Review of weverly Oak Club (Waltham, Massachusetts) We are…read moreactive family members of Waverly Oak Club in Waltham, and our experience during the Family Swim session from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM was completely unacceptable from both a customer service and a legal standpoint. According to the club's website, membership terms, and all publicly available policies, there is absolutely no mention of any additional fee for a child to participate in Family Swim, especially not during the 4-5 PM session. Despite this, today we were denied entry and were told that we must pay an additional fee -- the staff even mentioned $10 for the child, and later $80 -- although none of these fees appear anywhere in the official documentation. When we were stopped at the entrance, we asked the front desk staff to show us exactly where on the website it states that a child requires an additional payment for Family Swim from 4-5 PM. The receptionist looked but could not find any such information. She then sent us to the manager. The manager spoke to us in an extremely rude and dismissive manner. Instead of providing proof or pointing to written policies, he simply said: "If we let everyone in, we will destroy our business." This statement was made sharply, with a clear tone of hostility, and with no attempt to justify or explain the alleged fee. It was obvious that his decision was not based on any written rule but purely on his own judgment at the moment. From a legal perspective: Charging undisclosed, non-transparent fees violates basic consumer protection principles, including unfair or deceptive practices under Massachusetts law. Denying access to a service that is already included in a paid family membership constitutes improper performance of contractual obligations. Introducing new fees "on the spot," without written policy or prior notice, is inconsistent with standards of good faith and fair dealing. We left extremely disappointed. This club demonstrates that it can invent new charges at any moment, deny access to members, and treat customers with open disrespect. We do not recommend Waverly Oak Club to anyone.

Everything we ordered was incredibly flavorful, beautifully plated, and far exceeded our expectations. You'd never guess a restaurant inside a pickleball club could serve up dishes with this level of quality. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared -- no shortcuts, no "sport-club food" vibe here. The drinks and desserts also deserve a special shoutout -- they've crafted some really fun, one-of-a-kind items that tie into the pickleball theme in playful and creative ways. As for service, the staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and well-trained. We will be back!

The app wasn't too hard to use, although it seemed like it was iOS only when we tried so we had to use one person's phone specifically. Price is a bit high, but the facilities are nice. We ended up booking another court when our time expired since we were having such a good time. They could definitely enhance the experience by adding dividers between the courts to prevent balls from rolling over so often, but other than that, we had a nice time. If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely come back!

Worn out and tired looking MetroWest is still bottom of the barrel and in need of several updates. Lifetime MetroWest cannot seem to find good YOGA INSTRUCTORS. They've had them in the past and there are a couple that are good now but most of these classes by good instructors such as Brianda, have been replaced with an inferior, seemingly inexperienced yoga instructor named Caitlin. She seems nice. But she talks too much, too fast and really cannot conduct a yoga class for her life. Yogi's are supposed to be Zen, not chatty and all over the place. They keep plugging her in to new classes and nobody knows why. She's a dreadful teacher gives poor instruction, please replace her.

The only reason I am not giving Brae Burn Country Club in Newton Massachusetts five out of five…read morestars is because of the pace of play in the summer months. Even though the course is in pristine condition, it does get very backed up and rounds can take a while. On a positive note, everything else is amazing about this place. The food is fantastic, the club house is scenic and beautiful, and the service is always friendly and well organized. The people at this club know the right kind of personal to hire, and the right kind of members to take in because every time I am here with my family friends and other friends who are members, I always have a wonderful experience. Brae Burn also has the perfect mix of golf, and social events, which is perfect for a country club. Not to mention a beautiful pool and tennis facility not far from the clubhouse. Also with indoor simulators for the winter months! Would definitely recommend if you live in the Newton area if your looking to join a country club. There's something for everybody!

I have been a member here for a few years and would recommend that if you are looking for a gym,…read morelook elsewhere, such as Planet Fitness or Waverly Oaks Athletic Club. This place is affordable for the area, but the fitness area is lacking. They have the basics and some machines, but the area is not maintained, and things often go unfixed for many months at a time. It is clear that the club makes all of its money from the Tennis and Pool centers and caters to those areas. On one occasion, one of the cable machines was broken, and a member took the part home to weld it back together, knowing that management was never going to fix it. On another occasion, the hammstring curl was broken and out of order for more than 8 months. There is a sauna and steamroom in the men's lockerroom that have not been turned back on since the pandemic. Overall, the fitness area is serviceable but dated. The positive is that there is a small group of members, so there is almost always space available. The membership is very nice and welcoming for the most part; there is one unstable person who slams equipment, and management has not held him accountable.
