Rating Snapshot
About
Agawam Municipal Golf Course has been a favorite among local golfers since first opening in 1944. It has a traditional layout that offers a few challenges but it's still player friendly enough for golfers of any skill levels. The holes are fairly straightforward but the gently rolling hills provide some subtly tricky elevation changes. There isn't any water on the golf course but there are mature trees lining the fairways. While it may not be what you're looking for if you're an avid golfer who wants a truly formidable test, Agawam Municipal Golf Course is not to be under-estimated. The greens can be tricky to pitch to and accuracy will take you far. This municipal course is a great spot for a quick and casual round that's also affordable.

Slow play because guys who sucked thought they were PGA and took too much time on every Green

excellent friendly course
Tom Dirico and staff both in the club house and on the course are excellent. most if not all are golfers who understand the game, it's nuances and what it takes to play the game. My friends and I are members and they can't do enough to accommodate us, other members and non members alike. Because of Tom Dirico and staff we will continue our membership.

Fall golf
play Agawam frequently. Why? Primarily because it is the perfect member course to belong to and I am a member. I started playing Agawam when I was 13….many, many years ago. Got my first eagle on the 1st hole.
However, throughout the years it was just a golf course. Play most anytime with friends. One could play Agawam, St Anne, Oak Ridge, the now gone Southwick and Edgewood, all local courses. Most of these courses were the same. Good recreational golf.
But, what changed? Amongst having an excellent greens manager, Dan….the town of Agawam made a great choice. They brought in Tommy DiRico. The town could not have brought in a better person to resurrect a golf course that was starting to slide a bit.
Together, Tommy and his staff, Dan and his greenskeeping crew have “paid” the course forward. Fairways and greens in great shape is very noticeable….and appreciated.
But Tommy and his staff have made a big difference. Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. What more could one ask for in a casual golf environment?
Thank you Town of Agawam for bringing the course to where it should be….the perfect storm of golfing and hospitality.
We are beyond happy to hear you enjoy being a member at Agawam Municipal. We strive to make an environment that everyone enjoys and keeps bringing you back. We look forward to many good times ahead with you, and we will pass on your kind words to those responsible so they can continue to help others enjoy great experiences at Agawam Municipal Golf Course.
Great Municipal Course
For a municipal course, you get more than your money’s worth. Open, straight front nine warms you up for a challenging back nine. Great conditions, friendly staff. Will play again.

Great Course; Great Prices; Relaxed
Had a great time out at Agawam Municipal. Greens had just been aerated but the course was in great shape, especially for the little rain this season.
Tee times were well spaced so even though it was busy, there was no waiting in between shots. Did not feel rushed or need to play through any groups.
For the price, this is a great course for the area. I will certainly be back soon.
