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.

Price
Usually the course is in good shape and I understand they have to punch the greens but they were so bad there was no way to putt . I feel when it's this bad and they don't tell you when you are paying for your round well that's just wrong. They should be telling you and offering a discount because they now the course isn't in playable condition.

Sprinklers were running
I've played this course several times. It is usually one of my favorites. It is well maintained and the holes are well laid out. The only downside is that the pace of play is often slow (greater than 5 hours).
However, the most recent time I played they had the sprinklers running. We had to dodge sprinklers over the last five holes. The fairways were soggy and the balls got wet and muddy. It was quite a disappointment in what was otherwise a good day of golf.
Furthermore, although the weather was sweltering, there was no refreshment cart running that day. That was very unusual for this course.
We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with our slow pace of play, soggy conditions, and the lack of a refreshment cart. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we value your feedback and are committed to improving your next visit.
Greens recently aerated but no warning from Golf Now. Normally rate this course 4 stars.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, deladm. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Chicopee
I like this course and the layout problem was the greens were punched and sandy otherwise course is in good shape. Young guy being the starter not the most helpful or friendly need to get someone older who actually cares to talk to the golfers.

My favorite course within driving distance
Year round, this course is always impeccably maintained. Hats off to the Superintendent!
The course is not easy, but fair if u keep it in the short grass.
Little improvements noticed (New cart paths, gps on carts, etc)
It’s hard to get on early on the weekend if you’re not with a member.
If the weather is good for you, then play this course!

Great course!
Beautiful course: smooth new asphalt cart paths to manicured fairways, greens, & tee boxes. Range finder screens in carts…. awesome course.

Good course in the Gainesville area!
The course is busy but play can be done in 4 1/2 hours. There are 3 9 hole courses and they alternate frequently so you get to play a different course and sequence every weekend. The course is in pretty good shape. The cart girls frequent roughly once every 9 holes. Fees are reasonable. Book a round and enjoy yourself!
We apologize for the oversight with the green's aeration schedule and any inaccuracies in our records about your visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
