5th, par 3, 206: Terrific par four with an outstanding green complex. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/28/2025
-
11th, par 4, 361: Strong tee-to-green test, where water threatens on the left. Spring is transforming the landscape here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/28/2025
-
The fourteenth / approach shot: You’ll need a solid and straight tee shot that avoids the bunkers and trees for a desirable second shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/28/2025
-
Green fourteen: A pond fronts the large and beautifully two-tiered 14th green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/28/2025
-
Green fifteen: This short drive and pitch hole requires precision on the approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/28/2025
-
The final hole: It generally takes a lofty approach to stop the ball on green eighteen, which lies 204 yards from the tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/28/2025
-
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
-
A previous photo I took during the fall. This is the first tee at dusk. 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

Thick rough
Think rough and the greens were a tad slow. Other than that, I really like the course. Pace was fantastic. Foursome in just over 3 1/2 hours.

Round could’ve gone a lot better if they had some water on the course . considering it was a busy Saturday and 90+ degrees. Only saw the cart girl once and not until the 16th hole.

Sloped greens makes for a good challenge
I had a lot of fun playing 18 holes here today. The greens were fast and sloped which made for a fun time putting. Very friendly staff and very enjoyable day out on the links.

Could have been better
Paid for 18 holes with a cart. It was my day off and was looking for a nice relaxing round. It has rained heavily the night before, but with a 12pm tee time there shouldn't have been an issue. Was told they weren't letting carts out and we would have to walk. I would have played elsewhere if that was the case. The bothersome part is that had a big tournament on their other course and they were letting all those participant's use carts. To make matters worse, we ended up getting passed out by people in carts by the time we got on the back 9. Apparently they decided to let carts out after all.
