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.

A day out
The course was in excellent conditions for this time of year. They replaced the cart paths in the past two years, the best anywhere in the metro area. The staff is friendly, the course is a little way’s out, but worth the drive. My only complaint is, the marshals should put more emphasis on pace of play…
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine.
Getting too slow.
I love this course and all the people who work there. It is just getting way too slow. Whether it is overbooking, the lack of marshalls, or both, it's getting painful. The tournaments that I also play in don"t help. You would think we are playing for our very lives, it is so slow.
Also not politically correct but the infestation of South Koreans and their all around poor ettiquette on the course is getting out of hand. Hitting into us on multiple occaisions during our last round, failure to ever rake a bunker for the group in front of us, etc. ,makes it an unenjoyable round for everyone. Please get marshalls back out there.

One of the best public courses in the area
Fantastic value which is why it stays busy. Can be on the slow side, but the new yardage display should help with pace of play due to not having to look up yardages and also advises if you are ahead or behind the expected pace of play.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Chicopee Woods Golf Course thanks you!

Course is in great shape.
I appreciate Chicopee Woods for keeping all three 9s so well maintained. They've added quite a few bushes in recent weeks also, which will be beautiful in the Spring when they bloom. Good job staff!

October Play
Love the efforts underway to install GPS. My cart was updated. Played this course a lot in past. First time with GPS. Even though few bugs in system, it was Great. Telling me I’m in a restricted zone while sitting on cart path. 😳😎
Newly install and finished cart paths also very nice.
Little overkill on azaleas to course. However, nice.
Pace of play still a little slow. Chicopee is known (my experience) for overbooking the course. They need to better manage pace.
Suggest installing a couple of cameras on certain holes with big blind spots (deep holes)and then a video screen at approaching landing area to know about forward golfers. RiverPines has that on two of their holes. Huge help.
New gps in carts!!!
Love the layout , greens fast and in good shape
Fairways and traps in good shape
Tee boxes are fair . I’ll def b back
