Designed by Al Zikorus
The White Course at Tunxis Plantation Country Club in Farmington, Connecticut, is a municipal facility designed by Al Zikorus and opened in 1962. Zikorus, a regional architect active in the mid-20th century, created a layout that serves the public golf market in the Hartford area.

The White Course plays across rolling terrain characteristic of the Farmington River valley region, with mature tree-lined fairways and traditional parkland features. The routing incorporates elevation changes and natural contours that provide variety in shot-making demands. Water comes into play on several holes, and the bunkering reflects the straightforward design principles common to accessible public courses of its era. The layout measures around 6,500 yards from the back tees, offering a fair test for a range of skill levels.
Tunxis Plantation serves a diverse membership and daily-fee clientele, functioning as a community golf resource in the greater Hartford metropolitan area.
