The Facts
What: 9 holes walking
When: June 30th at 4:30 PM
Cost: $21
Where: 89 Town Farm Road, Farmington, CT 860-677-1367
Tunxis Plantation offers 45 holes (two 18 hole courses and one 9 hole course). It is a fully public course, but it can get quite busy on weekends so tee times are recommended. I am quite familiar with the course since I play in a weekly league that meets there every Monday. Tunxis offers a full service bar and restaurant, a full pro shop, a grass driving range and 2 very large practice greens. It's a behemoth of central CT golf.
The course is primarily known for three things; being in great shape, being flat, and being relatively forgiving to spray hitters. The conditions today lived up to Tunxis' reputation. The greens, fairways, and sand traps were all in impeccable shape. The course is quite flat and wide open. However, the greens are generally well protected to help make up for the forgiving fairway layout. There are also several "decision holes" in which you have to make the decision to go-for-it or lay up.
This course is indeed flat. There is hardly much elevation on any of the 45 holes. This can sometimes make for a boring golf experience if you play Tunxis often, but on the plus side it makes it an easy course to save some dough by walking instead of springing for the cart.
Tunxis is one of the most consistent courses I have ever played. It's a workhorse that always puts out a good golf experience. I recommend the course. Conditions are excellent right now, per usual.
As for my league match today; I certainly did not have my A-game. However, I did a good job scrabbling and got out of there with a 45. Good enough for a 2-up match win. It was a good win against a strong, trash talking opponent.
