Chicopee Country Club

Even with all the rain in Western Mass this course remains relatively dry, due it’s superior drainage.

IGM continues to make improvements and keeps the greens / fairways in fine shape. Unfortunately, there is no ranger patrolling and “coaching” some slow players along. That would help, since Wednesday was a nice weather day, with a larger than usual amount of players. The round took 4.5 hours, which is about 1 hour longer than usual. We stopped into the bar for a beer and was treated by a friendly female bartender. Although some of the high end micro brews were priced a bit on the high side ($9 a pint), the bar area is clean with a comfortable atmosphere. Weather permitting, you can enjoy a fairly large deck overlooking the 9th green. I have been playing Chicopee CC for decades and always enjoy a fun and moderately challenging round at this course. I hope it doesn’t get too popular with people out of the Western Mass area. Too much popularity means crowded and higher priced play.

Overall I would give this course a 8 out of 10. A worthwhile play if in the area.

The course is coming around nicely from the winter. Fairways are good and getting better, greens are bumpy from the aeration, a couple of rough patches, could use some rolling and cutting, a little slow for my taste.

Overall it is getting better and with warmer weather it should be in fine shape.

The course is waking up, the tees are in good shape, fairways are coming around , greens are in poor shape. They aerated, sanded and are bumpy, some rough patches still. It is very hard to roll a putt, they bounce all over the place. For this time of the year it is good, I am sure they will have it in awesome shape in a couple of weeks.

Good early conditions, but green were still recovering from being aerated.

This course has a great front 9, but it’s over rated a bit. Very busy course, and pace of play is slower than most. The back nine has a strange design. One hole has a net to keep balls out of the practice area and club house, and then there are 2 par 3’s in a row that play to nearly the same yardage and elevation. The back 9 seems like a design after-thought. The greens are the best aspect of the course. Very well manicured. There are few courses that I would not recommend because we all love golf and each course offers something new, but Chicopee is over rated in my opinion.

Sanded greens but otherwise only issue was slow play. 3 or 4 groups on course slowest group in front at one point 3 groups on 1 tee!!

The course maintenance crew deserve a lot of credit for managing a very tough season for most courses with the rain, heat etc. This course managed to keep the greens and overall course conditions in excellent shape. Hats off to the entire Team.

Played with three military people and completely enjoyed the round. Nice people who were fun to play golf with.

Course was in great shape but it appears no one who golfs there fixes their ball marks on the green. Nice layout, Played 18 in 4: 30.

The course was in good shape and it’s an enjoyable layout without many hazards. Very scorable. Some of the traps had a lot of rocks and were pretty hard. Other traps were fine, so it just depended on which one you were in. The only issue we had was that there wasn’t enough drinking water on the course. It was a very hot and humid day and we were pretty drained without having sufficient water. The beverage cart didn’t come around until we were on #16 which was way too late to help. Otherwise, it was a good day and we’d definitely go back.

Excellent course

Layout is secluded which is very nice.

My brother in law and I had a great time.

We would definitely go back again.
