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.

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.
Basic up and back golf
Pretty basic layout. Nothing really exciting. So many par 3 holes.
Good if you just want to go and hit and run but nothing challenging or picturesque.
Thanks for taking the time to review us, and for your feedback!
We had a great time!
It is our anniversary today! My wife told me if I wanted to golf 18 holes today she would love to drive the cart at the course. I was thrilled, I told her I would love to have her with me.
Happy Anniversary! We're so happy that you chose to spend your anniversary with us, and we hope you had a wonderful time!
Not bad for the money.
First time playing in a course and it was a decent experience. For the money you get a whole lot. I would play here again in the future for sure. A few things would make it better but can’t complain for what I paid.
Thanks for coming out to the course! We appreciate any and all feedback, so feel free to reach out to us in the golf shop!
Easy layout, challenging greens
The fairways here have always been a little bit of a dog track and there's some burnout spots on the greens. Overall, course is in decent shape and played pretty quickly. There's just much nicer places to play locally that are worth the extra $10-$20.
Hello soxh8r. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Good deal
Played at 7:15 on a Tuesday morning. 18 holes in just over three hours. Course is quite manageable. Greens needed to be cut but two days of rain made it impossible. Enjoyable and worth 15$.
We appreciate your feedback, and we also thank you for coming out to the course!
Busy
The course is in great shape, and it is a fun course to play.
However, they schedule groups too close together, every 8 minutes. The cost for the course is very affordable. This leads to a lot of people playing the course that aren't very skilled, and thus play very slow due to poor shots.
As a result, there are major backups immediately. We teed off approximately 15 minutes later than our scheduled tee time. It took almost 5 hours to finish the 18 holes. The course was very busy and extremely slow.
If I was the course manager I'd spread the tee times to every 15 minutes. It'll be less people, but the pace would be better and it would be more enjoyable for those playing.
Adawam Muni Course
It was a very good first round of the year. I got paired with a couple of very nice young guys.
Be aware, though, that there is no water to drink on the course due to COVID restrictions (?) So bring a big bottle of drink with you.
Thanks for coming out the course. We appreciate your patience with us during this time, and the new regulations we have at the course. We look forward to having you back again soon.

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!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Agawam Municipal Golf Course.
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!
Good place
It's a great place. Few minutes off the highway. Overall good experience!
We are so glad you had such a great experience! We hope to have you back soon!
Thanks for the 4 star rating!
Improved
I’ve been golfing at this course for the past 20 years since Tom took over it’s been great and showing improvement. And I will continue to be a member.
Great shape for a Muni.
Great shape and very friendly staff. Tom and his group do a fine job.
