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.

At eight, a long, uphill par-5, you’ll find it’s preferable to avoid trees like this one in the left rough. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

Nine, par-3, 140. Playing steeply uphill, this is possibly the best-known, most interesting, and least liked hole at Agawam. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

There are some rigorous holes on Agawam’s back side. This par-4 at ten is one of them. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

Fourteen, a beauty of a drive-and-pitch hole that doglegs hard-right. This is its landing zone–over the stream. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

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

10th: An short but tough par-5 with big slopes everywhere. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

9th hole. 140 yards. Set on a steep hill and lethal. Among the best short 3-pars I’ve played in New England. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

Three. At index 17, one of the course’s easiest holes. The views also may be rewarding. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

The sixth. This steeply uphill 321-yarder requires touch around its green, which can be three-putt in a fingersnap. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

Thank you for visiting us at Agawam Municipal Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
We appreciate you taking the time to rate us 5 stars!
Front nine is open and easy, back nine has more trees and tight tee shots. Overall nice place for the money. Pace of play was a bit slow due to large groups ahead of us.
Thanks for your review and rating. We hope to see you back here again soon!

Great pace of play on a busy Saturday
Arrived at the course on a very busy Saturday. Check in was easy, you just have to wear a mask while in the clubhouse. They also had the bar open which was a nice surprise as most courses I’ve played during the pandemic haven’t had this. The greens were rolling very nicely and there were hardly any pitch marks in any of them. Overall the course was in really good shape. This course has a lot of elevation changes which can make club selection into greens challenging. With that being said if you like to walk the course is rather hilly, but there are carts available if you prefer not to walk.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Agawam Municipal Golf Course!

Shame!
Too many bad players and too Slow!!!
Waiting on the Tee box too long to hit !
Not good for business!!
Great round
Fairways are good. Pace of play excellent. Very friendly staff
Absolutely Horrific Conditions
I have played this track at least 50 times. This is the worst it has ever been and probably the worst course conditions I have ever played on. Most of the greens were basically half sand trap and half green; the greens were aerated (in August) but there was nothing said about it on GolfNow; the fairways were burnt to a crisp in some areas and completely soaked in others even though it hadn’t rained in 3 days! It used to be a fun track. I will never go back.
They must be selling out to a solar farm so they are half assed thing this year. Worse conditions than Hickory Ridge where a solar farm is also being put in.
par
Course was not in good shape. The greens were washed out after last rain storm. The course was very wet in spots.
Pace of play was good.
The tee boxes also need work, besides greens. Should have been given a discount for the shape of the course.
summer play
I scored like I was bowling but enjoyed the play. Course still had a lot of ground water on both the front and back holes.
Golfnow great price
Played for $20 including cart.
Took 3 hours to play 18!!
