Many also said it was a shame that the club's 18-hole golf course, which had only been renovated in 2010 for $24 million, will have to go so soon.

The Government announced on Monday that it has gazetted the acquisition of the Jurong Country Club site, with the club to hand over the land by November 2016.

Club member Shelley Yeo, 61, a housewife, said she was surprised by the developments, given that the club's land lease was until 2035.
