Chicopee Woods Golf Course is a public, 27-hole layout in Gainesville. The course is tucked amongst the Appalachian foothills, giving it a scenic terrain of rolling hills. The holes are divided into three nines: the Village, the Mill, and the School, that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. Five sets of tees provide even more variety. The Village nine is the longest of the three and it's also the driest. There is only a small lake beside the second hole. That doesn't mean the golf course isn't challenging though, you'll still face several strategically placed bunkers. There are a few scattered trees but the course is mostly open and offers some room for error. In addition to the 27 holes, Chicopee Woods G.C. also has a driving range and chipping and putting greens.

In desperate need of new management.

One of the worst managed and run courses in America. Pace of play doesn’t exist. It’s a fun little course if you can play when it’s not overbooked and you’re not having to wait 10+ minutes in every hole. But it’s almost always overbooked.

Fantastic course. Bermuda greens are smooth and fast. Only downside is pace of play. The average round is 5 hours which is fine if you have nowhere else to be. Definitely worth the money.

First time playing here. Played Mill to Village. Great course layout and green conditions. Tough day with high winds. Greens were hard to read and difficult but in great shape. Will be back when everything greens up.

Great First Outing

My friends and I played this course for the first time last week and were quickly won over by the quality of the course, the amenities, and the friendliness of the staff. After just one round this is now my new favorite golf course.

We played the Village and the School and can’t wait to come back to play the other 3rd.

Very very good experience at this golf course.

Great layout but many will struggle with the tough layout

Course conditions were hard and fast which is real challenge with many fairways and greens having extreme edges. Played from the blue tees and despite hitting the driver great.. found it very hard to hit the greens. Par 4 6th hole on village and school are tough par 4's

I enjoyed it but the lady partner struggled to reach fairways and had zero chance of getting over the water on 6th on village.. It is a why bother to play hole.. I hit a driver 6 iron to green but shows it is a course for good players..

Greens were fine and conditions pretty solid. Playing mid week we finished in under 4 hours but could see how weekends could be slow. There were rangers everywhere which is not common on many course. Staff were excellent ..

Pace of play will kill you.

Conditions are always solid but the last couple years the pace of play has been excruciating. Regularly 5 hour rounds. There is a particular community of players known for slow play and they have overrun the course. Marshalls during the round were useless, making excuses rather than doing something about the slow play. Teed off twenty minutes late and still took 5 hours to play.

Great Spring Round

Chilly and windy day, but the course was in very nice shape for early spring.

Layout was tough, but realistic.

Staff is always top notch, starting at check in, to starter, to Marshalls, beverage gal, and the grill inside the clubhouse.

Highly Recommend!

I think it's a good 27-hole course.

The course layout was good, the length was reasonable, and it was a fairly good golf course.

However, it was not a good experience that day because the team in front played so slowly that the pace of the game continued to slow down.

I wish the green speed was a little faster.

Great course but very slow

Very slow play. Cart path only doesn’t help but tee times seemed stacked too close together. After playing 9 in 2hrs 45mins we decided to leave and go have lunch. 10th hole was stacked with 4 groups between the tee box and green. Will probably be back but probably during the week.

Nice course, too many people.

Way too many people. Slowest pace of play. Took almost two hours to get through 6 holes. Need to work on how many tee times you let in at once.
