The long second hole, a par-4 which doglegs left to reach this raised green, measures 439 yards from the blue tees. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2022

No. 4 at Tunxis White is a tight par-3, its green guarded by water and by Town Farm Road. Par is a very good score here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2022

It’s gorgeous scenery, but a watery grave will be the fate of golf balls falling well short of green eight. Ditto for misses long or left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2022

The peninsular green at ten overlooks the lake that borders parts of holes seven through twelve. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2022

My path to green twelve was crossed today by two families of Canada geese. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2022

A pond bisects the seventeenth fairway, and may tempt big hitters to fly it off the tee–if their desire is a wedged approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2022

Among the premier holes at Tunxis White are those with greens set on mini-peninsulas. The par-4 seventh is the first you’ll encounter. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/21/2021

Eight. Par-3, 164. The second peninsular green may give some golfers jitters on the tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/21/2021
-
Ten. Par-4, 347. My favorite hole. A ‘simple’ drive-and-pitch hole to this green, water-guarded everywhere but in front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/21/2021
-
Twelve. Par-4, 376. A masterful hole--maybe the course’s best--ending on a cleverly contoured green (upon another peninsula). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/21/2021
-
Four. Par-3, 176. Overdraw your tee shot and your golf ball will be deep-sixed. That’s frost you see in the shadows. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/21/2021

This course eats balls!
Great course but I’m convinced there’s some sort of vortex snatching up balls. It’s probably just the ridiculous rough, but it makes me want to blow a gasket... gourde is in amazing condition for how dry it’s been all season. Not to mention it’s mid November.
No distance markers on course.
Perhaps cause it’s late in the fall, but very holes have markers to tell distance if you don’t have a range finder. I just want to know generally how far to hole is.

Haven’t played this courses in 30 years and had a wonderful time, course does need improvements but overall it was fun
Great layout
We walked 18 because we got a great deal on GolfNow. We finished in 3.5 hours. The course was in good condition considering how dry it has been. There were lots of people out playing but we didn’t run into them. No amenities were open yet due to Covid restrictions.
Great Layout & in Super Condtion
Played the White Course. In great shape and I love the layoff. The Tunxis staff is by far the best I have dealt with in Connecticut.
The staff and golf courses are awesome the greens are in excellent shape and the overall condition of the course is excellent
Tunxis is Tunxis
Steady and consistent over the years, greens are rolling well, fairways trimmed up., traps in decent shape. You get what you always got, what you expect. Tunxis has made a few improvements and really wants you to come back. And I will!
Good facility
Nice facility, with two 18's and a 9, easy to get tee times. Very easy course to walk and in good shape. Greens are a bit on the slow side for my liking but in good shape.
Course is always in good condition
I realize it is still early on for golf season in CT. Course was in good shape for as early as it is, greens ran true. The only problem we had was that there was a group of 13-17 people in front of us walking. The 4-some in front of us barely kept pace with the threesome in front of them, who did not keep pace with the foursome in front of them. Additionally, while the 3 of us are not great golfers, the folks in front of us were terrible, adding to the delays. We tee'd off at 10:30am and did not putt out on 18 until 3:10 pm. Perhaps the Starter could have sent our group and the 4some behind us out on the back nine first.
Best deal on GolfNow
Unbeatable deals during the week. Staff are always great, and course defies the weather conditions by being soft but not saturated. Wish I could play here every day.
Thank you for your review. We take great pride in our course conditions - and it has been a very challenging year but the courses are in very good shape. I will pass your comments along to our staff. We wish you lived closer too!
