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.

When people have asked "How was your wedding?" My answer has been, "More beautiful than I could…read morehave ever imagined!" and that's thanks to Wendy and the Phineas Wright House. Seriously. If you're considering an event here, book it now and you won't be disappointed. First off, the property is stunning. The house has beautiful rooms to get ready in with great light; the facade of the house makes for beautiful photos; the barn is iconic and warm; the gardens were stunning in full bloom; there are fences and paths through the woods galore. We had our ceremony at the top of a hill overlooking a scenic New England field and pond. The reception was in a beautiful field under a big tree for shade. And for those worried about unsteady grandparents, there were easy ways to help them get around. Everything was beautiful, a real classic New England farm. Then, the decorations! Every small detail was perfect. All of the flowers were fresh from Wendy's garden and the arrangements were PERFECT. The signage and table settings were gorgeous and involved freshly stripped bark with calligraphied names of all of our guests. There were blankets on the back of all of the chairs for when it got chillier at night! Seriously, Wendy thought of everything. And last, but certainly not least, Wendy! You couldn't ask for a better planner, friend, and kind soul. She has been a wedding planner for decades and now she and her husband run the Phineas Wright House. I didn't stress once on the day of the wedding because I knew Wendy had it all under control. From the moment my husband and I started planning the wedding, she was alongside us supporting and cheering us on. I would often say "I'm so grateful for Wendy!" We had started our wedding planning with Wendy when we were going to have a 100 person wedding elsewhere, and by the end we had a 12 person, socially distanced wedding at her home, and honestly it was absolutely perfect. I still dream of the Phineas Wright House and our magical wedding day. I wish you the same joy!

My brother chose this place as their wedding venue for a small wedding of 40 people. It's a cute…read morespot, but heed this warning, if the manager or whoever Kim is supposed to be is still in charge, she will treat you with the most lack of hospitality. After the outdoor ceremony the family was taking photos by the alter. A few guests made our way back to the barn for some waters as it was a warm day. We sat on the patio outside waiting for the rest of the guests and Kim came outside and exclaimed "there's a table of hors d'oeuvres inside that's going to be thrown away in a half hour if nobody eats it." First of all, incredibly rude to say to guests waiting. Second, how could you be so wasteful for something you've already been paid for? We then walked ourselves back across the field to now inform the bride and groom their food was going to be thrown away if nobody went to eat it. My cousin had her reusable water bottle taken away from her because "no outside drinks were allowed." Even though it was 85 degrees in the middle of July, and the didn't set the water out for people to get themselves. You had to go to the bar, where they then served you the smallest cup of water possible. When people made their way inside, the food was consumed, cold meatballs that seemed to have sat out the entire duration of the ceremony cold. Not just the half hour duration of cocktail hour the guests missed. Plates and cups were cleared literally immediately, DURING each phase of eating. Which was incredibly wasteful for guests not being able to reuse their plates. Wait until the end of the "meal" (cocktail hour, dinner, dessert) to collect items. Or place a trash for people to dispose of when they're ready. In any case, once dinner was served (buffet style) each individual tray had its own server. Kim, watched over the shoulder of the gentlemen slicing the prime rib. You were only alloted one thin slice of meat, and when asked for a second, Kim literally said no to guests, to which the poor gentleman slicing exclaimed, "but we have a whole second one out back.." Nope. Food rationed like it's a famine. Then the dessert table was set out, and my brother went up to get a cookie and once again was yelled at by Kim. To review the food, I would give a 3 for quality. The vegetables were okay, typical for serving in bulk. The chicken marsala was edible, the fish was gamey, and the prime rib was grisley. The dessert bar was cookies, ice cream, waffles, and toppings. You were not able to scoop your own ice cream, and the scoop used by rhe server was about the size of the table spoon, so that's all you were allowed. It's the only picture I bothered to take because it was just comical at this point. The manner in which guests were treated was so incredibly poor I cannot recommend enough that people steer clear of this place unless she is no longer there. All the other staff members were incredibly sweet and just trying to do what they're told, so I do not pin this review on them. The lack of hospitality from Kim was embarrassing to anyone who serves in that industry. Venue: 5/5 - cute, quaint, spacious for gatherings under 100 guests Food taste: 2/5 Food portioning: 0/5
