The Rise of Muni Golf Culture — And Why Eager Eagle Is Built for It
Once overlooked, municipal golf courses are making a serious comeback — and they’re changing the game in all the right ways.
From sun-up tee times with your regular crew to $5 hot dogs at the turn, muni golf is where the heart of the sport really lives. At Eager Eagle Golf, we’re not chasing luxury resorts or tour sponsorships. We’re built for the muni crowd — the grinders, the scramblers, the “hit another one” legends who know every inch of their local track. And if you ask us? That’s where the magic is.
What Is Muni Golf — And Why Is It Booming?
Municipal golf courses (or "munis") are public tracks owned and operated by cities or counties. They’re affordable, accessible, and community-driven — a far cry from the exclusivity of private clubs. Thanks to a wave of new golfers, pandemic-era comebacks, and a renewed love for casual play, muni golf is cooler than ever.
- Twilight rounds that feel like summer camp for adults
- Scrambles with your friends, not your boss
- No dress codes, no pretense — just good golf and good vibes
The Muni Golfer Starter Pack (You Might Already Qualify)
- You keep your tees, glove, and ball marker in your car at all times.
- Your group texts have tee times, not dinner plans.
- You’ve played the same $27 loop so many times you name your slices by hole.
Muni golf isn’t about perfect swings — it’s about showing up, grinding it out, and loving the game in its rawest form.
