Save Muny. For Good.

The Muny Conservancy was created to end an unpredictable leasing loop and raise dollars for the purchase, renovation and enhancement of the 141-acre site Lions Municipal Golf Course has occupied for nearly a century. We are dedicated to preserving affordable golf, accessibility, the history of Muny and promoting the game for future generations to enjoy.

GIVE TODAY

CALL TO ACTION: The City of Austin conducted a virtual stakeholder meeting on Monday, June 21 to hear public input on zoning for the Brackenridge Tract and MUNY! Between 85-90% of the speakers advocated for the preservation of the golf course, and I was told by scores of others that they were not able to get on the City site during the hearing. Little movement has taken place since the virtual hearing, but please continue to speak up for the permanent preservation of the entire, historic Lions Municipal Golf Course site (141 acres). To be counted as a stakeholder, please send your name and address to the case manager and let her know you would like to be notified and give input at any future hearings.

Your legacy course.

Saving Muny for good is going to take more than your average grassroots fundraiser. Once we own the historic course, we can preserve it for another 100 years; this time as a self-sustaining endeavor open to the public, and affordable for all.

Now’s the time to add your name to the list of Austinites who stepped up to protect the deep roots Lions Municipal Golf Course has in our city.

MORE ABOUT MUNY

“As a native Austinite and product of The University of Texas, I will stake my reputation to protect Muny. Our goal is to find a win-win solution that preserves this gem as an affordable, public golf course and green space for future generations to enjoy.”

Muny Conservancy Co-Chair

STAND WITH BEN

Muny has big plans.

Can’t you just feel the excitement of public events, young golfers learning the game and fine-tuning their skills, and for a new generation to continue the passion for this historic place? Once we complete the acquisition of the course by the Muny Conservancy our plans include renovating the existing clubhouse, having Coore-Crenshaw do a historic renovation of the golf course, expand the driving range, add new public areas for games and special events, and add a museum paying tribute to Austin's golf legacy and especially the historic desegregation that took place at Lions in 1950. In the future plans also include a new entrance, more parking and a new clubhouse with an expanded pro shop, meeting rooms and a restaurant/bar for the public to enjoy. And we promise to keep golf affordable and available to all Austinites.
