Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine
About
Located in Gainesville, Chicopee Woods Golf Course is one of the area's most popular public courses. The 27-hole layout is divided intro three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The nines, the Village, the School, and the Mill, share a beautiful rolling landscape provided by the surrounding foothills of the Appalachians. The School nine is the second longest of the three. Water comes into play on four holes, more than on any of the other nines. The course finishes with a memorable water hole. The par-5 ninth hole has two ponds that wrap around the green. Besides the water, you'll also have strategically placed bunkers to contend with. There are many challenging holes at Chicopee Woods G.C., but none of the courses are overly punishing for high handicappers.

Great course
I've played Chicopee 3-4 times. I wish it was closer to my house so I could get there after work. Love the layout and the 3 par nine courses. I will be back soon.
Solid Course
Love this course! Always in good shape, cat paths are perfect and greens and bunkers in fantastic shape!
Enjoyable Day
Overall course is in good condition. Fairways filling in nicely, greens are recovered for the most part and tee boxes were decent. They have added sod to the bare spots and were watering to make it take. Definitely worth playing
Does anybody at Chicopee know what too dressing greens ia for?
Why bother with a mini aeration if you don't top dress the greens, and roll them.
Chicopee could take some sugar sand out of their new bunkers and too dress the greens. Nobody would miss the sand in the bunkers since there's so much already.
Chicopee doesn't care, they still get tons of olay.
Great Course
I’ve played here many times over 10-15 years and twice this week. The course is in great shape and the improvements, although mostly do little for the golf round, certainly make the course a nicer outdoor experience. Over the past year or two, they’ve replaced cart paths, added a ton of landscape and recently hardscape and cleaned out much of the wooded area underbrush. It all looks really nice. I give them an A+ for course condition . The pace of play for this week’s rounds were great compared to problematic pace over the past several years. I hope it’s an intentional improvement and not a one off situation. This week’s pace was greatly appreciated.
In my opinion and experience the staff has always felt distant, artificial and unengaged throughout my entire time playing here. Almost like you’re not a customer and they don’t want to be there. The staff on Friday demonstrated a new level of disrespect. Enough said and nothing that will stop me from playing / recommending the course. Play the course. It really is worth playing.
Great place to play
Enjoyed the round. Was paired with good guys. Nice warm up area. Staff was great. Al the starter was super.
Upgraded
I have played this course many times. They have spent a lot of time and money to beautify this course around the tees and greens. Makes the course look so much better.
Favorite course around
Always enjoy rounds at Chicopee! Incredible layout, greens and amenities. Pace of play could be better but overall the best course in the area. Pure all around!
Best kept secret
