Cold Spring Country Club
About
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.

The scenery is spectacularly panoramic at several of the Cold Spring tees and greens. This is the first hole, a par-three. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/05/2022

A terrific par-5 of 490, the second demands good shotmaking to find this green safely. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/05/2022

A long par-5, eleven features strong ground movement from tee to green. A beautiful and challenging hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/05/2022

Although modern, the course maintains a natural feel. Secluded, too, on some holes, such as the sixteenth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/05/2022

Fun with my son.
The course was in excellent shape. Greens were hard to play because of all the rain before we played. They hadn’t cut the greens. In normal conditions the greens are excellent.
Played here twice this year and enjoyed both. This course is 2 hours away but I don’t mind the drive to have fun with my son.
No staff, no carts, no food service, decent track!
Liked the golf course but the staff and service were atrocious. Don’t open if you cannot afford staff.
Much improved
Course conditioning has improved over past years, due to a rainy summer and repair of the irrigation system. As usual, the staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. We got behind a slow group however and didn't observe a ranger trying to move things along although there was a hole open ahead of the slow foursome. In general, we had a fun golfing experience and will certainly come back and play the course again.
Awful pace and rude staff
Person in golf shop checking us in was rude, and he was rude several other times on course. No marshal or any attempt at maintaining pace of play by the club. With packed course, let out a group of five who were clearly locals or friends with the staff. They wouldn't allow groups to play through and when mentioned to the pro, he only said "too bad." Course didn't serve alcohol but didn't mention this on their website. Layout and conditions are very nice, but staff and atmosphere are some of the worst I've experienced in the area.

A nice, challenging golf course.
It’s an enjoyable and challenging golf course. The elevation changes will will keep you on your toes from 1 through 18. It’s a well maintained course in every aspect and you certainly get your money’s worth.
Cold spring weekend
Great for first time for us.
We did not know restaurant and bar was closed and course would allow outside beverages on the course.
Very nice course and facilities.
Nice course
I’ll get the complaints out of the way first because I really liked the course overall. We showed up about 1/2 hour early and we’re immediately rushed out by a staff member to get ahead of a senior league without even setting foot in the pro shop or even getting the chance to take a score card. While I appreciated getting out before a large group, it is always unnerving to be rushed out onto the course and literally told to “hurry up”. We also had the grounds crew ahead of us on several holes and while this happens on many courses, here they totally ignored us and made us wait to tee off or on our approach shots. There was even a time where they left a maintenance cart right next to the green we were hitting our approach shots onto, blocking a portion of our shots. Lastly and more annoying than an actual issue, since we didn’t have score cards we relied on the sign at each tee box to see what the hole looked like. A lot of them were facing the wrong way so we had to walk up, read the sign and then go back to the cart to select the club.
Other than these issues it was great. Things were in good condition, and overall we had fun. This is a long course. Great for people who like to hit the ball far. I’d recommend it and hopefully we just had an off day with the staff issues.
cost
I was extremely upset at the price we were charged! Consequently will most likely never go back! The two of us had a 9hole rain check that we paid full price for. We were charged a "special" nine hole rate rather than half of the 18 hole rate. So instead of paying half of the $47.50 senior rate each ($47.50) the person charged us the special" nine hole rate of $30 totally $60... In essence the rain check was reduced in value from $47.50 to $35. Its not the money difference that upsets me but the principal of the entire situation. Are things that bad that you have to take advantage of your golfers. In addition the greens were just aerated and we were never told when booking our tee time! We love this course and play many times a year, not any more!
Your staff obviously needs to be trained better in customer service?
Hello, thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Cold Spring Country Club.
Course was decent
First time playing the course. The layout was pretty nice, the greens were pretty good, but some of the other things made the experience so-so. Had a problem with my cart on the front nine and changed it on the back nine. That golf cart died six holes later. The restaurant was closed and there was no beer. Not going back anytime soon
