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 for the cost. Solid layout, good condition greens, and great service like the outside grill at the turn. We had a group trying to play as a six group in front of us. The marshall was quick to respond and break them up.

Always Overbooked
Nice course, but impossible to play with the consistent over-booking. I tried to get in a quick 9 on Sunday evening and had to leave after 5 holes or else those 9 holes would have taken me 4 HOURS. This was not a one-off experience either, this course is almost always extremely backed up. To finish a round here you need to come equipped with extreme patience and plenty of snacks, cause you're going to be out there a WHILE.
Hint for MGMT: when you notice there aren't enough spots in your parking lot for all of your guests, ya might want to dial back the greed meter a bit. The architects knew how many cars those lots should hold when they designed the place.
Heck, just raise the rates if you have to. I'd much rather pay a little more and actually be able to play golf, than get my hopes up only to have them crushed by multiple painfully slow foursomes on every hole, all the time.
Even though Chicopee is the most conveniently located course to me, it will remain a last resort until something changes.
Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for your recent experience. We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain. We would like to make things right. Please reach out to our management team at the pro shop.

Rain out.
1st time playing at this course.
Got in 9 holes before the sky's opened up and the course was soaked as were we.
Nice course and greens were in great condition until flooded.
My wife and I would like to come back to play the whole course.

Great course except for the weather.
My son and I enjoyed the 10 holes we got to play before being inundated by a 1 and a half hour thunderstorm. I didn’t try to get a rain check due to the fact that I live 2 1/2 hours away in Asheville,NC, so I don’t have any idea when I could have redeemed the rain check. The course was a fair challenge and I very much enjoyed our day.
I am a daily player by the way

Great day at Chicopee
I really like the course, it is always in great condition. I really appreciate the staff, they work with me very well for tee times as my group of 12 play there several times a year. Veterans special $39 Monday are appreciated.
