Open but shouldn't be.....
Went out to a different golf course yesterday, which was in great shape. Figured I would come to Tunxis red for a quick 9. In my opinion if the course isn't playable, it shouldn't be open. Greens were concrete. Many snow and icy patches in fairways. Down limbs and trees not cleaned up. Bunkers weren't dressed up. Didn't look like the greens were blown off in the AM. I get thag the Red course is the least looked after, but we shouldn't have been allowed to play out there today. No tee markers to indicate yardage.

Always great playing here!
Again, a beautiful round at Tunxis golf course. Today was an incredible 75 degrees and sunny in November. The course was jammed full but pace of play was great. By the time my friend and I would reach the next tee box, it would be about a 2 minute wait and we could tee off then.
Course in great shape, leaves cleaned up very nicely. Only issue I have is there was still no cart person going around offering beverages or snacks. Not sure if because of covid....would of been nice to enjoy a cold brew but it didn't ruin the round at all.
Will be back soon to squeeze one more round before winter comes
