Chicopee Woods Golf Course - Village Nine
About
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.

Slow and painful
It should never take 6 hours to finish a round. I think this statement says it all..

First time out this year so expectations were low!

Worst i’ve ever seen chicopee. Fairways are a dirt track and pace of play is just under 3 hour for 9. 27 holes and you’d think they can plan tee times accordingly but i guess that’s not the case.

Avoid this course at all costs. Pace of play is ridiculous, they have 27 holes and still can’t manage to properly set up tee times. Each 9 took just about 3 hours alone. Fairways are a dirt track but greens are somewhat decent. Not worth the money.

Impressed
Extremely impressed with Chicopee. Course is in really good condition coming out of winter conditions, fairways greening up, tee boxes in good shape, greens looking good; best conditions I have played this year by far. Staff was excellent and rangers did a great job of people staying on pace. Will certainly be back and thank you for a great round.

Paid to wait 6 hours for walking high schoolers
Horrible planing, stuff doesnt care at best. Not fair to pay and wait on a course full or people walking. If you have 6 hours for a round then be my guest!

Mid Msrch
I play here weekly and I enjoy the three sets of nine holes so you occasionally get a bit different experience .
The greens are in great shape and looking forward to the fairways and tee boxes improving as the weather warms.

Chicopee has a great staff to help you find everything and get you playing! The practice facilities are some of the best in the area and the courses are always in good condition.

Very nice public course
This is one of the better public courses you will find in North Georgia. The often full parking lot is evidence of this! The staff is efficient and friendly. In the past two years, they have spent a lot of money on grounds maintenance, new rest rooms on the course (that are kept clean), thining out the woods, and new plantings.
And they have added GPS devices to the carts, which in addition to helping with distances, they have a “pace of play” indicator.
The whole course is up and down and sideways throughout. Very challenging in that most times there is some form of other than flat stance to deal with. A driver on a Par 5 isn’t an automatic. The fairways vary. Some are very tight others wide open. There are holes you’ll have a serious live/hate relationship with.
Despite the heavy play, even through the winter, the greens are in pretty good condition. Note to some of my fellow golfers: you can thank me for repairing your ball marks.
There are several tee boxes for each level of play. Tee boxes are a weakness. The large volume of play in the past few years are taking their toll. They need work. So do the sand traps which can be inconsistent. There are ample number of rakes for the players to use after playing from the trap.
My favorite hole is #1 Mill, a wide open, downhill par 5. It can be eagle’d or tripled. The least liked hole there is #6 School; that tiered green is inappropriate for hole like this. The approach is very difficult and with the cart path restrictions the hole plays very slow already.
But overall, this is a fun course that plays in 4.5 hours.

Great value; terrific greens
This is a very well run operation. Greens are in great shape and staff is terrific. Pace of play is okay for a public course.
