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.

Wow! Exactly what a day at the course should be

Tried this layout on a whim on a Friday. Friendly, accommodating and I got paired up with 3 great people. Would join this place in a heartbeat. Layout fair but challenging, no trick holes or blind shots, amazing golf!

great course TERRIBLE pace of Play

The course was in good shape and the staff is nice. The pace of play was terrible. There are (3) 9's at Chicopee. Each 9 had at least 1 or 2 groups waiting to tee off. We could not tee off at our tee time due to it being stacked up and were not able to finish our round.

Decent course

Nice course, but needs touched up around the edges. Staff could be more professional.

Greens have a textured feel and the ball doesn’t roll smooth.

3.5 / 5.

Always worth the drive

Noticable improvements with cart paths. Faiways and tee boxes were full and smooth. Greens a little bumpy, likely due to recent punching.

Cart Path Only in Dry Conditions

Beautiful course! Greens were just aerated which is always a disappointment but understandable. The part that I don’t understand was the cart path only in very dry conditions and uncut fairways. We did get a big storm on Thursday but by Sunday the fairway was very dry and hard and it was still cart path only. We weren’t told this before we teed off but found out when our carts wouldn’t allow us on the fairway. Me for one and I know many others would rather not play with Cart path only. I would have rather walked and brought my pull cart.

Recently aerated just fyi

Greens were recovering but they recently aerated and nothing was noted when booking tee time. Still a little bumpy. Pace of play was miserable. 4 groups on one hole (9 on school) and marshal just drove on by doing nothing.

Best value within 1 hour of ATL in any direction

Really nice course for the price. Great range set up. Clubhouse would be sweet with a little interior face lift. Pace of play was horrific. Really needs to be enforced. We aren’t pros out here. If you lose a ball or miss hit one you shouldnt spend 10 minutes looking or re-teeing. You still

Won’t break 90 :)

Greens are improving

Great course that is always in good shape. There are lots of blind shots, but the new GPS shows you where the carts in front of you are located on the hole which protects everyone! Great idea.

Greens were aerated in July, so they are still a little sandy & slow compared to normal. I imagine they will be back to normal by mid August. Still playable, but not perfect.

Blind shots are everywhere

Thank goodness the cart has GPS even though we were CPO the day we played. Checkin was fine not much explanation of how to check in but we got paired with a single that golf here so he showed us the process.

The course is crazy hilly. We play normally at Crystal falls which is hilly but nothing like this. Don't even think about walking this course unless your half Billy goat. The views are pretty but the golf? It's blind shots for most tee shots, blind shots to elevated greens. Blind shots around sharp dog legs, blind 2nd and 3 rd shots on par 5 holes. There are so many blind shots it feels like a Xmas gift when you get any shot you can actually see where you're hitting to. Not for us but maybe this is something you like...
