Golf locked in for good at Cammeray Golf Course

The Minns Labor Government will appoint Golf NSW as the Crown land manager of Cammeray Golf Course, permanently protecting the historic public course as a place for golf.

This decision provides certainty for golfers, residents and other stakeholders, ensuring the course continues to operate as affordable and accessible to every Sydneysider who wants to play.

Cammeray Golf Course has been part of Sydney’s sporting landscape for more than 120 years. One of the city’s last remaining public 9-hole courses, it is a place where families, juniors, seniors and social players can access the sport without the cost and exclusivity of private membership.

Under the new arrangements, Golf NSW will manage the golf course as Crown land manager, bringing deep expertise in the sport and a commitment to keep the course operating in a way that puts community access first.

Today’s announcement ends years of ambiguity with a fit-for-purpose model that locks in golf as the future of this site, now and for generations ahead.

The broader Cammeray Park reserve will continue to support a range of sporting and community uses under the management of North Sydney Council.

Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said:

“Cammeray Golf Course has been part of this city’s sporting fabric for over 120 years. It is a course where kids learn the game, where retirees stay active, where working families can afford to play. We will not let that be taken away.

“The Minns Government was not going to let this course slip into uncertainty or be lost to the community.

“Local residents have been loud and clear, they want to keep their golf course. We’ve heard that, and today we’re delivering on it.”

CEO of Golf NSW Stuart Fraser said:

“Golf NSW is honoured to be appointed as Crown Land Manager of Cammeray Golf Course by Minister Kamper and the Minns’ Government.

“The game of golf continues to enjoy unprecedented growth, and Golf NSW looks forward to working with the local community and the Club’s Board in welcoming players of all abilities to the greens and fairways of Cammeray Golf Course,”
