About 11.40pm (Friday, June 28), three people left the golf club travelling in a golf buggy, police said.
After turning onto Grandview Street, the golf buggy turned sharply to avoid an unknown vehicle, and a 37-year-old man fell from the cart and hit his head on the roadway.
He was subsequently taken to John Hunter Hospital in a medically induced coma with a possible fractured skull and a bleed on the brain, police said.
Officers from Tuggerah Lakes Police District attended and started inquiries.
"The driver of the golf buggy, an unknown female, left the scene prior to police attendance," a police spokesperson said.
"Another man who was travelling in the golf buggy, aged 52, was spoken to at the scene."
Officers are appealing for the driver, as well as any other witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage, to come forward and contact police.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.
