I'm reviewing The Oaks golf course at The International…read more Atrocious. Simply atrocious. I played on a Friday morning and I had 4 guys with leaf blowers and mowers following me on literally every hole. The worst part is that they didn't even stop when I was taking shots or putting. In fact, on a few occasions they would start their mowers up in my backswing to get a chuckle. Ranger didn't do anything. On top of that, the electric golf cart died on the 15th hole. Fun times. Even if all of that didn't happen, this place is still kind of a dump. Looks like it hasn't been touched since the 60s. There are rocks the size of golf balls in every bunker. Wash out areas everywhere. Really strange since there's an absurd amount of maintenance people buzzing around at all times. Honestly, just a poor course design. If you live in Boston and love golf, do yourself a favor and just go play Pinehills down in Plymouth. Both courses at Pinehills are 10x better and cost less. I wouldn't play The International again for free, never mind paying $125.

He then replied, "you can't do that, and now you can't go out". Terrible experience, if this is how you want to "grow the game", get the old drunk behind the bar out of there.

(Lennon and McCartney) I attended a charitable organization's golf outing on Tuesday and had a very enjoyable afternoon. No, I don't play golf except for a round of mini a few times a year. The grounds are gorgeous, with flowers, landscaped scenery, and gazebos everywhere. The bartenders and servers were all courteous, professional and very helpful. Blackstone cooked a simple dinner for our 100+ guests. It was a nice "make your own sandwich" version with burger patties, hot dogs, chicken and sausages paired with platters of cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, rolls and potato salad. They have a massive outdoor patio with plenty of tables and chairs for us to drink, socialize, and eventually enjoy dinner.

The price of 68 with a cart and unlimited (really worn out and tired) range balls off grass included with greens fees. I never see public courses in CT have grass ranges. They layout wasn't bad. The front 9 was a little tight. Whoever designed the course had to be creative with the landscape. The course was very hilly which I don't mind. Some memorable par 3's. The greens required very accurate approach shots. Most misses were short as approach shots that were right left or long usually required a difficult chip up a slope or ended up in the woods. The bad: Unfortunately when I played on 5/15 (normally a great time of year for growing grass) the fairways were in rough shape with bare spots lots of spots that could have been considered ground under repair. The greens were slow and in rough shape as well. Of all my putts I would be hard pressed to remember one that rolled well. Most putts were bouncing around from the start. Not a waking course at all. In fact they wouldn't let you walk even if you wanted to. I guess this helps with pace of play given some of the longer walks in between holes and the hilly landscape. Overall: Considering the conditions of the course especially the greens, pace of play and layout I would say this course was average at best. Not terrible for the price. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to play here again. If the greens were grass covered, cut and rolled and the fairways were in better condition that might be a different story. The course does have potential.

My game has improved markedly as a result - down from mid-90s to mid-80s and could not be happier with the results. BTW - regarding all the gripes below, don't pay any attention to them. The course has the fastest, most challenging greens of any public course in the area and most of the holes are fair for weekend golfers.

We were having such a great time that we wanted to go for another 9 holes and were more than willing to pay for it. Unfortunately, we were turned away by the pro shop, who said the course needed to "air out." If that was the plan, why not just close the course entirely to begin with? It was 5:30PM on a Saturday afternoon and bright as day. Turning away paying customers without a clear reason makes it feel like they just wanted to wrap up early. Disappointing end to an otherwise great experience.

Unfortunately the only downside is the foursome in front of us was obliterated drunk, and really held up things (this was not the course's fault). They were playing from blues and would take 4 shots in each hole just to get out of range. They also left empty cans on fairways and greens. Really shame. I guess this happens everywhere.

After our initial drives this much older balding gentleman (or man as he was not very gentle) drove by in a small vehicle and told us that we need to split our group because of Covid rules-there could not be a group of five. We understood, said OK, and moved on: One group of three first and then the group of two. (keep in mind there are also two groups in front of us playing). When my friend and I were walking along the fairway to retrieve our balls on the third hole, that older guy drives up to us again and exclaims, " You must be learning how to play golf. We need to be faster and move along." When my friend told him that we had been waiting for the groups in front of us to play their hole, he just waved us off and continued driving his small truck. As we checked in to play the second half of the course, they added two strangers to our group. The strangers were nice and all, but we didn't understand why we couldn't have just played with the original three people that we came with that we knew were clean and Covid free. The group of three in front of us, that we knew, also would have a random a person join their group once for the first half and then again for the second half. The course itself was fine for a nine hole course, but the way that man treated paying customers is really what made me come on here to write this review. He totally ruined a good time.The other staff we came across were pretty nice. I definitely will not be coming here. You've been FOREwarned.
