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
Nice layout and very good condition for the price. However, pace of play was unreasonably slow. Did not see any ranger asking groups to play faster - a real downside to an otherwise great day
Starters!
There needs to be starters riding through and speeding up groups! We played a 6 hour round with us waiting on tee box’s all day.
Not worth it
Not even remotely worth it for the money. Start with crappy beat up range balls, the greens are slow and very bumpy, it’s impossible to keep a putt on line or on the ground. Then we made the turn and they had let of bunch of players off the back nine in front of us and it almost an hour longer to play the back than the front. The range didn’t do anything or apologize to us.
The layout is good but the course is just not fun to play.
Great value
Great course for the price, the pace of play was on us, we never waited. Course was in good shape. Bathrooms were even clean on the course.
Wonderful course
Greens in perfect shape. Fairways and tees also great. Challenging course with plenty of slopes. Worth the hour drive for me.
Great Conditions!
As always the course is in excellent shape! This place never disappoints!!
Tee Tom
Course was in great condition, greens were at a great speed, pace of play was great, can’t wait to play again. You should give it a try.
Tee Tom
Loved this round of golf. Course was in great condition. Greens were in perfect condition. Must the best course around right now. Would recommend you to give it a try. You can’t go wrong on this course.
Best of Chicopee
Perfect greens and just a wonderful job for the maintenance to keep this busy course top notch
Twilight at Chicopee
Played a late twilight 9 on School. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Good pace of play. Like the new covered seating area at the practice range.
Slow Play
I have one complaint . I was a single and was paired up with to other guys and we were to follow a 4some of women. They would not let us play through and we backed up 2 groups deep behind them. Ranger did not have them increase the pace of play or let faster groups play through. This made for a long round of golf.
Challenging course
Great practice facility to get warmed up. Course was in great shape. Greens rolled smooth. They spaced tee times out so there no waiting
