The par-4 third hole poses some threats: a stream that crosses the fairway and a pond that is not all that partial to hooked shots. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/01/2022
-
Seven requires a straight drive to the dogleg’s corner, followed by a pitch to this well contoured green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/01/2022
-
The tenth green will definitely challenge even the best putters. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/01/2022
-
A classic par-4 of 385, the fourteenth ends on this two-tiered green (the approach plays over the pond). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/01/2022
-
Fifteen is a great short par-4: drive to a tightly guarded landing zone; pitch over the pond to the putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/01/2022
-
Sixteen, stretching to 424 and playing to an elevated green, is a very demanding par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/01/2022

Putting was tricky in the snow. Here you can see the line my ball took when I missed a 15 footer for birdie at two. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/28/2021

Fortunately, the snow abated and the course ‘dried out’ a tad by the back nine. This is the thirteenth fairway and green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/28/2021

A pond guards the approach to the fifteenth green; it will catch an errant shot at this par-4 of 385. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/28/2021

The seventeenth, a beautiful par-5, plays 531 from the blues. It’s open in front, making this a possible two-shotter. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/28/2021

During the summer, as this photo shows, Tunxis Green lives up to its name--abundantly. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/28/2021

Not the Green’s longest or toughest par-4, the 4th (378 yards) still demands two good shots to reach its elevated green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/12/2020

The huge mounds at seven create an amphitheater effect; the green surface itself is a tricky one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/12/2020

Stray too far from eleven’s fairway and you may find yourself on the mounds—or not find your ball in the water. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/12/2020

Another view of the eleventh fairway and pond, as well as the uneven terrain in the rough. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/12/2020

14 is a classic, dogleg-right four par of 385. It leads to this raised, well-bunkered, two-tiered green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/12/2020
-
Sixteen, a 424-yard four-par, requires both length off the tee and precision into this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/12/2020

At the third: pondering the break of the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/03/2020

The fourth features a raised green, a pot bunker, and trouble awaiting over-hit approaches. At least it’s beautiful. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/03/2020

View from the front of the tee at five, a superb 205 yarder with links-style contouring at the green complex. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/03/2020

Five, again: One of my favorite par-3’s in Connecticut. The contours seem like something out of North Berwick in East Lothian, Scotland. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/03/2020

Seven: One of a slew of strong holes here. A big pair of grass bunkers (along with a sand bunker—unseen from this view) guards the putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/03/2020

Eighteen: For those who like challenging 3-pars, Tunxis offers four, including this bunker-flanked finisher. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/03/2020
Green course
The course was fine. The only problem was the green had just been airated and the airated holes where not completely filled in with sand, which caused the ball to bounce around a bit.
Disappointing
This course was once one of the nicest courses around and always well maintained but is now just average at best. I know its fall and the leaves are falling, but to lose four balls in the fairway is beyond ridiculous and the overall conditions are just not that great.
Awesome Staff and conditions
This track has 45 holes. I was fortunate to play the green course again. From tee to greens the conditions were above average. The staff were more than professional and courteous. After my round I had time to squeeze in another 9 holes. I checked in to see if it was possible to play the Red course as this course is usually used for 9 hole players and I have never played it before, The gentleman at the counter said he just put out a group of 7 high schoolers on the tee, he said maybe they will let you go through. I asked him how much for the 9 hole re-round? He said "don't worry about it" I was more than surprised, I will definitely be playing here again. Good customer service gets my $$ all the time!!!
Big let down for the price
I have always wanted to play Tunxis as I heard it was a great course. Reading reviews the night before I was worried as they weren’t very positive. Wasn’t going to find another tee time and figured we would try it anyways. For $71 it was a big let down. The tee boxes were horrible, some having very long grass all over them, some having barely any grass with sand and crab grass. Greens were poor with dead spots and crab grass all around the fringe on all of them.
Great layout
I think the fairways are cut to low. Pace of play on weekends is 5 1/2 hours. Need a ranger. Great layout and still a good value.
How do they charge for this place?
My group of 11 and I came down for a guys weekend last weekend. We were hit with bombshell after bombshell. The only bar/lounge open was the “broom room” which seats 3 people (literally) and has no AC. The out door patios are closed for the remainder of the season because tunxis had a Covid out break (8/13/2021), you’d think we would get a heads up? The tavern was closed. So essentially the only place to grab a bite to eat and have a beer was “mills truck stop diner” 4 miles off the 101. Because of excessive water there is 3 temporary greens and over four temporary tee boxes. When we asked for a refund they said they still think we can “have fun”. Yeah a lot of fun it is playing golf in the heat with no place to recover and relax with friends. Reopening for everything they told me is October 1st. How they still charge eveeyone is beyond me. I really hope Tunxis gets their act together. To top it off my room had no air conditioner. Because of the heat I spun in bed like a rotisserie for 2 nights. Never again. Beware of terrible Tunxis
Daddy Daughter Day
Always enjoy all 45 holes at Tunxis GC. This round I was accompanied by my beautiful daughter who was home from college. We were lucky to get out a little early and were paired up with a young man and his GF, They played 9 holes and we finished the day with the course almost to ourselves. Conditions were very good, greens were perfect. My daughter was able to pull down her first "birdie"
All in all... a perfect day.
Weeds Everywhere
The course is nice. The course just needs some serious grooming. Weeds in the fairways, on the fringe and on the greens. Legit crabgrass. Even some of the tee boxes looked like you were hitting from the rough. It just needs to be groomed better. It could be awesome if better care was taken. Staff was great though.
I’ve played this coarse many times over the years and I’ve noticed the the coarse has declined, greens and tee boxes are in less than desirable condition. I’m not really sure why for the amount of money their charging and the amount of play it should be in much better shape
Tunxis White
Very nice course. Pace was slow with 3 pot heads in front of us lighting up and swinging at air or clouds of smoke. Hoping for better luck next time!
Great day
Course is in great shape and we played 18 in 3 1/2 hrs.
