In his term at Waubeeka, Bartlett has installed 5 new tees, enlarged 2 greens, expanded the pond on the signature 12th hole, lengthened the course, added two new bunkers on 15, did bunker renovations on 7 and 12, installed 3,000 feet of drainage throughout the course, moved cart paths on 11 and 15 to the edges of the holes, cut the annual chemical budget by 40 percent and turned Waubeeka into one of the best conditioned courses in the state of MA.
General Manager Victoria Richardello has been extensively engaged in promotion and tournament play at the course. Together with Mike, her vision is for Waubeeka to continue to be a top-ranked golf course. They are hoping to add an inn and other amenities that would further enhance the beauty and quality of the golf course.
Remembering Waubeeka Golf Links Owner Michael Deep, an insurance agent and owner of area real estate, fulfilled his long-time dream to enter the golf business when he purchased the 200 acres from Mr. and Mrs. Goff in 2014. Deep learned from his parents the proper way to meet, greet and treat people, and credits his family in his attempt to make Waubeeka Golf Links a recreational destination. 1949 - 2022
