Lions Municipal Golf Course has long been one of the City's most popular courses. In 1924, the Lions Club opened Lions Municipal, the first public golf course in the city. The group leased part of UT's Brackenridge Tract and converted the property into a nine-hole facility. The course was later expanded to 18 holes. The course retained the name "Lions Municipal" or "Muny" after the transfer of the lease to the city in 1936.
