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

At eight, a long, uphill par-5, you’ll find it’s preferable to avoid trees like this one in the left rough. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

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

Fourteen, a beauty of a drive-and-pitch hole that doglegs hard-right. This is its landing zone–over the stream. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/05/2022

Here a red fox crosses tee seven--and is about to take a very close look at my golf ball. Apparently deciding it was not an egg, (s)he trotted off. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/22/2021

8th, 518 yards. Excellent par-5 that puts a premium on the uphill drive. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

9th: One of the toughest short par-3’s you’ll find anywhere. Pars are elusive on this hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021
-
10th: An short but tough par-5 with big slopes everywhere. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

12th, par-4, 329: A challenge involving a tight driving area and a massive tree guarding the green’s right side. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021

17th. Short but straight uphill after the drive, this par-5 features an extremely tight landing zone for the approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/01/2021
-
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 sixth. This steeply uphill 321-yarder requires touch around its green, which can be three-putt in a fingersnap. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021
-
My favorite hole: the 11th. Wide-open and steeply downhill on the drive, but treacherous into the plateau green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/02/2021

Pleasant Surprise
Wide open course but enough trees to penalize you if you stray off the fairway.
Greens had subtle breaks that make up for the lack of slope.

They closed the course with no notification. Many players were waiting to get in and no one called or notified us. The gates were locked and no sign was posted

The course was a little soggy in places from a weekend of rain. But the Greens were as fast as I have ever seen them you couldn't stop the ball near a couple of pins no matter how hard you tried. The people here are tremendous. They should have a refreshment cart on the course. I don't understand why they don't.
