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.

Nice course.
We were waiting on the group(s) in front, yet the cart was telling us our pace was too slow. Made the round feel rushed. Other golfers were waiting behind us. Probably overbooked tee times.
Too many people. Way too many.
I know a course need to make money, but over booking everyday is greedy and it takes the fun out of the game of golf. This needs to be fixed or you will lose more clients like me.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Great find.
My first time playing Chicopee Woods. Two of my foursome had never played here. I was impressed with the course design and the standard of grounds keeping. This is a pleasant course to play and the staff was very nice. The cart electronics were helpful with terrain and yardages and they also provided feedback on pace of play. The food at the grill was also tasty. This was a pleasurable outing for my foursome and I expect to play this course in the future.
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine.
Still a good place tomplay
Played here last week also; greens actually improved a little which was nice as they were really good last week.
A little slow for my taste, but in excellent condition this week. I am still surprised how well they keep the course considering the volume they have here. Always a good place to play a round.

Unnecessary Additions
I have always really liked this course. Always thought it was well maintained, well managed and value oriented. I’m not sure now. As I understand it, this is a county owned course and all profits are to be put back into the course. Keep in mind the tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in really good shape. So, congrats on that. However, prices keep increasing and they are spending a boatload of money all of which doesn’t seem necessary. In the recent year they made some really nice improvements to the cart path surface. Great. Needed. Appreciated. They spent a lot on landscaping. Mainly plants and bushes. Way too many. ,Now they’re adding wider pavement to cart paths at tee boxes and greens. I’m sure it will be nice once completed. However, simply not a wise spend of money. Not logical at all. And it’s a mess. Sand bunkers look very nice. However, if you step into most, they’re hard in a great deal of the bunker surface. Spend the money from wider tee box and greens cart path widening on the bunkers. Or, here’s a novel thought. Since the regular cart paths, tee boxes, fairways and greens all look really well and the course plays well…. Reduce the price to play. Basically, my opinion is they’ve taken a really nice course and gone overboard on spending on pavement and landscaping. which will cost everyone more as time passes. This is not Augusta National. . I’ll continue to play it unless the price to play increases due to perceived and additional unnecessary spend. As said above, tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in really good shape. However, someone’s out of control with the checkbook.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Randall. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine thanks you!

A Gem in NE GA
You can’t beat having 27 holes, a first rate practice facility, and super friendly staff. We have had a lot of rain this spring so there are quite a few more bare spots on the tees and fairways this year Vs last year. The grounds crew is working diligently to get the place in shape. I look forward to more great rounds.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round Jim! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine.
Great course!
As always, great staff, bar, pro shop and course. And of course, I still can’t putt.

Always a good place to play.
Course in good shape, some work going on, but did not interfere with the round. Greens a bit firm, but I like them firm. Tee boxes in great shape. Fairways in good shape with a few rough spots, but nothing that interfered with play. I believe this course is priced fairly. Thumbs up to the staff; this place puts a great many golfers though every single day. Considering the volume and course condition, the staff should be very proud of their hard work. Always a good place to play.

Very nice track and an excellent value.
Zero complaints about this course. Tees, fairways and greens were all in good shape. It is a fun and fair layout, and a very good value for the money.
I will definitely play this one again the next time I am in the area.
An interesting feature here is brand new cart paths with white lines along both edges of the paths. The lines provide a really nice visual. I have not seen this at any other courses.
