Blackstone Country Club

this one's a private club (part of the Invited Clubs / ClubCorp network) and no membership is needed to book a wedding, which is nice, but the reviews got me worried tbh. three separate 2026 one-star reviews all hit the same mandatory 20% administrative fee on food that they insist isn't a tip (so tip on top if you want staff to actually get anything), and several people say the whole place got pricier and worse-run after new ownership took over around covid, greens fees basically doubled since 2023 per one. there is an older 2018 review calling it fantastic for a company party so it wasn't always like this, but the recent stuff is recent enough to weigh. day-of coordinator is included per their FAQ and outside catering isn't allowed, so you're locked into whatever their kitchen does. go in with eyes open on that admin fee and ask exactly what it covers before signing.
