Agawam Municipal Golf Course
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.

Challenges at Agawam generally require accuracy instead of strength. This short par4, the twelfth, exemplifies that idea. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/10/2026

9th: One of the toughest short par-3’s you’ll find anywhere. Pars are elusive on this hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

Sixteen. 521 yards and loaded with challenges. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021
Too many people on the course taking way too many strokes. Many foursomes were already double the par by the time they reached the green. Then they all 3 and 4 putted on top of that.

Horrible conditions
Greens had sand patches all over them. Fairways were all muddy and full of puddles. It cost $15 to play 18 and I don't think it was even worth it.

Good course. It is well maintained for a municipal course. Challenging for intermediate golfers.
Thanks so much for your great review. We're ecstatic you had such a wonderful time!
Good value
Beginning golfer so not much to compare but had a lot of fun. Great experience booking through Golfnow. Discovered they always include the cart even though I expected to walk. Last to join a party of 3 others so I only paid $14. No one was pushing us along in the 90° heat. First course I didn't lose a ball on lol. I will be back.

Great day on the course
My brothers came in to play from out of state and loved the course. Granted, we're not country club guys and didn't want to spend a lot of dough so Agawam fit the bill perfectly! The staff in both the pro shop and lounge were friendly and professional. We'll be back...eventually. Thanks for everything you guys!
Andy

Over booked. Had to wait on every hole. People constantly hitting into our fairways
Thanks for you honest feedback, and for coming out to the course. We apologize you had to wait during your round, but we hope you'll give us another try again in the future.
Course was in good shape, no waiting, great time except that mask wearing inside was not enforced making it an uncomfortable trip inside.
