I was grateful to attend Tumble Brook Country Club in Bloomfield CT …read more It was set out to be an elaborate dinner for a party of 100. Not sure if their holding hot box did not hold proper temperature but all hot food came out lukewarm. The duck with parsnip purer was mediocre at best . The duck was not browned off enough and came out warm . Parsnip puree was excellent flavor but also cold . The vichyssoise soup was very lite to no leeks at all . Thank god it was served cold like it was supposed to be . The pollack was supposed to be halibut filet but we received some other mystery fish that was non digestible . It did have a very nice thermadore sauce that was on point . Again, it was all served cold with some rice pilaf that was NOT pilaf and 3 haricot vert beans that were peeled . Then the salad , it arrived cold as it should have Belgium Endive filled with blue cheese . The frisée did not help the dish along with the raspberry coulis , it was a raspberry coulis . Several components missing . The salad needed work . Then came the petite Filet Mignon ( cold) with an instant red sauce reduction of some sort that was cheated , baby carrots were good but cold & the French cut potato -all cold . The lemon sorbet was good , topped with a fresh raspberry with a brown sugar crust on the rim . The dessert course was vanilla ice cream with a pignoli tart . The icream of good quality creamy , tart was a bit dry and looking for the pignoli nuts . This was supposed to be a French Dining experience honor the father of cookery - George August Escoffier. Wine was paired with each course - some were winners and others were mediocre at best . Service was excellent , cocktail hour was on the money , the selection of seafood on ice was a winner , carving station of veal loin , pork loin with choice of sauces was very well executed . The passed horduurves were all very well done . The Italian charcuterie of cold cuts and cheeses were very good and displayed nicely . The gulf shrimp were perfect size and peeled - U-15 shrimp are always a home run . I don't do oysters - too much risk involved in oyster consumption. Please bring a flashlight as the parking lot at night has NO LGHTS . Good luck finding your car . Recommend going back and giving them a second chance. It is a hidden gem .

Hi. This review is for a "celebration of life" reception we recently scheduled through the club…read morethat happened on the 4th of June, 2023. My wife and I scheduled a meeting with "Ines" who is the event planner and "David" who is the head chef for their events. They helped us coordinate exactly what we needed and the event went off without a hitch! (it was a reception for about 70 guests.) The room was decorated tastefully, the food was outstanding and the overall service was an 11 out of 10! The view of the golf course wasn't bad either! Thanks to Ines, David and the entire TB C/C staff! Kevin & Debbie M.

The staff we worked with were absolutely wonderful, especially Paul, Peyton, and Parker. Peyton worked tirelessly throughout the event to help orchestrate everything and make sure every detail came together perfectly. No matter what we needed, they never told us "no" - they were incredibly accommodating and genuinely cared about making our vision happen. The food was fantastic, everything ran smoothly, and the room looked beautiful. Overall, the event came out even better than we could have imagined, and we are so grateful to the entire team for helping make it such a special and successful day. We would absolutely recommend Hawks Landing for an event!

We made the mistake of thinking this place operated that way. As our experience proved they don't, we left. We waited. We tried. Seven minutes, to be asked - do you need something? True story. We won't go back. There are other great places in this town who will show attention to patrons and not treat us as if we are intruding in them.

I was surprised to find out that the function area isn't much different than a community center or Elk's lodge. It worked fine for the simple affair. There was an old-fashioned locker room for the bride to get ready in. It was not what you would have expected from a country club but if you are looking for a simple, cozy place to host a party in West Hartford, this is a good option.

This review is for Laura Luna and the amazing staff she had with her on Saturday night 8/14. Laura…read moreand her crew are MADE for the hospitality industry... an incredibly hardworking, flexible and service oriented group of individuals. I was tasked with hosting and decorating my best friend's baby shower and expected to do all of the set up and break of the event but not on Laura's watch! From the moment I got in, the crew helped me unload things from my car, provided extra baby blocks, crystal centerpieces and mirror, created a string of tissue pom poms, got on a ladder to help me hang the balloon garland then popped all the balloons at the end of the night. Honestly the list goes ON and ON! Everyoneeeee at the shower were so grateful for Laura and we all kept raving about her all night. I don't think people realize how crucial hospitality workers are in making or breaking an event and Laura and the crew completely turned this event into a success and one none of us will forget. Thankful isn't enough to describe how I feel towards them all

I'll admit I have a slight positive bias towards ERCC, having been a member since I was born, so…read morefor the last 26 years [and counting..] Ellington Ridge offers a great mix of people from different areas of CT and western MA, and while this is indeed a "country club", the atmosphere is relaxed enough where nobody will jump all over you for failing to rock the full set of Brooks Brothers attire at all times, and your kids are always welcome. I'll summarize it all as an overview for any potential member scouring Yelp for good country club reviews in the area - - Tennis - Traditional clay-type surface that you will have to sweep after you use it, but there are never lines to play. I honestly haven't been down in that area for some time now, but I believe there are 3 (maybe 4) courts to use, surrounded by trees so there is always a lot of shade available. There is also a little tennis building (shed-sized) that has A/C and water, mostly utilized during tennis lessons. Pool - Not quite Olympic sized but pretty close, dedicated areas for laps, and a 10ft deep end/diving board area. The pool itself is well-maintained but was definitely put in some time ago. Concrete(ish) bottom with horizontal tiling to mark lane areas. Dining - Three dining rooms, one is off the bar (usually frequented by golfers) and one large enough to hold weddings / events. The food has had its ups and downs over the years but is (and has been for at least the last 5+ years) on a significant up, I have yet to consume a bad meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, in as long as I can remember. Golf - Since this is where I spend most of my time, this is where I am most critical. I love the course, the 18 holes are a nice mix of challenging and easy holes, and are consistently updated and maintained so to always be in great condition. The driving range is always in use, and the pro shop has several knowledgeable pros that will help you even without appointment. There are 3 practice areas in addition to the driving range, two strictly chipping/putting greens and one with sand traps to practice out of. There is a food pavilion off one of the putting greens, usually grilling on the weekends in the spring, summer, and fall. I'm sure there are some things that I missed, but those are the biggies. Overall, this is a great place to join if you are looking for a club with good food and good golf, with a more "exclusive yet community" feel to it.

I believe over the last couple years it's under new ownership and management. It definitely shows the course is well maintained and greens are in great shape. There is a nice clubhouse with a great selection of craft type beers to enjoy . The third hole is my favorite one. It's the hardest hole with water in front of the green. Someday my goal is to at least boogie it . Lol. Had a awesome experience and will definitely return. Golf is a game of etiquette , I know all are welcome but my only negative comment would be a pair of golfers with one wearing athletic type gym shorts the other with wind type pants. Come on guys step it up and keep it classy. If you are looking for a fun well maintained course check out Twin Hills .

Ridiculous pace of play, ridiculous managing, absolute waste of time and $$$. Course is mediocre…read moreat best, no ranger, no clue how to run a course. Course is not only based on conditions, but managing pace of play. Got there 40 min prior to check in. Was there and some group showed up at their tee time, not 10 min / 5 min, but at their exact tee time and still were not ready to tee off yet the course allowed them to go out anyways. What did this group do? They took their fuhking time, jacking up pace of play, holding up everyone, just complete losers. They had clearly (2) to (3) holes in front of them and the course put a single out the back nine because these A-holes took their god damn time and then this single jacked up the original jack offs. This course is a stain on the golfing community and I will not ever step foot at this course and employ others to do the same.
