Mandai Executive Golf Course tenancy extended to end-2027
Mandai Executive Golf Course has been granted a one-year tenancy extension to 31 Dec 2027, following an appeal by its operator. Authorities say the extension is final and will not delay plans to develop an outdoor adventure learning centre on the site.
SINGAPORE: The Mandai Executive Golf Course (MEGC) will be allowed to operate for another year until 31 Dec 2027, following an appeal by its operator. The Ministry of Law (MinLaw) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) confirmed the extension on 10 Nov 2026, saying it would support the golf course's operational arrangements during the transition.
This is the second extension granted to the operator of the nine-hole golf course, which opened in 1993 and is located next to Upper Seletar Reservoir. It is Singapore's only fully public golf course. The golf course was previously granted a two-year extension and was due to shut by the end of 2026.
In a joint statement, MinLaw and SLA said: "The tenancy extension of MEGC is final and will not affect the development timeline of the outdoor adventure learning centre." In 2024, the Ministry of Education announced plans to develop an outdoor adventure learning centre on the golf course site as part of efforts to consolidate outdoor adventure education facilities for students.
In 2025, authorities announced that MEGC and five other golf courses would not have their leases renewed when they expire over the next 10 years. Four of these golf courses — Warren Golf & Country Club, Orchid Country Club, Keppel Club's Sime course and Singapore Island Country Club's Bukit course — have leases expiring in 2030. The lease for Tanah Merah Country Club's Garden course will expire in 2035.
The land currently occupied by Keppel Club's 61ha Sime course and Singapore Island Country Club's 56ha Bukit course will become a dedicated 18-hole public golf course after their leases expire on 31 Dec 2030. MinLaw said in 2025 that in addition to the future dedicated 18-hole public course, the government will continue to ensure public access to golf facilities in the long term.
