Agawam Municipal Golf Course
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.

A work in progress
I was quite surprised at the improved condition of this old time area track! The course Pro Tony, is a great guy, with plenty of experience, and makes everyone feel welcomed.
Beautiful Morning!
Enjoyed 18 holes with my teenage son. Great local course! Enjoy!
Mrs Murphy's Donuts
Course is in decent condition. Nice new golf carts. Pace of play was slow, course was very busy in AM due to special offering 18 holes, cart, and coffee and donuts. No coupons or special deals needed, just $20 between 7A-8A.
Symbol for meal included on Golf Now misleading, I do not consider coffee and donut a meal.
Easy course good for beginners
I thought the course was fairly easy and good for beginners. There really aren't a lot of areas you can lose your ball. If you slice or pull a shot you are usually just in another fairway. The course does not take rain very well and there are spots of thick rough where it is pretty easy to lose your ball.
A day of golf at Agawam Municipal Golf Course
My youngest son and I played Agawam muni on a hot and humid day. There was an ample breeze though. We were able to tee off early before our scheduled tee time. The fairways were green, the greens were in great shape, although some greens were slow due to ongoing watering during the day.
It was in great shape, the City of Agawam has done a great job keeping this course in good shape. Although not long, the back nine is tighter than the front nine. It is a great course for beginners, juniors and seniors. We both enjoyed it and will be back.
great value
The dollar value for this round was unbeatable
decent course challenging greens. The staff and food were good and the course was is good shape.
I will play it again
Ok value, but could use some improvements
Course was in just ok shape, likely partially due to the amount of rain during the previous several days. A lot of holes are right on top of one another so you get a lot of criss crossing groups. Course needs a starter. Each time I've played, there is quite a bit of confusion at the first tee due to not having a starter organizing things.
There's some challenging holds there
Not a bad course for the money I would definitely play there again
Nice New England Rolling Green Hill Course
Nice course with very decent tee boxes really nice greens. Bunkers were in good shape. The front nine was a pretty standard back & forth holes next to each other in a very open layout. Everything changed on #9 Par 3 with a beautiful 2 club steep uphill shot situated by itself in a beautiful setting. The back nine was in the woods with most holes distinct from the next. Beautiful green lush green rolling hills with interesting shots to set-up the next shot. Played with a local who really helped with local knowledge. I enjoyed it very much.
Head for Agawam
Last minute my friend calls and wants to play locally. I go to GolfNow.com and find a great deal for Agawam Golf Course. We used to play there a lot but had somehow missed it for a couple of years. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they had just purchased brand new golf carts, and the course was in the best condition I have seen it in. We moved right along and finished in just 4 hours. We'll be back a few times this summer.
Great Time
I took my friends as family members out for golf on Memorial Day weekend and we had a blast at Agawam Municipal. I have played there before this spring and have enjoyed each of my rounds. For the price, it is often the course my friends and I have chosen to play at on the weekends.
Nice little country course.
Good course to occasionally play. New carts this year. Course tends to stay wet in numerous areas.
Good course once it drys out
The course was Extremely Wet otherwise it would have scored higher. The changes and modifications they are making show real improvement over what the course previously was. Defined fairways, better tees, rebuilt greens. They need to address the drainage problem they have. This course seems to always be wet.
terrible conditions
After paying for our round in the club house the starter asked us if we would like to add someone to our group that missed his tee time. We said we'd rather not if possible because we were discussing business. He got pretty passed and started acting like a jerk. Anyway that wasn't nearly as bad as the condition of the course. It was straight garbage. Co use was soaking wet. It was like walking on sponges in the fairway. Cart got stuck . Greens were ok. Dandelions everywhere. Would of left after 9 holes, but we skipped lunch to see if play picked up. It didn't. Got worse. No one let much faster groups play through. Starter can't space groups worth of a pound of cap in a bag. Waited over 15 minutes on a tee box because it was backed up 2 or 3 groups. I would hesitated to go back even if it was free.
Open front nine, tight and hilly back.
Even this time of year with all the leaves down, the was in excellent condition and our foursome had a great time.
course in good shape, including greens.
good shape, except that there were too many leaves. balls were being lost just off the fairway.
Well maintained, moderately challenging.
I have found Agawam Municipal always to be well maintained. The course is well laid out with a variety of different fairways and some pretty challenging holes.
For $11.00 it was fine.
The course was in good condition and it was a great way to spend an afternoon for $11.00!!!!
However, the carts need to be replaced! The seats were split with foam popping through. They also were in pretty bad shape mechanically. I wasn't sure our cart would make it and half the time the break didn't hold.
Play was pretty slow because on 2-3 occasions we had a single player in a cart hitting behind our group and we let them play through, rather than having them breath down our necks. Staff was nice and the facility clean.
Good course for the price
Overall, the greens were well maintained and the views are awesome. Definitely a course I will continue to golf at.
fairways need attention
play was fairly slow and there were no marshalls to increase speed.n The fairways were in need of serious attention. The only real positive was the golf now price
