Alan Shepard used a modified six iron during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.
The folding "sampling arm" he used to pick up rocks, had a specially made Golf club head that could be screwed on. When he was done, he brought this folding "space golf club" back to Earth, and it was presented to comedian Bob Hope, an avid golfer well beloved by all branches of service.

What brand and number of golf club was used to hit the first golf ball from the moon?
Alan Shepard had a golf club head made (a six iron, I think) that would screw on to the folding sampling arm normally used to pick up rocks. I watched on TV as he and the rest of the Apollo 14 crew presented this "folding golf club" to Bob Hope!
There is great debate over the origins of the game, but if you are talking about the modern version played over a course of multiple holes with multiple clubs, then most of the evidence points to Scotland in the late 1400's. There is no one person given credit for being the first, but sheep herders in the St. Andrews area are generally considered to have been the earliest "players".
The first man to play golf on the moon was NASA Astronaut Alan Shepard. He is the only person to have played golf on the moon.
