Irons & Ales recently opened its doors to the public on June 22nd. This state-of-the-art indoor golf facility moved into an iconic Athens building, the old Sunbeam Bread Factory.

The owners, Ryan and Renee Gilroy, and Michelle Lacrosse-Yawney, moved to Athens from Connecticut and Arizona. They fell in love with the charm of small town Athens and decided that it was the perfect place to open up Irons & Ales.
