The final brightly coloured golf ball will roll into hole 18 at Ermington Putt Putt, never to be seen again, for the last time in April.

The course, which sits on a site Parramatta Council sold to developers in 2014, has had a lengthy stay of execution and been busy during the summer school holidays.

The site was originally sold to Chinese developers Aqualand in August 2014 for $130 million, sparking disappointment in the Parramatta and Ryde communities. The Fun Run, Waterways and Jungle Trail mini-golf courses have sat on the site since 1969.

Long-time putt putt golfer Lesley Slender told the Herald after the announcement was made that "It will be a very sad day for the community when bulldozers come through and destroy a local icon for entertainment".
