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.

A real gem

If you find yourself in western MA this is an excellent weekend play. We were the only walkers we saw on the course (hilly, some long green-to-tee trips), but the weather was perfect so we didn't mind. There was no water on the course nor any cart going around, which was a disappointment considering how hot it was. There were a few tee boxes that needed some more attention, but overall the conditions were perfect. You start on a par 3, which is weird, and there are some weird back-to-back hole combinations. The views are excellent

Very Nice Golf Course

Great layout, with very nice fairways, and some tricky greens.

Play a few times a week, and try to venture outside of long island NY. With 5 great courses at Bethpage, why leave...right. But, I like taking golf road trips and this enabled me to play at Cold Spring Country Club.

Friendly staff, nice clubhouse, but I came for golf...

Course did not disappoint and was challenging.

Awful experience, never again

So bought the “HOT “ deal at cold springs $37 plus fee .the bag is extra $17 for carts !

So with fee cost us $57 and change

Could have paid $50 at pro shop

Let me tell ya it’s not worth $50

Had a 5some in front of us , took 5 1/2 hrs to play . What a joke !

Yup you got our money this time but never again .

Don’t waste your money

Covid

The worst part about Covid, is that it didn’t kill even more people. Especially the people who don’t know how to let faster groups play through!

Beautiful Course

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. I played the black tees and some of the views were amazing. There’s a lot of elevation changes which made for a tough walk, let alone golf! Course conditions were great and didn’t have any issue with pace of play.
