The land that Lions has been situated on since 1928 has been leased from the University of Texas. The golf course tract is part of a large parcel that also includes student housing, retail stores, restaurants, even the LCRA buildings.

As Austin has grown, especially in the last dozen years, property values in the area have gone through the roof and the University of Texas Regents have expressed a desire to develop the property. Ouch!

The Regents have had several meetings and there was a strong showing from golfers and others concerned, but it would appear that the wheels are in motion for development.

One probable solution for keeping the course would be for the city to start negotiations with the University. The is the start of the path of save Muny. Expressing your feelings to the Mayor and Council members would go a long way and it's as easy to do as sending an email.

To do so go to this link where you can send an email to city management in one easy form.

Thank you for your continued support.
