Moore Park Golf Course is a 18-hole public golf club and driving range in Moore Park, New South Wales, Australia.

Mount Rennie is the heritage-listed Moore Park Golf House that was opened on 19 June 1926. The Golf House is a two-storey brick building with tiled roof and features a restaurant and bar with views of the golf course and a 150-seat function centre with views towards the city of Sydney.[1]

In 2023, City of Sydney lord mayor Clover Moore proposed cutting Moore Park Golf Course from 18 holes to nine, in order to create a new park, which drew criticism from golfers, who suggested that it was her self-interest which drove the proposal, as Moore lives nearby.[2] The state government threw their support behind the proposal soon after.[3]

In the 2024–2025 New South Wales budget, the state government allocated $2.6 million for works to turn most of the northern part of the golf course to public open space. The government has allocated an extra $50 million.[4]

Plans were released on 28 October 2025 detailing what the park could look like after it has been cut and re-purposed. In total these works would cost $50 million.[4]
