The council has revealed two plans for how half the course could be sliced off and converted into about 20 hectares of parkland. Cr Moore will outline the options in a mayoral minute at Monday night's council meeting.
Liberal councillor Christine Forster said the proposals were"preposterous"and the overall plan to shrink the popular course - which has been resisted by Golf NSW - was"shameful".

Councils are increasingly eyeing Sydney's fairways,as coronavirus restrictions have sent more residents outside and put pressure on parks and public spaces in densely-populated parts of the city.
The two options for reconfiguring part of the course retained the driving range,clubhouse,and maintenance depot and require"only minimal reconfiguration of the fairway and greens",Cr Moore said.
One option is to locate the parkland to the north of Dacey Avenue on the western side of the course,while the other proposes transforming the area south of Dacey Avenue. Each would create 18 to 20 hectares of parkland.
Cr Moore has presented the plans to Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes,who requested the newly-formed Greater Sydney Parklands Trust,which oversees Centennial Park and Moore Park,to consider them.
