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.

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

Golfer Reviews
Always a great round for the value
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.
Love the greens
Nice course great condition the course rewards good play
Thank you LSA556HP, we're excited that you had such good time last week. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Don't forget to check out our great deals before winter hits!
Agawam C C
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.
Spectacular Fall day
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.
Overbooked
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.
A Hackers paradise!
Hook, or slice? No worries here, especially on the front 9. Save your $$, place is still garbage..
How Can You Beat the Deal?
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.
Course holding up in the heat
Played late on a Sunday but course still very crowded which made for a painfully slow pace of play. Course was holding up very well to high traffic and summer heat. Greens were in great shape and fairways very playable. Greens require some thought on approach as missing your targeted area means you are off the green. Have played here a few times and course is better each time
agawam
it was ok. no thrills golf. would play there only on a hot deal. no more than $20
Great course for the money
The course was very well groomed, and the price was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food in the club house was good. Overall i
Great course
Agawam is a great golf course as far as the conditions of the course go but pace f play was rather slow. Need a Marshall on the weekends
Great Value
Not a particularly difficult front nine but overall a well kept Muni that is close and fun to play. Since the Town took it over, the conditions have been greatly improved, but kept reasonably priced.
Great bang for the buck
I've played here many times over the years and the course is in the best shape it's been in that time. Only complaint is they overbooked the course and pace of play was a little slow.
Value for the Money
Played this course 3 times already this year, fairways and greens are well groomed. Great time on the course and is fit for any level of golf. Staff is very professional in every department.
Fast greens so don't be fooled by hole #2.
Good course for the money
Needs some water on the greens, brown out. I thought the course was in good shape for the winter we had and the time the maintainance crew had to work on the track.
Great Early Season Conditions
The Golf Pro, Tony is very friendly and accomodating. The course conditions for coming off of a brutal N.E. Winter were in very nice condition and soon as the warm weather hits the course will be in real nice condition. the course is moderately challenging and the track is nice especially the back 9. The fairways are in nice shape and the greens were running nice for this time of year. I highly recommend you play this course great bargain!!!
Agawam Municipal on the rebound...
I played this course on Wednesday afternoon. They were charging $15 per player on golf now! What a deal! The conditions were good, the carts are new with GPS on them, and most of the leaves have fallen and been sucked or raked up... There is no better value for golf in Western Massachusetts than at Agawam. Oh by the way, my golf buddy, and I teamed up with 2 complete strangers who were very fun, and supportive of my below average game! How do you beat that?
Thank you jahlberg for taking the time to review us! We appreciated your patience during a busy holiday weekend, and we're thrilled that you had a good experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
