In keeping with the long tradition of Austin Golf, Lions Municipal Golf Course has served it's citizens since 1934 and has long been the city's most popular course. Constructed originally by the Lions Club in 1928, Lions has hosted notable golfers, including Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and of course Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw.

While "old muni" has changed over the years it remains a quality test but very playable course. Even through the course would be considered short by today's standards, its relatively narrow tree lined fairways and small greens provides a challenge to even the longest hitters.
