Glenmalure Golf Club - Greenan

The clubhouse is situated just 100 meters away. The bar closes early in the evening sometimes around 21:00 but the timing depends on the golfers so don't depend on them for your evening meal!

M J. Byrne - Greenan

The nearest pub (apart from the club house one hundred meters away) is M J. Byrne just a mile down the road. If the establishment is not open give a knock on the door and one of the two Byrne brothers (both born in the 1920s when the pub was last renovated) would be delighted to open up for you. This pub, not one for those looking for some creature comforts, serves an excellent pint of Guinness and is only a short walk away.
