Tunxis Plantation Country Club


About this course
Tunxis Plantation Country Club, nestled in the Farmington Valley, carries the distinction of being the first 36-hole golf facility in Connecticut. Its enduring appeal lies not just in its scale, but in offering two distinct courses, catering to diverse playing styles within a classic New England setting. The Miller and Robert Trent Jones Sr. designs, while not consistently ranked among the nation's elite, provide a well-maintained and enjoyable experience. The terrain is largely parkland, characterized by mature trees and gently rolling hills. The courses are approachable, favoring strategic play over raw power, with doglegs requiring considered club selection. Beyond the golf, Tunxis Plantation is a notably social club. The membership prizes camaraderie and community, reflected in its active calendar of events and member-guest tournaments. The "19th hole" atmosphere is known for its warmth, where local craft beers and clam chowder are staples, fostering a convivial spirit within the Farmington Valley.

Getting there
Tunxis Plantation Country Club sits in the rolling farmland of central Connecticut, accessible most directly via Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor, roughly twenty minutes to the north, or via the larger regional hubs of Hartford-Brainard (HFD) for those arriving by private aircraft. The drive from Bradley traces south through the Connecticut River Valley before turning inland toward Farmington, a transition marked by the gradual softening of suburban sprawl into tree-lined country roads and the gentle topography that defines this corner of New England. The final miles wind past stone walls and manicured estates, the landscape settling into the quiet, established character of one of Connecticut's most venerable private clubs, where the understated elegance of the approach mirrors the discretion and tradition that have defined Tunxis Plantation for generations.
