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
Fix your greens
Played the green course and the green still stink. I played 6 weeks ago and they were aeration done. They have never healed. They are not good. Makes playing less fun. You have to smash the ball to get it to the hole. Every other courses greens have come back but these.
Super Slow Play
Management tried to put out two outings, one on each course, and both were running late. There was no starter on duty this day. I was scheduled to play the Green Course, which had 3 groups ahead of me on the first tee. It took 40 minutes for the tee to clear and took me (and another single) over 15 minutes to play out the hole. There were two groups on the second tee and 3 more groups out on the fairway/green...like this the rest f the day.

Great day good weather and the best of friends get together. Good time with old friends with a well maintained golf course. No waiting on the tees or in the fairways, we just kept on playing.
Tunxis green course
The rough was tough you have to keep it in the fairway.
As always, great place to play
Another great round here at tunxis. Never an issue with pace of play or conditions of the course. Greens and fairways were gorgeous and a few holes they were mowing but the workers always pause and move so you may continue your playing.
Amenities I didn't use because the bar did not open until 11 and I was out on the course at 9am.
My tee time was for 9:33 but the starter allowed me to get out at 9:03 since nobody was playing prior to my tee time. Def bonus points for getting out earlier.
Unable to use driving range due to mowing
Beautiful course
Bought 18 holes on GolfNow. Well worth the money. I’ll definitely play here again.
Bad time was had by all
We had an outing yesterday for someones birthday. 8 players, 2 4-somes. We played the Green course.
Here's the problems:
- Course in poor condition. Tee boxes a mess, areas in front of the greens looking bad. Overall poor condition
- Not one hole had any kind of yardage marker. PLEASE install the 150 yard sticks like everyone else does.
- We paid $71.00 for this mess.
After the round we all headed to a local pub for a couple beers. Not one guy said they had a good time and no one is going back. Some serious changes need to be made to this course. A few of us played at Stanley in New Britain the day before and the experience was 10x better there. Electric carts with built in yardage trackers, great conditions of the course, and cheaper rates.
All good except form one thing
The course, especially for April, was in goof shape except for the tee boxes. There were several where it was difficult to find a good spot to place your tee. The greens still showed signs of a past aeration, but rolled reasonably well. The staff there is friendly. I have always found the price a bit high for what you get.
Green
Greens have not recovered from last year’s punching. Tee boxes and fairways in decent shape for April golf.
