History
The International was originally a nine-hole public course founded as Runaway Brook Golf Club in 1899.[1] The course was purchased in the 1950s by Albert Surprenant[2] and the original course was replaced by an 18 hole layout known as the Pines.[3] The course filed for bankruptcy in 2020, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. It was subsequently purchased by Escalante Golf for $10 million.[4]
The International hosted the LIV Golf Invitational Boston in 2022.[4]
Layout
The International is a 36 hole private golf course. It has two 18 hole courses on the property, the Pines and the Oaks. The Pines was originally designed by Geoffrey Cornish[5] and later redesigned by Robert Trent Jones.[6] At one times was the longest 18 hole course in the United States,[6] but was shortened with a redesign by golf architecture firm Coore & Crenshaw.[7]
