6.5 will do it all day (and night) long - just hope you have lots of hills i.e. safe backstops!
You'll need plenty of loft so as a minimum a #4 Creedmoor.

Not sure I would be in a hurry to do this.
I shot rabbits on golf courses for years. There are ALWAYS people in unexpected places. And the fairways are often quite hard packed, so low angle shots have habit of bouncing.
100m is about the limit I would think is remotely safe, though even then only if there was a really good reason I couldn’t get closer.
You can always get closer to bunnies. They’re not sika deer…
Fast twist .223 is all you need.
Even after hours there always seem to be people. Dog walkers, amorous couples, teenagers having a smoke, old ladies out spying on everyone else…
a rabbit at 400mtrs is a very small target 
me at night 150 is far enough, as others have said shooting sticks and walk shot a golf course for several years, nice short grass, lost it when they wanted “professionals” to take over that they had to pay for, whist i did it for free 
driving range was nice to check zero on, as distances marked out and nice covered firing point

You need to purchase a new rifle chambered in:

You'll need a titanium driver for 400 yards, failing that get into a golf buggy and use a .22.
My golfing experience is that the rabbits are not bothered by the golfers.

.223 will do it very easily
I’d not be keen though to launch anything at a 400m bunny in an area that is not under my total control, totally absent of humans and surrounded by effective backstops that could see from my shooting position
I lack the courage for what you propose

First thing you will be doing is carving up the ground with a heavy caliber like that on rabbits! as said golf courses come to life at night, ive seen the lot, poachers netting the pond, 3 people in the full wetsuit diving for balls, had someone hitting flashing balls down the fairway an hour after light, dog walkers at 2.am, drug deals etc.
