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.

Walked

Not for Walkers

The course layout and terrain are in themselves interesting and challenging, but this is a course very much designed for golf carts -- distance from green to the next tee is often as long or longer than the hole just played. Walking is the heart of the game, and design like this undermines it. That said, the fairways and greens were in surprisingly good condition for late March in New England.

Rainy Vacation Day

Guess I took vacation the wrong week. Decided to play some new courses and started the day rainy.

Nice course with two very different 9s. Front nine is very open with nothing that interesting.

Back 9 was very nice with holes cut out of trees and some lengthy par 4s.

Club house is perched on a hill so 1-9-10-18 are pretty hilly. Down hill leaving the club house and steep uphill returning.

Great value and very good greens.

Best hidden gem in western mass

Cold Spring Country Club has turned into my favorite round of golf in Western Mass. The course has character that very few courses have even for three times the amount of money. There's trees, elevation and even some water all for under what most courses cost! Greens and fairways are in above average condition. My only fear about leaving this review is i will have competition for tee times!

Fun course

Fun course to play, has an odd set up you can say but it works well. Eat time playing and the course was in great shape and some of the best greens all year. Can’t wait to play it again.

Great Fairways!

Wow! My wife and I had a great afternoon. She drives my cart so that we can be together. First time playing Cold Spring Country Club, what a blast. The golf course has beautiful views, great elevation, great difficult greens. It was the most challenging golf course I have played this year. I will definitely be back next year. Due to Covid-19 all golf courses have changed, what a bummer. I could of taken a picture of every hole, it was beautiful.

I recommend this course to low handicap golfers.

Great course with great views

Got an early tee time and avoided the crowds. Was able to finish in 3 hours.

Great views right from the beginning. Hole 1 is a downhill par 3 with great scenic view of the valley. From there, it is a challenging course, with some easier holes to help you out. You'll love hole 4... a short par 5 which gives you a great shot at a birdie, or even an eagle.

The course is in great condition. The greens are fast. Be ready.
