About this course
Chicopee Woods Golf Club sits in Gainesville, Georgia, in the foothills northeast of Atlanta. The facility operates as a public course owned by Hall County and features two eighteen-hole layouts designed by Denis Griffiths, who opened both courses in the mid-1990s. The Mill and School nines can be combined with a third nine (the Creek) to form different eighteen-hole configurations, with Mill/School representing one of the standard pairings. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Georgia Piedmont, with elevation changes and wooded corridors framing the holes. Griffiths routed the courses through mature hardwoods and pines, incorporating natural water features and creating strategic interest through varied hole lengths and green complexes. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to host regional amateur competitions. Chicopee Woods serves a broad public golf market in the Gainesville area, drawing both local players and visitors to the Lake Lanier region. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with standard amenities. The courses have hosted Georgia PGA section events and collegiate tournaments over the years, reflecting their role as accessible championship-caliber layouts in northeast Georgia's public golf landscape.

Getting there
The journey to Chicopee Woods Golf Club begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), roughly an hour's drive northeast into the rolling piedmont landscape of north-central Georgia. From Atlanta, the route transitions from interstate corridors into quieter state highways that wind through the gentle hills surrounding Gainesville, the seat of Hall County, with the final approach revealing the lush, manicured grounds and tree-lined fairways that define this private sanctuary. For those with access to regional aviation, Gainesville-Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (GVL) sits just minutes from the club, offering a more discreet arrival for members and their guests. The drive itself - whether from the capital city or the regional airfield - carries you away from urban sprawl and into the serene, wooded terrain where Chicopee Woods has long commanded respect among Georgia's most discerning golfers.
