Red 9

Very nice course and facilties. We are more like beginner golfers and find the 9 hole Red course to be just right for us. Enough challenge without being too difficult and very enjoyable to play.

Dissapointed

After hearing a lot of good about tunxis my group was dissapointed. Course is dry, poorly marked, grass high, greens slower than a turtle. The only good part was the clubhouse and starter was friendly and nice to talk to.

A Nice 9

Tunxis Red is a great 9 hole course that has enough challenge for the intermediate player but is open and forgiving enough for the beginner. Fairways are generally wide and well maintained and the greens ran true. There is water in spots (Mostly up the boundaries) but if you are hitting it well, it won't be a problem. There are a few holes that set up beautifully from the tee boxes; 7, 8 and 9 are particularly nice, 7 takes your drive out over the large pond shared with a tee box on the white course. Kind of a shorter version of #18 at Pebble beach. I could have played 18 on the white course for almost the same price on golf now later in the morning. It was a great deal.

Enjoy

Relaxing day

The Red Course at Tunxis is a nice way to enjoy a friendly 9-holes of golf with friends or business associates. You're rewarded for your good shots, but penaltized for the errant ones. Water fountains and ponds, plus the nearby Farmington River provide a scenic break from a hectic work week.

Course was clear from any winter debris. Greens were in decent shape for the weather we had. Looking forward to going back as the weather warms up

9 holes with Cart small bucket of balls

Worked out well, 9 holes, with cart, and small bucket of balls for about $24 a person. Good value for a chilly fall day. No one in front of us, no one behind, played in about 2 hours. Played the front nine of the Red course for the first time, some holes were tight and challenging, but really like the course.

Good course overall

We played the red course. Maintained well enough. The course is easy to moderately challenging. Fairways are wide open. Greens do not require too much reading. The course is very reasonably priced. Good for a quick round of golf.

Better greens than most public courses

I played the red course, a 9 hole course, and was very pleased. Very quick 9. Place is in good shape. Good greens, a hair slow, but smooth and fairly true.
