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.

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!

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

We did not use any of the amenities. The course wa in very good condition with the exception of the greens. The greens were scuffed up and had many ball marks.

Worst Service in the Game

UPDATE: I’ve commented before about how this course sold my tee time to someone else and stuck me playing by myself being the group with the tee time AFTER mine. The course since reached out online through Golf Advisor and asked me to call them to try to resolve the issue. I called and the Pro was giving a lesson. The person I spoke with in the shop when I cashed the 2nd time only took a message after I pointed out that asking me to call numerous times hoping he would be there wasn’t great service. He never returned my call. I also emailed the course through their site and also got ZERO RESPONSE.

Hidden great course

This course is a little out of the way, but worth the drive. It is in great shape, lots of hills, not easy to walk. Challenges are plenty, it will test your shot ability.

Will play again, lots of fun.
