Dine in a spirited Irish Pub with panoramic views of the award-winning Ballyowen Golf Club. Owen's Pub 9th Hole is open throughout golf season and serves an all-day menu highlighted with Celtic fare, plus an extensive collection of Scotch. A bagpiper, dressed in full regalia, performs on a grassy knoll outside the pub daily — much to the delight of both diners and golfers.
