Course Highlights
This hidden gem delivers a uniquely designed course with an unusual 6-6-6 layout of par-3s, 4s, and 5s in consistently excellent condition. Friendly staff and outstanding value make it one of central/western Massachusetts' most rewarding rounds.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71
Length 6521 yards
Slope 130
Rating 71.7

Cold Spring Country Club is situated halfway between Springfield and Worcester. Opened in 2010 in an effort to bring world class golf to western Massachusetts, the club has since garnered a local following. The par-71 layout is unique in that it has six par 3s and five par 5s. There are also some par 4s in the 450-yard range. The 6,521-yard length indicated on the scorecard can be deceiving since it feels much longer when you're playing it. The golf course has plenty of variety, including dogleg lefts, doglegs rights, short holes, and long holes. Thanks to its mountaintop locale, Cold Spring C.C. offers stunning views that are as diverse as the holes. The vistas from the elevated tees and greens stretch to the Berkshires, Connecticut, and Vermont. From the golf course's highest tee box on the par-3 10th, you'll have a panoramic view of central Massachusetts.

Great Course

Nice layout, plays really short from the white tees but you have 5 options for tee boxes. Greens were fast and in fantastic shape. Highly recommend playing here.

Don’t walk

I asked the stunad in the pro shop if it was a hard course to walk. He said, “no”. This was fake news. Otherwise, it was a fun track and in good condition considering it’s April In NE. Looking forward to playing again this summer with a cart.

Love the course and everything about it but pricing is just too high for my fixed income. You used to be very reasonable on golf now but even that rate has gone way up

Excellent condition and great signage

I just wish this course wasn't two and a half hours from my home. Went there because my golfing buddie and I got a good price on a round and we were up for a ride to a new (to us) course in a rural setting. We were not disappointed. We were even treated like VIPs. Just watch that 18th hole.

Cold Springs review

Played the course and it was a little hilly and you need a cart, some holes are far away for the tee. Staff was fantastic. 9 and 18 are a lot of fun......

Great value, conditions, and views

Cold Spring was in fabulous condition when I played. The fairways are tight, and there are a lot of up-, down-, and sidehill lies. The greens, which are smooth and fast ( but not ridiculously so) are at different elevations, So, while not super long ( from the red tees), calculating distances and placement of your shots on sloped fairways offer a challenge. The holes ( I only played the front nine) are well- designed and vary nuceky, since they are incorporated well into the landscape.

If you like to walk, you'd better be in good shape is not a good shape ( tgere were a few hearty, young souls walking the day I played), because of the distance between some greens and tees and because of elevation changes. But the trade off is terrific views and beautiful rides through the woods.

The staff was friendly, but I couldn't rate the bar/ restaurant because it was closed, perhaps because of staff shortages. At the height of the season, though, the patio should be a great place to hang out with friends, and celebrate your round--- or lick your wounds, as the case may be.

It's October but the condition of the course was perfect. Greens smooth and quick, traps raked meticulously, fairways nice. Even at their regular rate this is a must play course
