Waverly Oaks Golf Club

What Waverly Oaks Golf Club does

Waverly Oaks Golf Club is a privately held, multi-revenue hospitality and recreation business operating on a 240-acre site at 444 Long Pond Road in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Founded in 1998 and designed by Brian Silva, the company operates a championship public golf course (par 72, up to 7,114 yards from back tees with four tee options) that serves recreational and competitive golfers from the Greater Boston, South Shore, and broader New England markets. The course is built on sand-based glacial soils with more than 100 feet of elevation change, and greens fees range from $75 (twilight) to $145 (prime-season weekend) with all rates bundling GPS-equipped carts and range balls. The business is managed by the Ridder family and operates with a lean team of approximately 17 employees.

Beyond core daily-fee golf, the company runs an integrated portfolio of revenue streams: wedding and corporate event hosting in a Grand Ballroom with capacity up to 250 guests (under a one-wedding-per-day exclusivity policy), corporate and charity golf outings, on-site dining at The Waverly Grille (open seven days a week), annual weekday memberships (limited for the 2026 season), and digital gift cards. A subsidiary business, The Residences at Waverly Oaks, is an 83-unit active adult single-family home community built adjacent to the course, with estate lots starting at $1,400,000 and Phase 2 pre-construction pricing from $849,000, marketed through Ridder Building Corporation.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the corporate website (waverlyoaksgc.com), an online tee time booking platform powered by TeeItUp, and the Noteefy AI-powered virtual waitlist. Marketing channels include SEO targeting Boston/South Shore intent terms, Google Ads and AdRoll retargeting, organic social media on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, and the Waverly Insider email program. Brand equity is anchored by 1998-era Golf Digest recognition (Four 1/2 Stars, Best New Course), a #4 ranking in the New England Journal of Golf, inclusion in Golf Magazine's Top 100 Courses You Can Play, and 200+ five-star wedding and event testimonials across The Knot and Wedding Wire.
