The current lease on the course is due to expire in May 2026 and the government is moving to give certainty to golfers, as well as all other users of the park that sporting uses will continue into the future.

The Minns Government is in discussions with Golf NSW, North Sydney Council, Cammeray Golf Club and other stakeholders in relation to the future management of the golf course.

Cammeray Golf Course is part of the wider Cammeray Park reserve, which has hosted golf since 1906. It provides the community with a public and affordable 9-hole, par-3 course for people of all ages and skill levels, from beginners and juniors to high-performance players.

Cammeray Park is also home to tennis courts, croquet lawns, a skate plaza, soccer and rugby matches and community events.

The Minns Government continues to support Golf at all levels. Friday’s announcement follows previous support delivered through the Organisational Support and Level the Playing Field Program to increase golf participation, as well as Destination NSW sponsorship of more than 54 golf tournaments over 2024-26.

“Cammeray Golf Course has been part of Sydney’s sporting fabric for more than a century, and we want to secure its future for generations to come,” NSW Minister for Lands and Property and Sport, Steve Kamper said.

“The NSW Government is looking to ensure access to golf in the heart of the North Shore to support community recreation and wellbeing.

“We are proud to back golf as a sport that brings people together and supports local jobs.”

Golf NSW Chief Executive Officer Stuart Fraser said: “Golf NSW is thrilled Minister Kamper and the NSW Government are providing certainty for golf and golfers at Cammeray Golf Course.

“Cammeray Golf Course is a unique public facility, welcoming everyone from beginners and juniors to elite players, so we whole heartedly support these moves to ensure its long-term future.”
