This course does not disappoint!!!

It was a beautiful day to play Crumpin-Fox, low 70's and sunny all day long....
The starter "Mike" paired me up with two great guys (who were both named Mike, go figure). We hit it off right away. He let us start on the back 9 to avoid the many groups that were in front of us. We had the back to ourselves. This made the day even better.
The greens were good, only to become great when they get a new cut. The fairways were cut just right to get your clubs under the ball. Rough is to be considered a long cut. Many balls were just peeking above the top of the grass. No worries if you can keep it in the short stuff. Wish I had a few more in the middle.
The round took us the standard 4 1/2 hours to complete. The pro shop is one of the most stocked shops I have been in. Very plentiful with everything you might need for a great day! I did not take advantage of the great restaurant they have due to time. I drove 2 hours to get here and was not disappointed at all.
I will be back again for sure. I have a feeling that the fall golf is going to be very scenic with all the views and foliage.
I highly recommend this course!!!

ARERATION ALERT!!!

Was not aware that they plugged and sanded the greens before our round. I was paired up with 3 nice guys who were practicing for a golf getaway. Really enjoyed their company.
The course was in good condition considering it just started getting nice out. Winter is over !!! Bring on the deals.
I always have a great time at CT. National GC !!

Wet! Wet! Wet!

On this day we were allowed to take carts without restrictions? I am not sure what they were thinking as the course was soaked with standing water in fairways and cart paths. Normally this is a great track and layout. I almost got stuck twice in the middle of fairways. Most holes could be 90* but be careful.
The staff were amazing, always friendly and willing to get you out without a hassle. I live in CT. and don't mind driving here for a great day of golf!

BAD FIRST IMPRESSION

The starter at this golf course, Joe H. Needs a few lessons with customer service.
He gave a terrible first impression when I approached him to check in...
He told me I was paired up with a threesome. He then said I would have to share a cart. I tried to explained to him that with COVID, I am not comfortable riding with someone I did not know. I did noticed they had plenty of carts available and mentioned this to him. He just stated that I was just making excuses and was reluctant to allow me to ride alone.
I told him I work in a busy environment and wear a mask to protect myself. His comment was, quote" how did that work out for you? I see you're still alive!!!"
What kind of an answer was that? I hope that the superintendent will read this response, as this is no way to make a first impression. He should not impose his politics while in a position of guest service!
I do like this course and hope that this will be addressed.

GPS warning

We had trouble finding the course, as the GPS was not locking in on the address. We ended up on a dead end rd. Good thing we left early enough to get there with 20 mins to Tee Off!
The first impression pulling up...Wow! this place is gorgeous. You can tell by the properties surrounding the club, that the course will be fantastic! And it was!!
The pro shop experience was great, the staff was very friendly and the starter and ranger were awesome.
The first hole is a par 5 out of the gate, wide open and a good representation of other holes to come.
Greens were fast and true. Fairway wre in great shape and cart paths were paved.
We will def come back to play Highfields again!!!

Gotta Draw?

The course is beautiful, scenery is amazing.
If you have a draw, be careful as everything seems to slope to the left. Tee shot placement is very important. There is a long par five that runs up a long hill, don't be left! We were teamed up with a couple of nice guys who had played there plenty of times. They played the "Blues" and struggled. Challenging layout and fast greens make for a great round!

The # 2 hole is still very wet, they need to address this as it was wet all the times I played before. However the rest of the course is in great shape. Look forward to playing again soon!

Cart included?

We arrived a little early. We were able to tee off when ready. It was very windy, the course was very beautiful. Can't wait to play on a warmer less windy day.
My tee time included a cart, when we arrived we were asked to pay another $40 for the cart. I explained that it was included with the pre-paid reservation. They asked for proof. This was the only hiccup we encountered. After looking up my reservation, we were able to play?

Amazing Golf Course

I have played this course a few years ago and that's why I booked it again! The fairways and greens are well kept. Ask anyone who has played this track over the summer, what their favorite hole is and you will get very different answers. From the uphill approach shots to the long downhill launches you will not be disappointed!!!!
I will definitely play here again... I will be bringing my daughter here soon to show her what an upscale course should play like!

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!!!

Tee management was spot on, the starter was on his game. We were not hurried at all. Course conditions were perfect, weather was humid as usual this time of year. Pace of play average...finished just over 4 hours. Do not mind driving a little longer for this course, whether I play Jones or Player course I know conditions will be great,

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.

