Tricky Layout for First Timer
Very hilly course with interesting and challenging layout. Tees and greens in excellent condition. Not worth $85 for 18 with cart though for non-member.
18th hole is a joke as its fairway is also the driving range. Don't hit a yellow ball on 18th hole or you will never find your ball.
Our tee time was pushed back in favor of members who had missed their tee times or walked on. Then we were told we couldn’t use the range as it was members only.
The course is in great shape and has a fun but difficult layout.
Would play there again, if non members weren’t treated so poorly.
Superior
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.
Fantastic course
Great track. Conditions were superb! Staff super friendly. Only downside was stuck behind a foursome of VERY slow walkers for about 5 holes but after I skipped a hole and scooted by them the course was wide open. Highly recommend this Donald Ross gem.
Nice Course
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.

Thank you for reviewing us. We see you rated the course 3-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round. Feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Agawam Hunt, and we hope to see you again soon.
Highly recommend Agawam Hunt
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 .
Outstanding!
Great conditions, great pace of play. 3.5 hours for 18. Friendly staff. Great day!

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Agawam Hunt.
Great Track!!
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!!
Excellent conditions and diverse layout
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.
Beautiful
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.
Hidden Gem only recently open to public
Perfect tee boxes, great fairways and everything you’d expect from a Donald Ross design.
The fescue and bunkers are well placed. I had a couple shots that were just near misses and it seemed to get me in trouble everytime. Accuracy over length here but still a challenging well taken care of 18.
Loved driving through the garage, thought that was a quaint feature of an almost 125 year old course.
A young staff member there chatted with me for about ten minutes on the course and felt well received even tho I was not a member.
Will certainly be back again
Solid course
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.
Spring golf
Conditions were excellent, especially the greens for late March
Fun Course To Play
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.
No Donald Ross Course
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.

My Name is Norm Alberigo, and I am the Head Golf Professional at Agawam Hunt. We really appreciate the feedback from all of our customers. With that in mind, I personally was involved with the experience of the customer in this post. I would like to provide some clarity to the circumstances they describe. September 3 was Labor Day. We would not normally have inventory available until later in the day if at all. Inventory was populated earlier in the week through the auto-load program. I noticed this mistake on Wednesday night, and immediately contacted GolfNow to cancel the reservations. GN failed to execute the cancellations as the case that I filed proved after later investigation. It was after we had two reservations show up, that we realized something went wrong. The remaining reservations that were not cancelled, we honored, despite having a Member tournament earlier in the morning. Unfortunately I had member reservations that needed to be honored as well. I personally checked in all of the GN reservations, I explained the GN mistake, and I ask them to be patient as I would try to make "lemonade out of lemons". The golfer's comments above, in my opinion, do not accurately portray the manner in which we treated our customers that day. We are very proud of the manner in which we host our GN customers. We value their experience, and that day, we went out of our way to treat them as if our own. Please reference the many other posts that reflect other customer's experiences. I am confident you will observe comments that do not support the feedback this customer experienced.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Agawam Hunt. We hope to see you again in the future.
