Situated next to the putting green between holes nine and ten, 9 1/2 Bar & Kitchen is the ideal watering-hole for hungry and thirsty golfers before they tee off, half way through their round, after they finish, or indeed at all three times. Delicious house made grab-n-go or grab-n-stay food, coffee, cocktails, beer and wine. Open to golfers and non-golfers, and anyone who appreciates lakeside bites and libations.
