NORTON - The MGA Links at Mamantapett golf course wants to demolish its original clubhouse and build a new one.

Superintendent Chris Johnson said Monday the new clubhouse would be on "the same footprint, and pretty much the same size" as the existing one at the 18-hole course formerly known as the Wading River Golf Club, at 300 West Main St., which is Route 123.

The existing clubhouse is getting old, Johnson said.

Johnson declined to discuss the plans in greater detail. He said MGA Links officials want to "try to get a feel for what the town is going to say" first.

Public hearing The conservation commission will hold a wetlands public hearing on the plans at 7:40 p.m. June 15 in the second floor meeting room at town hall.

Besides the clubhouse work, course owner New Wading River Country Club LLC, doing business as Massachusetts Golf Association Inc., 300 Arnold Palmer Boulevard, proposes constructing utilities, a water line and doing associated grading, according to the public hearing notice.

The work is planned within 100 feet of bordering vegetated wetlands and within 200 feet of the Wading River and Chartley Brook.

The MGA bought the facility in 2003.
