Agawam Hunt

An absolutely superior experience. A private course where paying visitors are treated like members. The members also treat visitors as if they were members. Played as a twosome and a foursome ahead of us was holding us up a bit. They asked us if we wanted to play through, which was not expected as they were the members not us. Ended up getting around in three hours and 15 minutes. Did I say this is a private not a public course.

Don’t let the yardage fool you. It is a par 69 so add 300 yards or so for the actual ‘playing’ yardage, if it were a par 72. I am 69 and drive the ball 200 to 210. There were numerous par fours that I could not reach in two. The greens were extremely undulating adding to the challenge.

I cannot recommend Agawam Hunt enough. If you appreciate great architecture, variety, superb conditions and a fun, challenging course you will also love it. Thank you to the club for allowing public play.

The attached picture is of the par three, second hole.

Worst range setup with people literally hitting balls up the 18th fairway. Course is immaculate. Greens are true. Par 3s are all short. The whole course is tight, meaning tee boxes and greens are often very close. I’d play again.

Upon arrival I was immediately greeted by an attendant in the parking lot with a warm , friendly welcome and a cart . The young lady in the club house was equally as gracious as she checked in my group , collected greens fees and kindly went over the layout of the course . Our tee time was for 9:00AM but we were able to tee off a bit earlier . The course was pristine. Classic Donald Ross design made for a fun yet challenging day . We finished our round in 3 hours . I highly recommend Agawam Hunt to anyone that hasn’t had the opportunity to play this R.I. gem. I will definitely be back soon . Kudos to Agawam Hunt for partnering with golfnow to offer non member tee times .

Great conditions, great pace of play. 3.5 hours for 18. Friendly staff. Great day!

Played 18 in under 3 hours. Course was in great shape. Even a little wet in a few spots. Greens were fast even with the light sanding but rolled true. Will definitely play again!!

Both the greens and fairways were in excellent condition. The layout is diverse, which makes this course fun to play. They also do a great job spacing tee times out so you do not feel on top of anyone. Would easily recommend this course to anyone.

Loved the course and the challenging layout. Greens were fast and rolled great. Fairways were fabulous. Elavations changes made the round interesting. The staff was exceptional and clubhouse was goregous. The only negative was that it was a little expensive, but I was happy we took advantage of the rare public tee time and gave it a shot.

Liked the course overall. With Metacomet closing and the membership spike at Agawam as a result, tee times are hard to come by, so I jumped at the opportunity. It is a fun course with greens that can be very difficult if you aren’t familiar with them. Definitely a challenging course that is worth the money.

Conditions were excellent, especially the greens for late March

Private course so can be pricey compared to others. But extremely fun to play with bunkers, creeks, trees, and water all in abundance. Def worth playing. Played out of season and the greens were very true and fast.

I see other reviews touring this as a Donald Ross course. Couldn’t be further from the truth. This s a Cornish course and you can easily see that. Club has definitely fallen on hard times as they call themselves a Private Club but it is really a semi-Private Club now. The conditions are so so, greens are good but the bunkers need to be redone and a lot other course maintenance which has been put off.
The Staff is awesome though.

The course is a gem. The layout is fair but challenging. The par 4's can bite you in a flash. No "gimmie" par 3's. The pro, Norm, is an absolute gentleman and genouosly wants you to enjoy yourself. Kudos to Agawam and GolfNow for creating a partnership that allows non-members the pleasure of playing this beauty!!

Staff will move your tee time to accommodate members. Also, if you’re booking through Golfnow you are not allowed to use the range.
