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: 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

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

Rough Shape
The course was super dry in some areas and super wet in others. The tee boxes were beat and mostly dirt. The greens are like your playing mini golf. Good luck keeping your ball on the green. The pace of play was horrible. We waited on every hole and when we could just did some practice putting while waiting for the group to tee off. I will never play this course ever again!!

Crowded and backed up to the point of unplayable
Incompetent starter, coupled with tee times too close together, combined with too many older players made us bail on this course after four holes, which had taken over an hour and a half. 90 minutes into our round, there were up to five groups backed up on a single hole at one time. Somebody who knows how to handle this needed to take charge and the club house crew was useless.

Nice course but Tall grass!
First time played but the grass ground greens and fairways are tall, hard to find the ball.
Besides that, nice course.

Avoid
I was not notified the course was recently aerated when I booked. Wet, wet, wet! With no recent rain fall, I’m not sure why this course is so wet. Sopping wet areas around greens and fairways. Drainage Needs attentions! Fairways are forgiving but back and forth hole play is not ideal. Very minimal putting area with no range. Hard pass for me.
