Lions Municipal Golf Course opened in 1924. It was Austin's first public course. In 1950, it quietly became the first desegregated public course south of the Mason-Dixon line. Now it's getting the renovation it deserves.
Coore & Crenshaw — the same architects behind Sand Valley and Streamsong — are doing the restoration, and they're doing it for free. New clubhouse. A teaching center. Trails connecting the course to Town Lake. This isn't a tear-down. It's a revival of a course that helped shape Austin's relationship with public golf. Ben Crenshaw learned the game here. So did Tom Kite. The bones of Lions Muny have always been there. The city is finally investing in making sure they last another hundred years.
