Chicopee Woods Golf Course - Village Nine
Played On 09/24/2021Pace of play, pace of play!
Pace of play was absolutely glacial. They had an event but it went off 30 minutes late leading to incredible delays. Never fewer than 3 groups on a hole. Otherwise fine course but can’t get in a rhythm with the pace. 2:45 for 9 holes is unacceptable

Played On 07/13/2020Bad layout with worse conditions
With your money you can do a lot better in Atlanta. I jumped on a cheap round on golfnow which said that the course had recently been aerated. However, the greens were actually the part of the course in the best condition. They were fast, firm, and pretty true.
The problem was everything else.
First the layout: the course consists of numerous doglegs with lots of elevation change and narrow fairways with lots of slope on them. However, there is so much overhang from the trees all around that this becomes a round of target golf where you need to keep the driver in the bag for all but 1 or 2 holes. Even then, there were numerous times where the ball would just take a bad bounce in the fairway and you're all of a sudden on the other side in deep rough. Just not a lot of fun
Second condition: I've never seen fairways so full of weeds, cart paths so broken down, so many dirt patches both in the fairway and rough, and worst of all were the bunkers (if you can call them that). Most had significant standing water or haven't been raked in months. Further, they all had a ton of erosion; you were hitting in dirt/clay.
The round was quick which is the best I can say for the ourse. All and all, could just do a lot better for your money here in Atlanta
