Lions Municipal Golf Course

I played Lyons on a Monday that I booked thru GN for $36.00. On Mondays Lyons runs a special for $25.00 all day tee times. So if your going to book a tee time on a Monday you should just book it with golf course.

Convenient Location and great Muny course. I'll play Lions again.

Greens are questionable, perhaps due to all the rain we've been having, and indicate root system issues. Greens were running at about 6.5 - 7. Cloudy, rainy weather giving way to direct sunlight and warmer growing conditions should help.

We played on a Sunday. The course was packed and it took right at 5 hours to play.

Despite these issues, Muny has a quirky charm that makes it fun to play regardless.

They punched the greens today. Overall course was decent. Not bad for price and a little bit of history.

I try to play Lions every year...this time I had my grandson with me and it was really fun. Notorious for long rounds we played in 4:15 which I find pretty decent on a Muny. Lots of great 1920's architecture here and some really cool shots like 12 and 16 entries to the greens...excellent. Grandson couldn't figure out the greens, grain, slope, speed...I love putting here...fun!
Grandson birdied 9, 10 and 18 so we had a great day.

Good course, got a great rate on golfnow for $10. Had to take advantage of that. It was busy and they paired me with a couple of guys and that was o.k but one guy made the front nine uncomfortable due to his throwing of clubs and kicking of his ball due to him missing putts. Still had a good time as I ditched him at the turn. Will still play again.

Staff and Golfers were very friendly and good natured, we had a great time for a Municipal Public Golf Course built 1n 1928 / City of Austin Parks property since 1934

Course is very well kept and is moderately challenging with all the lakes and wooded areas though out the 18 holes we played.... Great Value, we recommend it!

Definitely a course that one needs to play often to get a feel for the greens. I expected them to be slow but several putts were fast and others extremely slow. Also difficult to judge whether uphill or downhill, and i guessed wrong several times. Pace of play not great - i believe it took us at least 4 1/2 hours. Great old course - i have played off and on for about 50 years - mostly off. General condition of course was better than i expected, considering the amount of play it gets and being a municipal course.

Played Saturday morning. Only bad thing I can say was that I got stuck behind a 5 some that were all walking so pace of play was slow but other than that is was great. Course was in really good condition, part of which i think was because they just hosted an UIL tournament. Will always play this course while in Austin.

First time playing this course with a couple buddies. It was surprisingly lush and private feeling considering you're basically in downtown Austin. Great trees and well maintained course. We will be back soon and may even bring the dog!

Great value! Tee boxes and fairways were awesome. Everything was green, green, green. Greens have nice rollers in them but were slow and bumpy.

Hello, We had a great time. My wonderful wife hit the ball very well, she loves playing Lions golf course. We both scored in the low 80s. It had been a month or more since we had played last. Thank you for the review, GOD BLESS!!!

Lions is always a nice and fun course. You won't be upset if youve never played here. Back 9 is very scenic.

We really enjoyed the different shots you get to play. Pace of play really slowed down on the back 9.

Lions is a historic gem in the middle of Austin. Play it before it goes away.

A LOT of rocks if you miss the fairways. Winter conditions; fairways mostly dead. Greens in good shape. Bunkers in good shape. Always loved this course except for balls incoming from adjacent holes.

Lions can be easy and tough at the same time. For the amount they ask, there are better course in Austin.

The fairways are hard so you will get roll out of every shot. The problem is the greens. I know its the beginning of the season, so I am not concerned just yet. Give it a couple months and the grass will grow. I plan to be back in the Summer.

Maybe the first nice day in a while brought everyone out but the course seemed to have overbooked. We teed off at 11:36a and were behind two foursome younger players out to have fun and by the turn we were waiting 20 minutes on #10. It makes for a terrible day if you are trying to play your best.

This course has good features but the weather was very cold.

Over the last couple of years lions over all condition has came a long way, unfortunately I have heard they will be shutting down around 2019. Even though it was pretty packed the pace of play was great!!! Love playing this corse, isnt to difficult but some holes can be challenging.
