A municipal golf course is a golf facility that is owned by a city or other municipality. Golfers pay a fee each time they visit a municipal course, and the fees may vary depending on whether they are residents or non-residents. Municipal courses are generally open to the public and offer reasonably priced outdoor recreation for local residents. They may offer motorized cart rentals, but many do not require golfers to use carts. They may also offer only limited food and beverage options. Examples of municipal golf courses include the Wilmington Municipal Golf Course in North Carolina, which was designed by Donald Ross in 1926 to provide the public with a quality, championship 18-hole golf course, and the Sanford Municipal Golf Course in North Carolina, which is a uniquely challenging course originally designed by Donald Ross in 1934.
