Among the frustration of trying to call maybe 8 times to reach the pro shop to book a time which is crazy in it's own right. I was also informed that their system just does that? If you know the issue why not attempt to fix that. All that's causing is angry and frustrated people who wanted to play a round.
Onto the golf, So I tried this course out seeing the reviews saying for the price it's a good course, for 18 and a cart it's about 70 dollars to play on the nicer white course.
For what the course is that is not a good price, for 70 dollars I'd expect the course to be lush, defined and well kept tee boxes, no to minimal fairway spotting and fast greens. The greens certinatly do not roll quick which is designed for playability but your charging 70 and calling yourself a "country club"... get the greens moving more at a CC pace then. The tee boxes were a little shaggy is areas, maybe they weren't cut for a couple days when I did play my round but still, and in the fairways there were some dry spotting which with the rain we got, shouldn't be their... the track and layout of the course however is phenomenal. It's a pretty design concept and most of the holes are unique which is very much appreciated as some courses you'll play the front and back and it can feel like the same 9. Not here, that part was great and enjoyable. What hindered that though was the pace of play is SLOWW if your caught on a busy day, good luck with getting in a 4 hour round, you'll be looking closer to 5.
Tunxis is a... very average course and for 70 dollars you can play nicer places. At 60 I'd agree it's a a fair deal but at 70 your starting to get up to Wintobury prices. And Wintonbury in Bloomfield is a much nicer course both ratings wise as far a state public courses go and maintenance wise as well.
