Draft Golf Facilities Plan

Our Plan for Golf Facilities in the Shire

Council is committed to providing our community with opportunities to stay active and enjoy the outdoors.

Following the recent review of golf facilities in Sutherland Shire, we have developed the draft Golf Facilities Plan and are now seeking your feedback. This plan was a key priority identified in our Sport Strategy and Implementation Plan which aims to promote active lifestyles and enhance recreational opportunities for all residents.

The draft Golf Facilities Plan covers our three public golf courses: Woolooware, Kareela, and Barden Ridge. As part of the broader review that informed the plan, we also considered golf services at four private facilities. While these fall outside the scope of the plan, they have been recognised as an important part of the overall golf offerings in the Shire.

The plan outlines key priorities and actions for each course over the short, medium, and long term, along with broader management strategies for all of our council-owned courses. Actions within the plan include both funded and unfunded initiatives.

It provides clear and practical steps to improve the long-term sustainability of the council's golf courses. It aims to offer the community a wider range of opportunities to access and play golf, ensuring our courses and facilities remain popular and well-used.
