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.

Eight, an uphill par-5, stretches 518 yards. Its fairway tightens (and bounces right) in the landing zone for second shots. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/10/2026

All that is required to hit the ninth green is an outstanding tee shot. Par-3, 140 yards. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/10/2026

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

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

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 greens were recently aerated . This is not surprising but not mentioning it was the reason for an average rating on the conditions. Putting was made even trickier by the aerations. This is a very plain clubhouse amneities will not keep you there, trust me .

Great value
Agawam Municipal Golf Course is my primary course because of its proximity to my home. It's also the best golf bargain around. Although there are no water hazards on the course, it's a challenging layout that requires shot placement. The course location is absolutely perfect. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Hartford and downtown Springfield. On the back nine, you are surrounded by beautiful woods. Overall, it is a great place to play golf and enjoy nature!

course well cared for
I've played this course over the past 20 years and it has never been in as good a shape as it is now. Fairways are lush and cropped perfectly, greens are in tip top shape and fun to play. Rough is as it should be, not so deep you can't find your ball, but tough to play out of well. I enjoyed having the GPS device on the cart.

Played the back 9 with 3 friends, showed up at 6:30AM without a tee time and they got us right out :) carts were beautiful, course was nice, yardage stakes at every 150 yards and badge markers in the fairways every 50 yards. Granite hole diagrams at every tee box, very nice.
