  "account": "Mandai Executive Golf Course, set to close by year's end, has been granted an additional year of operation. The Ministry of Law and Singapore Land Authority announced the one-year tenancy extension until December 31, 2027, during a Nov 10 press release. This marks the second and final extension, with no impact on the planned outdoor adventure learning centre at the Upper Seletar Reservoir site, according to the authorities. This extension is part of the Ministry of Education's strategy to consolidate outdoor facilities and improve educational activities for students. It is one of three new campsites to be established by 2032. Mandai Executive Golf Course, a 13-hectare nine-hole public golf course, opened its doors in 1993. In 2025, MinLaw announced that the leases of four golf courses would not be renewed, as their land was required for future projects. Among the courses whose tenancies were not renewed are Warren Golf and Country Club, Orchid Country Club, and Tanah Merah Country Club’s Garden Course. These leases expire by 2035. After 2035, only 12 golf courses will remain in Singapore. MinLaw took into account competing land demands, such as housing, economic activities, transport infrastructure, and essential services, when deciding whether to renew the leases. The government aims to balance access to golfing facilities for private club members and the general public, ensuring a variety of golf courses are available for different community segments.",
