About this course

The Red Course at Tunxis Plantation Country Club is a municipal facility in Farmington, Connecticut, designed by Al Zikorus and opened in 1962. Zikorus, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century, created a layout that serves the public golf community in the Hartford area. The course operates alongside two other eighteen-hole layouts at the property—the White and Green courses—making Tunxis one of the larger municipal golf complexes in Connecticut. The Red Course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Farmington River valley, with mature tree-lined fairways and traditional parkland features. The routing incorporates natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define playing corridors and create strategic interest. Water features appear on several holes, and the bunkering reflects the straightforward design principles common to public courses of its era, emphasizing playability for a wide range of golfers while still presenting challenges for better players. As a municipal facility, Tunxis Plantation serves a diverse membership and daily-fee clientele. The club hosts local amateur competitions and provides accessible golf in a region with limited public options. The Red Course, along with its companion layouts, represents an important resource for Connecticut golfers seeking affordable play on well-maintained grounds. The facility includes standard practice areas and a clubhouse that supports the operation of all three courses.
