Wequassett has been for many years among the best properties I go to in the US (or internationally…read morefor that matter). Every single time we visited, the service has been impeccable and I find it hard to think about any other resort that can get even close to Wequassett. The grounds are perfectly kept and the rooms have been recently renovated. And although, there's a trend even with classic high-end resorts (St. Regis, J.W., Ritz-Carlton) to make their renovations a little too modern for my taste, Wequassett successfully kept their old school charm. We always stay at their Signature Water View King rooms (and book well in advance as there's only a few of these) so I can't speak of other room types. The amenities are flawless and even though the main pool gets VERY crowded during summer weekends, the pool attendant always found 2 chairs for us. My only recommendation for this property is to have a backup plan for the main pool. Perhaps installing a deck and adding some more chairs there to accommodate more guests that prefer the beach vs. the pool.

Sincerely the best of any resort we've stayed at -Genuinely friendly staff -The cleaning crew was phenomenal and didn't miss a spot The not-so-good: -Paper thin walls. We were woken up multiple nights because the upstairs guests were walking around. Yes, plain footsteps - not even stomping - were very audible. For close to 1k a night, this shouldnt have happened. My cheap grad school duplex apartment didn't even have walls this thin! -Friction prevented us from giving the resort more money. There's room service but no menu in the room and it wasn't easily found online either. And we were so ready to drop a good amount of money on poolside drinks and food but nobody waited on us both times we were at the pool. (They did happen to wait on the social media star who was present, which was very obvious, and we made eye contact with another family who shrugged because they hadn't been waited on either.) And finally the coffee shop closed at noon. We would have happily patronized the shop for a treat and a coffee and were disappointed to find it closed so early. -Our perception was that there was nothing going on at the Wequassett. We stayed in June (and received the May newsletter; perhaps that would've given us more info if we had the correct one?) We had expected the poolside bar to be open. Maybe some live music. Smores for the kids by the fire (we would've purchased this.) So many opportunities for improvement! We stayed at the cliff house in Maine last year and there was a number displayed around the resort that you could text and they'd send a message with info about was going on at the hotel that week! Such a memorable touch - Wequasset could consider something like this. All in all, not awful, but not blow-your-socks-off fantastic, either. Just plain average in the realm of resorts.

When we arrived we were told they don't let carts out after 5 pm. My husband is on dialysis and the only way he can play is with a cart. It would have been nice if they had mentioned it on the phone when we called. When it stays light out until 9:00 it's ridiculous that they don't let carts out after 5:00. Just one cart rental would pay the young workers hourly wage to stay open for 2 more hours. Imagine if they rented 10 more carts?? So frustrated. What a terrible policy! So they'd rather their guests walk the course in 80 degree temperatures than make money. It doesn't make any sense to me. I won't be back

The experience has almost always been flawless - beautiful food, well prepared and seasonally charged. The kitchen goes fresh, with simple preparations when possible, and photo-worthy plating. For proof, see my feeble attempts at foodie pics. The menu is diverse, but with their daily fresh catches and fierce focus on seafood, going under the sea is always a solid bet. For the casual, outdoor lunch menu, blacken the cod (or fresh local whitefish) sandwich and opt for the lemon vinaigrette. The quesadilla is a lovely, chunky, molten mess, and I'd strongly suggest a smoothie - any of their standards fill the void. For the restaurant, both the Seafood Salad or a seared catch of the day are winners. Stick with wine - their list is impressive, and cocktails are the only facet of our experience that feels like a crapshoot. Service excels, and they treat our kid like royalty; it's a member's club, after all.

The food is so so, the views are excellent the challenge of the course is slightly above average but not overly fun.

The tennis club on the other hand is exceptionally great. The staff are helpful, highly knowledgable and skilled, they are not snobby and do not need enemas. They do a great job.

In interest of full disclosure I don't play golf, and I didn't play golf here…read more In fact I didn't even see this place in full daylight. I was there at night for dinner for an interview. I had no idea that this place was some fancy place until people started talking about it. First off those that claim it's the oldest country club in America are flat out wrong. There are country clubs that outdate it by nearly a century. 1882 isn't even that old considering it's Boston. My buddy lives in a building older than that right now. Anyway this review isn't about how old or first or not first this was as a country club and golf course. It's more of a plea that just because you are a member here, it's not a good idea to host an interview dinner here. The reason is because it's a bad venue to hold an event like that. The facilities are old and decrepit feeling. It smells old too, and not in a good way. The waiters look like they are part time kids from high school (actually they better be, or they are definitely breaking some child labor laws). The food had small portions and it was not good (probably because it was prepared by the fore-mentioned children). I think it primary reason why people host events here is because they are trying to impress others by showing off that their are part of this exclusive club. However those attempts will likely backfire if you have to explain what a big deal this place is to people that don't care in the first place. You are far better off booking a nice restaurant instead.

Not exactly the environment that I'm used to but in the end they were hospitable and the tournament went relatively smoothly. Despite the relative stuffiness of the club, all of the hosts left us to our games and did not interfere. The bar system was a bit convoluted since we had to purchase tickets and then buy drinks with those instead of just buying straight up. I understand that is a regulation since we weren't members but it was still a bit annoying. The other main aspect that was under the club's control was the curling facility. On a positive side, the ice and the facility were very clean and well maintained. The warm room was well appointed and comfortable both on ice level and in the viewing room above. The Country Club had fantastic cameras and screens on both sides of every sheet giving a clear view of the other side of the ice to the people on the ice and watching the games in the warm room. The ice team did a pretty good job overall but on a couple occasions the pebbling fell apart more than usual toward the end of our games. They were 10 end games with a 9 minute practice session but you expect a little better quality. Thursday night the ice fell off after the 5th end and was completely different than in the earlier part of the game which was confusing to both teams. Overall it was a great experience and I would be happy to play at The Country Club again.

The views are very pretty, except for the construction taking place right next store and the line of golf carts blocking the walkway in view during the ceremony. The bar did not have food but sandwiches could be purchased downstairs for a reasonable price. The wedding was delayed and some confusion took place amongst the guest and wedding party on the details. This lead to the grandparents missing the ceremony. The ceremony was short and straight to the point. Appetizers were waiting for guest upon entering the building and quite delicious. They also had some walking appetizers. This lead to high expectations for the dinner. After introductions and dancing, dinner was served. The salad was soggy and the soup was not hot, the rolls came out after the salad and soup. Everyone was served at the table and I was last. When asked what I ordered, I was told they had no more left. That the kids at the table should have gotten chicken fingers(we requested vegetarian meals for them). I had to wait for food to be prepared while those around me ate. What they served wasn't very good - creamy pasta with mushrooms (I requested the vegetarian option). Cake and coffee was served in the lobby. Pizza and meatballs was placed there as well towards the end of the night. I was not the one getting married, just a guest. But from the looks of the place and reading some of the cost, I would have been slightly disappointed in the coordinator and the lack of courtesy of the staff. I tried not to get the constructions in my photos.
