Warringah Golf Club has been granted consent from the State government for Northern Beaches Council to enter into a 20 year lease to operate an 18-hole golf course, providing long term security for the club and its members.

Mayor Michael Regan said he was delighted to have the lease finally resolved for this public golf course.

“Club members and the community have faced a great deal of uncertainty over a number of years so I am thrilled that Council has been able to work with the club to achieve this outcome.

“The lease will not just provide certainty but will allow the club to progress the planned new Club building and other upgrades.”

Warringah Golf Club President Scott Campbell welcomed the resolution of the issue.

“It has been a challenging time for our members since the Administrator floated the idea of restricting our use.

“The golf club and course continues to be one of the most popular courses for social golfers in metropolitan Sydney with approximately 55,000 rounds played along with 30,000 rounds of members competitions played each year.

“It is so reassuring to know that our 85-year history will be able to continue into the future and we look forward to providing a new community and family friendly club house in the coming years.

”Thanks to the Council, Councillors and the Mayor for working with us to ensure the future of this great community asset is secure.”
