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.

9’ holes open

Only 9 holes open so they did a poor job of scheduling tee times as the round took hours. The golf pro was less than friendly. The starter was great as always. Paid for 18 only played 9

Disappointing.

Losing the Course

Sad to see over the years the decline in this course. Started from a excellent venue to a course in fair conditions. Tee boxes are burnt out and it was not the best conditions. Disappointed to say the least. At least the food in the clubhouse is always great!

Always an Enjoyable Time

Can't beat four hour round on Sunday morning at a good Hot Deal rate. Course was in very good condition except for sand traps, which looked washed out due to heavy rains the day before. It's a bit out of the way but worth the visit for a great golf experience.

Good experience with Hot Deal.

Course was in average condition. Tee boxes need to be leveled, fairways were spotty and greens consistent but need some work. Would not pay more than the "Hot Deal" to play here.

Scenic course , improved conditions

I played this course with the Safari Club this week. The conditions were much improved over last year. There are still many fairways that haven’t recovered fully from whatever disease that took over, but overall, getting back to what they have been in the past

Greens were in nice condition, and most of the tee boxes were in good shape.

Although shorter then many courses around this area, there’s still plenty of trouble to find.

Not what I expected.

The good: beautiful location, good t-box selections for all abilities., and greens rolled well. The bad: checked online for t-times, it said wide open. Got there and much to my surprise that info was wrong! Got sent out right away alone (no big deal - got lost after #2, went wrong way - no signs). Got to hole #4 and I got overrun by golfers who are starting in a shotgun start. Got pushed to hole #8 by a grizzly old-timer and somehow I was suppose to smile and say "sorry" like I cut infront of them or something. Fairways are terrible, so many empty spots. And I will give them a pass on all the mud because it has been very wet this springtime, but drainage in some areas seems inappropriate (top of hills)! I never got to play the 4 holes I missed nor will I go back to try them. But I played golf for the morning - 40 on back nine-, not sit in my offce; and that is a win!.

Hidden Gem

This course is off the beaten track, but is a can't miss. I was a member for a year in 2015, and played there primarily for all of 2014 as well. It is a beautiful, well laid out, well managed course that is a pleasure to play whether you are a first timer or have golfed your entire life. It is priced perfectly and you get more than you pay for compared to other courses I have played in the surrounding area. Anyone who claims it's too expensive needs to get out more.
