Agawam Municipal Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Agawam Municipal Golf Course has been a favorite among local golfers since first opening in 1944. It has a traditional layout that offers a few challenges but it's still player friendly enough for golfers of any skill levels. The holes are fairly straightforward but the gently rolling hills provide some subtly tricky elevation changes. There isn't any water on the golf course but there are mature trees lining the fairways. While it may not be what you're looking for if you're an avid golfer who wants a truly formidable test, Agawam Municipal Golf Course is not to be under-estimated. The greens can be tricky to pitch to and accuracy will take you far. This municipal course is a great spot for a quick and casual round that's also affordable.

Nine, par-3, 140. Playing steeply uphill, this is possibly the best-known, most interesting, and least liked hole at Agawam. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

There are some rigorous holes on Agawam’s back side. This par-4 at ten is one of them. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

Fourteen, a beauty of a drive-and-pitch hole that doglegs hard-right. This is its landing zone–over the stream. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

8th, 518 yards. Excellent par-5 that puts a premium on the uphill drive. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

9th: One of the toughest short par-3’s you’ll find anywhere. Pars are elusive on this hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

10th: An short but tough par-5 with big slopes everywhere. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

17th. Short but straight uphill after the drive, this par-5 features an extremely tight landing zone for the approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

9th hole. 140 yards. Set on a steep hill and lethal. Among the best short 3-pars I’ve played in New England. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

Three. At index 17, one of the course’s easiest holes. The views also may be rewarding. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

The sixth. This steeply uphill 321-yarder requires touch around its green, which can be three-putt in a fingersnap. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

My favorite hole: the 11th. Wide-open and steeply downhill on the drive, but treacherous into the plateau green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

Overall good course to play with several challenging holes.
Several greens need repair of large brown spots and some need to be smoothed out.
Early in the season.

A little dry
Heat came on suddenly this year and early for irrigation so the course was a little dry. Got a lot of extra roll on the fairways😉

Hello, katinhat55. Thank you for visiting us at Agawam Municipal Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Wet! Wet! Wet!
On this day we were allowed to take carts without restrictions? I am not sure what they were thinking as the course was soaked with standing water in fairways and cart paths. Normally this is a great track and layout. I almost got stuck twice in the middle of fairways. Most holes could be 90* but be careful.
The staff were amazing, always friendly and willing to get you out without a hassle. I live in CT. and don't mind driving here for a great day of golf!

Good Day at Agawam CC
Rained the day before, so some parts of the course was “soggy”. Besides that course was in good shape.

Overcharged my account

Hello, u1925717. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Agawam Municipal Golf Course. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
Pretty fun course
Early spring wet conditions but we had a good time. Back 9 is definitely more challenging with the front 9 having a bit straiter fairways and playing like a links course with a few trees. Little disappointed the grill wasn’t going but had a turkey sandwich at the turn and enjoyed it. Although I have to say $9 is a bit much for a basic sandwich. I’d like to mention the staff was very friendly and would recommend for others to give this place a shot. A few water hazards could make this course a lot better. But for the price it’s not a bad little course.
Hi, MShea1990! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Agawam Municipal Golf Course!
Slow play
Slow play because guys who sucked thought they were PGA and took too much time on every Green
Hello, Gregory9157716. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Course closed
When I arrived at the course, they didn’t open. They mentioned that was by the low temperature. It was reasonable, but not refunded the convenience fee. I believe that they or golfnow should have not opened the tee time if it was not reasonable time by the temperature.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Agawam Municipal Golf Course!
The pace of play is usually really good and like other courses can be a bit slow when everyone is out playing on what may be the last nice day to play. The staff were very busy and friendly as always.
Thank you for your review, rtorres68. We will pass along your experience to our team at Agawam Municipal Golf Course.
