Agawam Municipal Golf Course

Course is in very good condition even with the lack of rain.

I've been to this course a number of times and, up until now, always enjoyed my experience. The course, as usual, was in good shape and the layout is great for the average hacker. But, unfortunately on this visit, the front 9 and practice green were taken over by a wave of youth camp golfers. They were loud and didn't appear to be schooled in the etiquettes of the game. They slowed the pace of play drastically and made the start of this round less than enjoyable.

While playing the 7th, I was approached by, what I assumed was, a camp counselor. He apologized for the pace and assured me that the youth players were done after the 9th. This was music to my ears and I was looking forward to playing the back 9 without interruption. But as I drove to the 10th tee box, I found two youth golfers teeing off. I'm all for getting the youth involved in the game (wish I had gotten an earlier start) but they didn't seem to care that they were slowing the groups behind them. After playing the 10th, I did approach and ask them if they knew what pace of play meant. It should be noted that one of them was taking a phone call as I drove up. They said they weren't aware and allowed us to play through. We then played at a good pace until the 16th when we encountered another group of older youth golfers. They were loud and inconsiderate while we were addressing our shots.

I was told by staff that the camp was on Wednesday's so you may want to call ahead if this sort of thing would effect your game.

Played the course about an hour ago. Course was nothing special. Ended up leaving my car key in a cart. Called back to report it and the guy who answered was extremely rude. Started off "how would I ever even know which one" so I said its 39. He responded while league play started there's no way we can find it. To which I tried to respond I actually just left after most of league play had arrived and parked by the shed. He then hung up. This is my car key. I just paid to play his course and he hung up on me. So rude. I wouldn't go back. Terrible customer service.

Short of it is I lost my car key at the course. Called back just after leaving and the staff was unfriendly and then actually hung up on me rather than helping.

I love everything about this course. It has plenty of challenges for players of every level. Course is beautifully maintained. You'll definitely hit every club in the bag and get a great test for your precision. Roll is true on every green and great elevation changes. Feels like it plays a bit longer than the card, maybe that was just me. Rough is forgiving on most holes, and great forced carry on some of the back 9. One of my favorites in MA, central or west.

Very enjoyable day out on the course. Sloping greens that can wreak havoc on your scores. Friendly staff and state of the art carts w android touch screens making judging distances a breeze. All in all, a great course for the money.

Short course, well manicured. Edges of greens fall off adding difficulty. Will definately be back!

Good solid municipal course, tricky greens but overall the course was in good shape. A slow twosome in front of of us but they picked up the pace after two. seemed to play longer than the yardage.

Front nine is very easy compared to the back nine. There are a few holes on the back where groups from 3 different holes may have all hit their shots to one fairway. Have to be careful. Greens ran a bit slow and very uneven, and the tee boxes especially on the par 3's were horrible. Wish they would plant some grass. Overall interesting layout. Worth playing with a great deal. Nice little clubhouse too with food and beers.

Course in good shape. Fast play that day, no problems.

Things started and ended bad. We had an advance tee time but upon arrival none was recorded. With 2 foursomes waiting to tee off we were shifted to the back nine. Tee boxes were cluttered with broken tees, fairways were bare in spots, the rough needed cutting and broken tree limbs everywhere. Greens were very slow and also needed a good trim. Lots of overdue maintenance noticeable. Wide open, flat front nine. Back-an-forth, side-by-side fairways are kind of boring and hazardous from hooks/slices. Only seven sand traps on front nine, four on the first hole. First hole is intimidating for slicers (4 traps) and cars coming up road. Par 3 ninth hole a real challenge…up a steep hill. Club selection was critical to reach green plateau. Back nine more challenging and typical: mature, tree lined fairways, doglegs, up/downhill holes, only 2 small sand traps. The only water on the course is a small drainage ditch on the back nine where it must be carried off the tee on two holes. The dogleg right 17th is a real challenge, especially if you’ve never played the hole. Pro shop only carried the basics: balls, gloves and tees. One employee in pro shop doubled as cook and bartender. Small snack shop had a minimal selection of beer and didn’t have a hamburger at 2pm. Course gets lots of play from locals and was open most of this past winter. It’s a very busy course possibly because it’s so cheap to play but I won’t be back. There are better maintained, nicer facilities with full food/beverage/pro shops at comparably priced public courses nearby to choose from. I’ll go there instead.

Fun coarse, very well maintained, can always get a tee time

played here several times over the years very good course to play for the value.Nice challenge from all tees and all levels of players. PLUS WE PLAYED DECEMBER 13TH 2015 who would of thought the course was very busy but play moved right along...
Will be playing this course at least 5 times in 2016..

Was a little busy when we arrived. Staff was great putting us out on the back and accommodating our group. Very courteous staff and course is always fun.

Nice course great condition the course rewards good play

As usual the course was in good condition. Staff is always friendly and willing to accommodate the players. Have been to this course a few times this season with very good results. I have to admit this time it was not what I expected. Both golf now and the course need to let each other know about any special events. Reasoning is that our group got a Hot Deal of the day from Golf Now, only to find out that when we arrived there was a scramble best ball tourney in progress. we where tucked in between groups that where playing in the tourney. This made for some very very slow play to say the least. The players that we spoke with from the scramble where not happy about it either.

AMGC is a near-by course that my son I have frequented since he was about 10 y.o. (he's now 20).
It's a very good course for us as we're mid-handicapper's and inconsistent strikers. They have upgraded the facilities , carts and course conditions over the past few years so it is a quality municipal course. Well be continuing to use AMGC.

Chaos with no starter. Had three groups on the first whole in under 15m. The pace is all over the map as you have many levels of players golfing for a value at 23 bucks. Expect to either be pushed or slowed depending on your skill level. I'll opt to pay more elsewhere next time and enjoy a more calming and quiet time out.

Hook, or slice? No worries here, especially on the front 9. Save your $$, place is still garbage..

Played Agawam GC with my son and nephew. We decided to play on short notice. Golf and cart for $23 ... how can you beat it on a Sunday afternoon?!? The course was in good shape. Green, for the most part. Tees and greens in nice shape. The greens at Agawam are tricky ... most of them have slopes and the ball was rolling! There were a bunch of people playing so the pace of play was a bit slower. I would golf at Agawam again.
