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.

First Time with my Daughter
Everything was great. The Village was the easiest side, but, The School is a beast. Very challenging.
The only complaint we had was that the clubhouse was closed and no one could you the restroom. Aside from that, our foursome was very happy with the way the day went.
We will be back.
Thanks,
Ken

Todays golf at Chicopee
Last week I played 4 very nice courses at the beach. None of them could hold a candle to Chicopee It is without a doubt the finest public golf course I have ever played and I have played many. Fairways are great and the greens are even better. The only thing I could recommend is that the rangers do their job on pace of play. Today we sat on a par five waiting on a foursome ahead of us. Those guys were all walking off in the woods looking for balls it was ridiculous. We finally had to skip a hole or it would have been a six hour round. I strongly recommend that they enforce pace of play if that is done this course would be among the best I ever played. Well done Chicopee!

Disappointed
No reason for the greens to be hairy and slow. Chicopee always has great greens., but they were very slow.

Pace of play.
Marshall’s should be used to enforce pace of play. There was a twosome that held up the entire course. There were at least 6 groups of four between us and them and usually at least two groups waiting on each tee box.
Also the Schools greens were extremely shaggy and slow compared to the rest of the course

I play Chicopee Woods quite often and have for years. With recent upgrades and the overall shape of the course, you really can't beat it for the price. From the tee boxes to the fairways to the greens, and now with the new cart paths, everything is above Par!
Tim, thank you for your kind words! The team has worked very hard to get where we are, and we appreciate golfers like you taking notice. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Chicopee Woods Golf Course - School Nine
Slow Pace but Great Conditions
The pace of play was super slow. I believe tee times are around 5 minutes apart which combined with players who emulate a pro golfer except for the actual score is a recipe for a 5+ hour round. I expected more from the "ranger" since the course has GPS technology. They should know which group is behind & they should have 1 shot at catching up if not, they pick up & move to the next hole.
The course is in great shape - tees & fairways are greening up nicely. The greens are a bit on the slow side in comparison to previous rounds there.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
