I believe the answer is:

toupee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hairpiece' is the definition.
(toupee is a kind of hairpiece)

'lifted on owen's head in part of golf course' is the wordplay.
'lifted' becomes 'up' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'part of golf course' becomes 'tee' ('tee' is part of 'golf course').
The first letter of 'owen' is 'o'.
'up' after 'o' is 'oup'.
'oup' going inside 'tee' is 'TOUPEE'.
