Alpine Country Club

I attend an annual golf tournament here. Here's what I know:

1. Staff are very friendly and helpful
2. facility is beautiful
3. Plenty of parking
4. The food is always delicious!

I would highly suggest if you can afford it- host your event here!

I booked the Alpine for both my ceremony and reception -- their venue is beautiful and I was so excited to get married here. They offer basically a full service with the option to upgrade items like linens, or go through a vendor to rend different chairs. The only thing I took them up on was long tablecloths, everything else looked good the way it was. They have a wedding coordinator on site who is incredibly helpful and helps you with anything you need -- building a menu, finding vendors for cake, makeup, etc., or even making special requests.

Overall, the day went incredibly well. The ceremony went without a hitch and it really is a beautiful outside location. I would warn people wearing heels that if you're standing with the bride and groom, though, there are gaps in the stones that you can easily sink into, so be careful! I had to find a place to stand and not move so I didn't trip over a gap.

For the cocktail hour and reception, everything was put together and in terms of display and setup, everything was perfect. The food was DELICIOUS and everything went smoothly. The only negative comment I have is that my special requests for food seemed to be lost. I asked that vegetarians had fruit cups instead of chicken escarole soup -- but, they were served the soup and not the fruit cups, even though I saw the fruit cups ready to be served. It seems that there wasn't much coordination between the wedding coordinator, who knew all of my special requests, and the serving staff, who simply didn't deliver. Some people received the wrong meal, and like I said, I feel like none of my special requests were honored. Not a huge thing in the scheme of things, but I wish that all the time I took to make sure my guests were perfectly happy had panned out.

However, everyone told me they had a good time and nobody outright complained. Like I said, it went smoothly overall -- dinner service just wasn't what I wanted it to be.

Alpine CC is a nice private course. The greens are always quick, the layout is challenging enough, and they have yardage markers throughout which makes it a lot of fun to play. The course conditions weren't as pristine as last year, but it was still in nice shape. I play here once a year and I always look forward to it...they also serve some pretty incredible grilled pizza.

Now here comes the million-dollar question - would I want to become a member? I would say no as it's readily apparent that they cater towards a certain nationality which is their prerogative, but it makes a Polish guy like me feel like an outsider.

Had my September 1st wedding at Alpine Country Club. We got off to a rocky start with the event coordinators having changed hands a couple times since we had originally booked, but once Shawna came on everything was great.

My husband was deployed during part of the process so Shawna went out of her way to have a private tasting for us when he finally came home. It was so nice that he was able to be part of the process and feel so included. Shawna was also really knowledgeable in our request for a fallen soldier tribute table. She knew exactly how the table was too be set which was really nice to know since it meant so much to us. She was very meticulous on the details and made sure everything was prepared and in line with our requests. She worked around our crazy schedules and was very easy to get in contact with when we had questions. On that day Shawna was personally there for all of the important events to make sure everything went according to plan. The weather was beautiful which definitely helped too. She even escorted my husband and I out to the middle of the golf course with our photographer for some more beautiful photos on their property. During cocktail hour I had escaped to the bridal room as I wasn't feeling too well. Shawna personally sat with me for a bit, brought me ginger ale and has the wait staff bring in all of my appetizers so I didn't miss out on anything. She kept us on schedule and worked closely with the DJ to keep the traditional pieces of the night rolling right along.

The venue itself was very open and accommodating to our guests - the ballroom recently had all new sheers and drapery which was beautiful and made for amazing photos. The bar was large enough for my guests and the bartenders were working so hard that my guests never had to wait for their drinks. Overall the venue was well kept and maintained. We chose to have our ceremony onsite - the only downside tot he garden ceremony is it is right near the parking lot so someone's car alarm interrupted my husband's vows which was a bummer and a lot of our photos have cars in the background, but we knew that was going to happen.

