Mandai Executive Golf Course can operate until end-2027
Singapore’s Mandai Executive Golf Course can stay open until Dec 31, 2027, after its operator appealed for more time.
The nine-hole course beside Upper Seletar Reservoir is Singapore’s only fully public golf course and opened in 1993.
Its tenancy had already been extended by two years, with closure previously expected by the end of 2026.
The government plans to build an outdoor adventure learning centre on the site as part of a wider effort to consolidate facilities for student outdoor education.
Authorities said the latest extension will support the course’s operational arrangements during the transition and will not affect the centre’s development timeline.
The extension is final.
Singapore has also said the leases of five other golf courses will not be renewed as they expire over the next decade, while a new dedicated 18-hole public course is planned on land occupied by two of them after their leases end in 2030.
Mandai Executive Golf Course will be allowed to operate until Dec 31, 2027, after its operator appealed for an extension.
The Ministry of Law and Singapore Land Authority said the extension would support the course’s operational arrangements during the transition.
The authorities said the extension would not affect the timeline for developing an outdoor adventure learning centre on the site.
The nine-hole course is Singapore’s only fully public golf course and is located next to Upper Seletar Reservoir.
