The Pines course originally consisted of 66 acres of open farmland that proved to be ideal for a “short but tricky” nine-hole course. In 1901, Runaway Brook Golf Club Corporation was founded and purchased the land for $1, thus establishing the formal beginning of The International.
In 1954 Bert Suprenant purchased Runaway Brook G.C., then hired Geoffrey Cornish, with input from Francis Ouimet and others, to design the regulation course that exists today. ITT purchased the course in 1961 and six years later renamed course The International Golf Club. In 1972, Robert Trent Jones was hired to modify many of the slick greens and challenging bunkers and made it not only the longest course in the world but one of the most difficult.
Ownership was later passed to Starwood Hotels & Resorts, who subsequently sold the club to principal owner Daniel Weadock and limited partner Brian Lynch in 1999. In 2001, The International added a new course, the Tom Fazio designed masterpiece known as The Oaks. According to Weadock, “The International will be the only private 36-hole facility in New England and one of the best nationwide. My partner, Brian Lynch, and I are privileged to be charged with the near sacred trust of over 100 years of golf history on the grounds…It is all about golf, friendship, camaraderie, plain old fun and having a good time.”
