Mandai Executive Golf Course secured a final one-year extension pushing its closure date to December 31, 2027, after initially facing closure by the end of 2026. Officials confirmed that this extended timeline will not disrupt plans to build a student outdoor adventure learning facility announced in 2024. The venue is one of six golf courses across the country slated for closure over the coming decade as land is reallocated. A new 18-hole public course will later be established on land currently occupied by Keppel Club's Sime course and Singapore Island Country Club's Bukit course after 2030.
