Cold Spring Country Club

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.

day was perfect. Joined up with two other golfers and had an excellent day. Course was in very good condition and the layout is challenging.

Great course in great shape. Can't beat $47 for 18 with a cart! Greens are firm and fast, sand is dry and playable, fairways in great shape. This course will make you play every club in the bag.

Great upstairs patio overlooking the course with a great burger. Only downside is that they don't currently have a liquor license for some reason, so no post round beer with my burger

Despite a draught and a storm, this course was in wonderful condition. Great staff, great course! Really glad we played here and will be back

Another above average golf course I’ve found through Golf Now - awesome course and worth the drive!

My wife and I reside on Long Island, but we are in central Mass. for the summer. Yesterday was our third visit to Cold Spring GC, all three coming during the Covid-19 drama.

We have enjoyed playing the course. As has been noted in nearly every review, the views are stunning, especially from the first and tenth tees. For a public play facility, the course condition was very good (based on my experience at other courses in the central/western Mass. area this summer, it has been a very good season for golf courses). I usually play at a private course on Long Island, so am am used to very fast greens (10-12 on the stimp meter). The greens here are slower, but in reasonably good shape. I am in my late 60's, play to a mid-teens handicap, and played from the Blue tees.

The layout is interesting. I'm not sure I've ever played a course with 6 par 3's and 5 par 5's. With the exception of the 3rd hole, the par 3's were quite good. The short 3rd (105 yards from the Blues) could be stretched out if there is room back into the woods.

The par 5's present a nice mix...three pretty easy ones (#'s 4, 7, and 16), one medium one (# 11), and one tough one (#2). With the exception of #9, the rest of the seven par fours are very good. If I'd played #9 from the Black tee I might have enjoyed it more, but from the Blues, it seems mundane. No matter where you drive it, your next shot is no more than a short pitch or chip to a not-very-interesting green (especially for such a short hole).

My only criticism of the course presentation would be that the tee boxes were on the shabby side.

All three times I played the course I rode a cart, and I would continue to do so...the distances from some of the greens to the next tee box are just too great. That having been said, all of those longer distances were very pleasant meanderings through the woods, which afforded us a welcome respite from the blazing sun we had each time we played. Many of the holes are bordered on both sides by woods, and there is not a lot of rough between the fairway and the trees, which, generally speaking, have not been thinned out. On some of those holes, you may find your ball but you will be unlikely to be able to play it...on others, there's no reason to even look. The undergrowth is just too dense.

The pro shop staff were welcoming and friendly...my only complaint stems from our second visit when we had an early afternoon tee time. We were not apprised of a women's shotgun outing which meant that we were supposed to be through #17 before 5 pm. We got stuck behind a slow foursome who inexplicably never let us play through and were surprised when we reached the 16th tee and were greeted by a phalanx of ladies getting ready to tee off.

Sadly, the restaurant and bar were not open the first two times we played, and only the restaurant was open yesterday, which we decided to pass on. From the looks of the place, the views must be glorious, but i cannot comment on the quality of the food or service.

All in all I would certainly recommend the course to a friend. I would imagine that on a nice, crisp late September/early October day, the views would take your breath away, thereby further enhancing what is already a pleasant golfing experience.

Really enjoyed my time at cold springs. There wasn’t any food and very limited beverage and snack selection. However it was beautiful and I will most definitely be playing there again

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

Nice course. 2 or 3 poorly designed holes. some very challenging holes. greens were fast.

Great little course played front 9 short holes clean 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.

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

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!
