Lions Municipal Golf Course

Played the course many times over the years. The greens were in very good shape, which pulls out the essence of this course. Played on a weekday when it was hot, but cruised through with a sub 4 hour round. Really glad to see the old course in good shape during this super hot central Texas summer. Staff is laid back, as you would expect in Austin. Everyone there knows it’s a blessing to play this course right in the middle of our growing city, and that also adds to the enjoyment of the round. Play it! You won’t be disappointed.

Always enjoy myself at the muni - great people and the course always seems to be in great condition!

We had a great time, very relaxing, beautiful scenery. Well-kept grounds, and all the kids working there friendly.

Great little track for all golfers to play. Played worse, played better. This is what a typical municipal golf course is like and I’m glad it’s still around. Stays pretty busy, so don’t expect to finish your round in record time. Just a nice overall golf, enjoyed being out there.

The last time I played Lions/Munny I was in my early 30's, today I'm76 and the course is so much better. while the layout is basically the same it is in excellent condition.

it brought back a lot of great memories of Austin.

I booked this round off a Hot Deal. I'd never played here, so I didn't know what to expect. It's a city municipal course that seems pretty relaxed.

The course is in good shape. The staff seemed pretty friendly. And the club house was better stocked that some other private courses in the area.

I saw the marshall several times in the round. The pace was a little slow at time, but was able to finish a round in just under 4 hours.

I'll definitely play here again.

Enjoyed this course..it is a classic with history and quite an asset to this area. Gem of a muni that could be one of the best with a little more TLC and grooming. Fun layout, funky in spots but no bad holes. Staff were very helpful.

Just a shorter review (even though I'll still write more than most -- to note a few things from my recent round.

This course is popular because of its location, lack of other courses nearby, its history, difficulty level, and price. It sees a lot of golfers ... and maybe a few extras that aren't that good at the game. So, the tees are currently beat to heck. It's the beginning of spring and everyone is getting out to play. I wish the course could increase (lengthen) the size of some of the greens. But they're also limited on space as this course will built a long time ago and they pretty much used all of the land they had available to them. I'm just trying to figure out how they can move the tee markers up/back more often to allow for divots to be repaired by whatever means.

The fairways were fine but on the tail end of winter grass conditions. Hopefully spring will bring them back to life. The bunkers were in great shape but was that sand or dirt? Looks like a soft dirt to me; maybe I need to research or ask about it to be sure. At least it was fresh, clean, and lacking little rocks etc. The greens were in really good shape ... even rolling a little slow today actually.

We saw a course marshal several times. That's not always the case. And this was on a Monday late afternoon. He was mainly checking to see that pace of play was going okay. The groups in front of us included a single, a 2-some, a 5-some of high school boys not putting out, and another single. I think they all simply played the front nine and left. So the back nine was much smoother. Odd that the only tee time I could get for my 2-some was at 3:00pm though. SMH. No worries; all good.

It was a fun 9 holes! I'll be back ASAP for a full 18 when I have time! Not the best weather to play in but a good time regardless. The course was in good shape considering...at least the front 9.

Always love Muny. Greens were very shaggy, it was like putting uphill into the wind on a surface of molasses. But either way it is always a great track.

I haven’t played here in about a year, Staff was friendly and i love the breakfast taco place that’s on site. Fairways were average and tee boxes below average, what really was awful were the greens. Compared to the other local muni’s like kizer/clay, they are so bad. I didn’t even try to read putts, as it’s basically different sizes of grass on the greens. Only reason it’s a 2 star is because of the taco place/pace of play was good.
