Waubeeka upgrade nearly done

WILLIAMSTOWN -- Redesigned greens, fairways and bunkers, and a new practice facility are among renovation work that began at Waubeeka Golf Links in April.

The work specific to the golf course is now days from completion with a finished practice facility still a couple months away.

General Manager Mark J. Mills said last week the renovation work on the eighth hole, which is the last in the first phase of course renovations, is planned to be completed by Tuesday.

"We'll call it for the summer on Tuesday. Then as to where we move on from their, we'll decided in the fall," he said.

According to Sunday's posting on Waubeeka's Web site, Hawk Shaw Golf Course Construction Inc. of Hawthorne, N.Y. plans finish the sand traps at the eighth hole by Wednesday.

The target date for completion of the new practice facility, which will be just over 30,000 square feet -- including a 23,000 square-foot area for a driving range and an 8,000 square-foot for private lessons -- is in late summer or early fall, Golf Course Superintendent Gregory "Greg" S. Tudor said last week.