Bonnie was our lead waitress for the night, making sure my husband and I had everything we needed. She was such a wonderful person and I just loved talking with her. The food...absolutely incredible!! Matt, the head chef, is definitely amazing at what he does developing the menu and working with his back of the house team to ensure the standards are high. The food was so delicious and the portions are not typical wedding portions, but instead a nice full meal. You definitely get what you are paying for with the plated meals. In addition, we did the ice cream sundae bar (which they were happy to accommodate our flavor requests) and late night snacks which our guests loved.

Overall we are so happy we chose Alpine Country Club for our venue. Shawna, Bonnie and their team were absolutely wonderful and so accommodating to our needs and requests. The venue was beautiful and made for some great pictures we will love forever. I highly recommend booking your wedding with Alpine.

They might be a great place, but do they give brides 11 months after their wedding to pay ?
Our company has serviced this club, and we have sent notices, nice phone calls, gave them service on Sundays, and still have not gotten paid. If this is what I need to get their attention, so be it..

Had dinner here last Saturday. Great dinner for two options which include appetizer for two, two entrees, two salads, and one dessert, With a bottle of house wine. All for$65! I had the osso bucco my husband had steak, we shared the calamari and the cheesecake. Everything was delicious, including the house Cabernet.

I've been here on multiple occasions for faculty retreat and I've been thoroughly impressed by the establishment and attentiveness of the staff during our parties. I've never gone outside to enjoy the country club, but the inside decorations are always well maintained and the rooms spacious.

The 18-hole "Alpine" course at the Alpine Country Club facility in Cranston, Rhode Island features 6,715 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 72.5 and it has a slope rating of 124 on Bent grass. Designed by Geoffrey S. Cornish, ASGCA, the Alpine golf course opened in 1960.

Ed Kirby, the pro, is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Full of stories, the guy can "flat out play." He can also teach and is very generous with his time. He reached the final cut in the U.S. Open in 1987, 1989 and 1993. He then qualified for the U.S. PGA Tour in 1994 and played on the Asian PGA and the South African PGA Tours. Yeah, he has street cred.

The course is ALWAYS in pristine condition. There are no quirky or as Rhode Islanders say "gaff" holes. Challenging but fair and you will undoubtedly play all 14 sticks in your bag.

There is a very nice, large driving range where you hit off grass. (I hate going to a place where they have mats - uggh!). A large putting green is also available. Locker room facilites are large and very nice as well.

This private course is one to get out and play if you get the chance. Tournaments, invitations, whatever. Make it happen. The course is a gem and the food at The Alpine is legendary. In a good, no, mkae that in an excellent way.

I went here to chaperone a high school prom, because I'm basically the coolest person of all time.

The prom was classy, efficient, and entertaining for students and faculty. The staff of the country club were polite and attentive in greeting us, making sure dinner came out on time (which was difficult, considering it was not buffet-style), and serving up the best Shirley Temples around. I almost forgot I wanted an adult beverage.

As for the space itself, the ballroom is lovely. There's a chandelier, hardwoods, and a stage. We managed to fit a photo booth and a candy bar for the students in here and still have room for everyone. It's not huge, though, so if you're looking to have a very large wedding, this is probably not the place.

Looking at both the exterior, as students were arriving in limos and their parents' cars (swag!) and photos of the club from the website, I think if we were to hold the prom here next year (which I would recommend), we might think about doing it outside. The horticulture is absolutely gorgeous, and I wish students had more of a chance to spend time in it. I would advise the same for a wedding, if the weather permits!

Went there for school banquet with my daughter. Very disorganized. Had wrong number of chairs/place settings at our table. I missed salad and pasta course due to lack of plate/silverware (they brought the plate after they removed the salad and pasta...then removed clean, unused plate 15min later). Dinner supposed to start 6-6:30. Kids at our table finally got their actual meal at 8:30. I actually got served a plate of food at 8:15, but never got any silverware or place setting, so i could not eat. Wait staff did not refill water glasses until 8:45pm.

We left at 9 after my daughter ate 1/3 of her cold, obviously poor quality chicken fingers.

Would never recommend or return to eat at this place. Even the facilities to allow kids to dance were minuscule.

In a word: craptacular.
