Cold Spring Country Club
About
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.

Although modern, the course maintains a natural feel. Secluded, too, on some holes, such as the sixteenth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/05/2022

the course is a nice layout but the Tee Box is and Fairways were horrible therewas more crabgrass in the fairways than any other kind of grass. Some of the tee boxes we're actually just dirt. Very dissatisfied. they need to get a Greenskeeper that knows what he's doing cuz this place should be closed
Not worth the drive
It's a one hour drive for us. I like the layout, but my playing partners did not. The fairways on the back 9 were bad - all crab grass and no grass. The greens are in pretty good shape. They roll well. But there were a lot of ball marks.
A beautiful golf course...that needs to close for a while for some grounds repair. The clubhouse, views, amenities were wonderful. Awesome staff who come right to your car and grab your clubs for you. A full service restaurant and a beverage cart that we ran into at least 3 times (which is perfect) BUT....the course was in rough shape. The tee boxes were dirt and crabgrass and the fairways weren’t much better, a mix of turf and huge pieces of crabgrass. Greens were okay, a little bumpy. Bunkers on the other hand, ironically, were some of the best I’ve ever played. Nice white sand and seemed to be raked daily.
All in all, for $37, it wasn’t the worst, but, in all honesty, with the layout and amenities, it could be a top course in the area if they could improve the conditions.
Great Deal, Course needs some TLC
Cold Springs C.C. is a challenging lay out with 5 Par 5's & 6 Par 3's( some 190+ yds.). Extremely elevated tees & greens. A staff that is very friendly and helpful. The food is very good and the views of the surrounding countryside are great. the bunkers are in great shape , they use true bunker sand( white & no stones) But, the course itself needs TLC, crabgrass on the some of the tee boxes and alot in the fairways. the greens putt true but are in below average condition. I would go back simply because it was a fun course to play and I would like to improve my score of 95 ( Bad Drives & missed puts)
Wonderful course and staff
Always a good time at Cold Spring. The course wasn’t crowded, and I’d have given a better score for pace of play, but the one slow foursome on the course was right in front of us. They have a very cordial, welcoming crew, from cart boys to bar and wait staff. $40 for greens fees and cart - a bargain.
Tricky course with much challenge. Great that the Safari Club picked this course!
Simply love this layout
I have played this course 4 times in the last four years with the Safari Club, western Mass's premier travel golf club. Always love it and want to return again each time. Shorter in length than some, the varying elevations more than make up for the shortness. When you are on the course, you rarely see another hole. Conditions were excellent. Has 6 par threes so you have a chance for a lower score. Not a walking course. Well worth the drive to play.
Unique layout
I had a tee time of 11:30 and it was "clear sailing" around the course, with a cart. I saw very little players on the course, so I was not being pushed to move along on each hole. The greens were in good shape with a moderate roll spead. The fairways were a bit banged up and dry, due in large part to the heat and lack of rain. I enjoy playing at Cold Springs because it is a track that has elevation changes with sweeping views of Belchertown and Palmer. Just enough dog legs to show you variety in the holes. The parr three and four holes are not terribly challenging, from the Senior Tee boxes, but enjoyable with sand traps that have white, fine sand that is fun to hit out of. (Unlike the rubble in muni courses)
The club house and restaurant is perched up on a hill, overlooking part of the course. That is unique and visually a plus, for your golfing experience. The staff and bar tender were all friendly and professional. If you haven't played Cold Springs CC, you should give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Ccourse was fairly setup
I enjoyed the round it plays at a 3hr 45 mins , good bunkers , par 3's moderate ,layout a ball placement course.
Going down hill
They are letting the course deteriorate, Tee boxes were a mess, clover in the fairways , everything was dry, and a lot of moths were flying around.
Beautiful views and fun course
Played a tournament on 6/22. Course was in great shape. Attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely play again.
It has 5 par 3's and a par4 thats 185yards up hill 60 ft. in elevation .
A thinking persons course. Not a walking course. Always a challenge I'll play it again.
Decent price, less than decent conditions
The staff at the bag drop, clubhouse and 19th hole were all fantastic. The greens were in good shape and rolled well. The bunkers were excellent. The first tee box had almost no grass, almost bare. The rough was full of clover and wild flowers. The fairways were like closely mown rough. . Overall conditions were decent. Lots of poison ivy to look out for on the edges of play.
Very Nice Course
Played here last week with the Safari Club. Course was in very good condition. although, some of he tee boxes were a little rough, because there are no sprinklers on them. Staff was well organized and friendly. Enjoyable day!
Safari Club Adventure...
Cold Springs Country Club is unique in that it has 6 par 3’s... Not that they are easy but because they are so varied and different... this course is short by most standards but plays long on the par 5’s ... the greens are fast and are undulating..
The course had someone greet us and get our clubs to the appropriate cart.. this is a nice feature and the staff was very friendly...
The Safari Club enjoyed the day... it is a pretty good value for your dollar!
Safari Club Outing
Safari Club outing. Course was in pretty good shape. The greens were fast. The carts were ready for us . The staff was very friendly.
Great day once again at Cold Springs
Not one negative thing to say about Cold Springs, The minute I arrived I felt welcomed, a cart pulled up to me to grab my bag and bring it to my assigned cart, love that! No lines when checking in 2 men at the counter, great service!! The course was in great shape, layout is not boring and the views there are beautiful from several holes. We had a blast! Looking forward to next year.
