Agawam Municipal Golf Course

Always a joy to.play Agawam, Tom and his staff are the best.Kudos to the superintendent and ground crew for their great work in keeping this hidden gem in great condition. A must play

I have played here for about 20 years and the current ownership has done a great job making it better than it ever was before.

Greens were patchy and spongy, but this place is definitely always worth every penny.

The greens aren't the best (spongy and patchy), but tge rest of the course was in good shape.

Timely tee times with no pace of play issues. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The food was also really good after the round. Clean as well! Considering my 2023 membership at this course.

The course in general was in good condition, greens were good but I would definitely play here if you are a beginner or just learning how to play. The course is very straight forward on the front 9 and honestly kind of boring. The back 9 I would recommend it was miles better than the front 9. More challenging and honestly pretty fun. I went out on a Saturday and got stuck in a line of 3-5 carts at every tee box because nobody knew how to play and would hit the ball about 15 yards in front of them. It took a long time to play 18 but maybe I caught it at the wrong time. You get what you pay for. It’s not a bad course by any means but spend the money elsewhere if you know how to play but I definitely would recommend for people with a lower skill level or people just trying to get back “into the swing of things,” literally lol.

This crew is doing a great job in getting this course in shape after a very wet spring

The superintendent and crew deserve much credit for getting the course in the shape it is considering the enormous amount of rain this spring. Always an enjoyable time at Agawam

This course never manages to dry out this early in the year, the holes on the green are full of water. Greens could also use some work, very uneven cuts. Good prices but also was packed and overbooked. Took 2.5 hours to play 9 holes as we got stuck behind a 5-some.

On a surprisingly pleasant late fall afternoon at this reliable muni, I played an enjoyable round, also meeting some interesting “Golf Now” guys out on the course, then joining them for a few of the closing holes. We all agreed that this is one of the top value offerings, combining, as it does, quality with a fair price.

What I like most about playing this layout, in short, is the neat contrast between the open front side and the much tighter--and more difficult--inward half. Certainly, on the front you may enjoy yourself and, if all goes to plan, make a good score, but you’ll also need to steel yourself for what is to come, starting with the short but brutal par-3 ninth.

Conditions were surprisingly good for this time of year, especially on the smooth putting surfaces here. The fairways weren’t bad, either. Only the bunkers needed a bit of attention, but who’s complaining on November 21st? The atmosphere is also friendly in the pro shop and around the clubhouse.

On the seventh tee today, a red fox appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, as I was waiting to hit my driver (see picture). A golfer from fairway eight tipped me off that he or she was imminently approaching. The fox appeared curious about whether my golf ball was edible or not, but, after knocking it off the tee, left it on the ground and casually departed the scene.

It was an unusually warm day mid-November so the course was busy. Started about 15 minutes after our tee time. But pace moved along pretty well, as we finished 9 holes in just over 2 hours.
Second time playing since late summer. Everyone played well and enjoyed the game.
We’ll be back.