The course was is great shape. The girl in the pro shop was very nice. Tony got us started, I had some questions being the first time we played there.. He was very helpful detailing the course. We made the turn for 10 and Tony was there to greet us again to see how the round was going. That impressed me that he was concerned how we were enjoying the track. We will def, play there again!!!

Starter with a GREAT attitude

I played Chicopee earlier in the month and meant to review this great course then, so this will be a combined review of both trips. I was so very impressed with this course that I had to play it again. Hence the the delayed review. Both times played I had the most pleasurable experiences with David. He is the most professional and friendly starter I have ever encountered in all me years of play! Right from the start he was approachable and inviting. After check-in, (which was also a great experience) he made me feel like I was a member. He gave me tips as I have not played this course before. I actually drove 90 minutes from CT. to play here after reading the great reviews about Chicopee. David would be an asset to any golf course, Chicopee should feel honored that he chose their course to be his home!
The course is very attractive and reasonably challenging from all the tees. The views are to be commended during the fall. Along with the jets and helicopters flying over from nearby Westover military base. (others may be upset with this distraction, however it is amazing to see such a display of dominant force flying overhead) It did not bother me at all! I was impressed.
The other impressing thing was the on-board rate card. They had "GOLFNOW" as a contact for a great rate and to book now on "GOLFNOW" I found this to be pleasing, as you may have heard how other courses treat us "GOLFNOWer's" (like they wouldn't click on a good deal themselves...Lol)
This made me feel even more welcomed and I will definitely play and refer this course to anyone!!!
Keep up the GREAT customer service David...you DO make a difference!!

Excellent Starter

We pulled up and was greeted by (I think his name was) Nick a friendly guy who helped us out from the start. he told us where to start and make the turn at. he also had us grab a cooler from the snack bar for our water. The layout is pretty wide open so my daughter really enjoyed that. We were traveling from Ct. and were trying out a few courses in S.Carolina. This one was a gem. It was hot that day so we took a little break on the turn with no problem getting back out. Totally enjoyed this course and would highly recommend.

Awesome Check-in with Kim

Upon arrival we were greeted at a gated community checkpoint.
The girl at the gate seemed to be put off by our arrival. Immediately we were not impressed! She asked our name and checked a list. She waved us through and I had to ask her which way were we going? She just flicked her head to the right like to just go on.
Once we got to the clubhouse, I went inside to expect more of the same snooty-ness. To my great surprise I was greeted with some true southern hospitality from Kim at the desk. She was soo cheerful and truly excited to have myself and my daughter at their golf course.
I went on to tell her that we were on a golf vacation from Ct. and this was the first round of our trip. She said that we should stop in when we were loaded up and she would get us off a little earlier as rain was expected later that afternoon.
How nice is that? Kim was gracious and actually concerned that we have a great day on the course.
We stopped in and there were a couple very friendly gentlemen conversing in the pro shop. One was a greens keeper and the other was the pro. They offered us some tips before we tee'd off.
The greens were treated but rolled true, the fairways were being cut and the cart paths were paved. However the 14th hole was closed as they were redoing the entire hole.
I like that the course winds through the community and the residents were very friendly. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by the gatekeeper...Lol

Soggy & Confusing

Pro shop guy was very friendly and accommodating. You wouldn't know that you have to walk through a neighborhood to get to the pro shop from where the parking lot is, until you explore. I walked to the club house without my clubs and had to go back and grab them as they do not let carts out in the street.
First impression was fantastic from the club house as you look down to the course. However we found that a few holes where pretty much floating turf. Very soggy on some holes. We sank in the ground and our feet got soaked. The greens were well maintained. Rough was a little long and fairways were fair. This will be in great shape once the water evaporates on the floating holes. A few holes are very close to each other it makes for some confusion as to where OB is. I will play it again once it dries out!

Rainy Day Course to ourselves

We arried it was sprinkling. We went in for lunch to wait it out. Lunch was good, staff was very friendly.
Rain never stopped so we had the track to ourselves most of the day. My daughter had a great time even though we were soaked. The cartpaths neef a little attention they were rocky. But hey your on a mountain with great views. We made the best of it. I would definitely play here again next year when we return to NH for the races.
