Changes to Moore Park Golf

Moore Park South

The NSW Government is transforming 20 hectares of Moore Park Golf Course into a new park for Sydney, alongside a 12-hole public golf course. 

The final Moore Park South Establishment Plan has now been released by the NSW Government, confirming what will be on offer at Moore Park Golf from 1 July, 2026.  

What golfers need to know 

• Until 30 June, 2026, golfers can continue to enjoy the full 18-hole course.  
• From 1 July, 2026, an interim 9-hole golf offering will be available to play during all stages of work, until the new 12-hole public course is officially opened. 
• The driving range and clubhouse will remain open as usual. 
• Works on the new park and golf course are planned to be completed in 2028. 

What’s changed in the final plan 

The NSW Government has listened to feedback from the golf community, increasing the length of the golf course from 9 to 12 holes in the final establishment plan.

The revitalised golf offer for Moore Park South will include: 

• A 12-hole public golf course, designed in collaboration with a respected golf architect 
• An expanded driving range with up to 90 bays 
• An 18-hole mini golf course 
• Putting and chipping greens. 

Why 12-hole golf is a positive 

12-hole golf is an emerging model in Australia and internationally. The format offers a shorter, more accessible round that makes golf more achievable for a broader range of players.  

12-hole golf focuses investment on fewer holes to improve course quality and the overall golf experience. 

Notable 12-hole course examples include: Newgreens Chatswood (opening in June), Shiskine (Scotland), Belmont (USA), Eastwood Twelve (Scotland) and Mad Swans (England). 

Looking ahead 

Transformation works will commence from July 1, 2026, including updates to the course, driving range and Clubhouse. 

We’re excited about what’s ahead and remain committed to delivering a welcoming, high-quality golf and leisure experience for our community. 

We’ll continue to keep you informed as plans progress and details are confirmed.
