion" and something called a "Mulligan" will cost you $19.50, and if you need a little pick-me-up for the early morning rounds, a classic bloody Mary is $17.50. The same goes for the offered mixed drinks.

It'll be a party-like atmosphere all weekend between Team USA and Team Europe. Too bad it'll cost you a lot to have a rocking good time.
