Golf has been played on the Moon

The answer is True.

Explanation

Alan Shepard, commander of Apollo 14, hit two golf balls on the Moon on February 6, 1971. He used a makeshift club created by attaching a Wilson Staff Dyna-Powered 6-iron head to the handle of a lunar sample collection tool. Restricted by his bulky pressure suit, he swung one-handed, and both balls are still on the Moon today.
