Another Sydney council is eyeing fairways as fair game in a bid to sate a growing demand for more sporting fields and open space.

The Northern Beaches Council has proposed slicing off half of the 18-hole Warringah Golf Course to address a shortfall in sports grounds that is projected to blow out to 41 ovals by 2031.

The draft strategy comes less than a year after Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore called for Moore Park's golf course to be reduced to just nine holes in order to open up more green space for the community.

Elsewhere, the Inner West Council in February flagged plans to update a 2012 Marrickville Council review that recommended halving its 18-hole golf course to free up lands for biodiversity corridors and new sporting fields.
