Red at Tunxis Country Club

Played the Red course two times in a month and a half. I don't who wrote these reviews of "excellent," or who is coaching them to do so, but the Red Course is a cow pasture. Ruts, crab grass, and weeds in the fairways. The fairways are as hard as clay. Poorly maintained sand traps and tee boxes. The greens are decent. But there is nothing to distinguish between fairway and rough. They've got a lot of nerve charging $35 (with a cart) They won't let you play 9 on the better Green or White courses, but they don't mind taking your money and forcing you to play 9 on a course that is clearly not maintained. Lack of rain is a poor excuse for a dumpy course. Go to Stanley, where their Red, White, and Blue courses are maintained properly. They've had the same lack of rain and it's obvious that they're putting the money into their courses, not their pockets. We will never come back to Tunxis, and the sad part is, they couldn't care less if two of us come back or not.

The course is in good conditions considering the lack of recent rain and being very hot the last few days. Unfortunately there were no rangers to keep things moving and we backed up with four groups on one par five (green, fairway and two on the tee) The rough is a little long, but I presume they are not cutting because of the heat and lack of rain

Solid course and easy to navigate. Dry due to lack of rain but greens are holding up well.

Great course and conditions. Well kept and this course is perfect for someone walking or riding 9holes. They have 2 other 18 hole courses so u rarely have to wait . Also not a lot of water or woods so better for amateurs

This layout is great and the price can’t be beat but the conditions were not up to par.

As has been the case seemingly all summer, we had to wait on every single tee box. A 9 that could be played in 90 minutes instead took 2 hr 40 minutes.

Not to mention, I had booked a 3:10 tee time only to be forced to tee off at 3:20.

Seems to be happening at every course, so I won’t fault Tunxis, just keep it in mind.

Had an 11:50 tee time and couldn’t tee off until after 12:10 because it was so backed up.

Nice walk on a Thursday morning. I have played this course many times and during this social distancing times it couldn’t have been more perfect. I prepaid the greens fees and there was no contact with anybody at the course except the starter who sent us right out. Course rules were walking only, it was a beautiful morning and fairways are fairly generous, greens were in very good shape...more than worth the $24 special.

My wife and I played the Red course with another couple from Massachusetts. The clubhouse is not open. Payment is made via credit card at the starter shack. It is extremely well organized keeping in mind it was over 70 degrees for the first time this spring.

There are only white tee markers. No red markers at all.

The course overall was in fantastic condition. The green speed was medium but very consistent on all 9 holes.

I wish the Governor of Massachusetts would go there to see how a golf course can be safely managed in spite of the coronavirus challenges.

I have played this course in the past and love it more, the more I go. Not only is the course very well maintained, the staff is very friendly. The way they treat people will keep me coming back.
