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.

Best gold day of the year!!!

Due to a rotator cuff surgery in December of 2016, I have not played much, but my golf partner and I decided to give Cold Springs a try. Great decision!

Beautiful fall day, teeing off at noon. I played this course once a couple of years ago, so I gave layout info to my buddy who was playing for the first time. He kept remarking how pretty the course was and the unique layout. Not a long track at 5430 yards (white tees), but it still gives you a good challenge. We are 16-18 handicappers, so some of the longer par 4's were difficult getting to the green in regulation. If you accept your limits as a golfer and enjoy the course, as it winds through the hills in Belchertown, you can't help but it enjoy this course. When you are standing on some of the elevated parts of the course, the visits are unique for a Western Mass course. I am sure it is very picturesque, when the fall colors are in full bloom. The visuals aside, the course is in nice shape and it reminds me a bit of The Ledges, in South Hadley. (well kept greens / fairways) Some fairways are wide and foregiving, like Ledges, however there is more woods when you stray too far from the fairways. Additionally, the bar and restaurant areas are upscale, with attentive servers. Enjoy a fall golf day at Cold Springs.....you WILL ENJOY!!!

Enjoyable!

Very enjoyable layout, fun to be on this golf course. Greens roll very nicely and the course is really mature for a 7 year old. Great job!

I'll be back.

Beautiful bent Grass

The bent grass fairways and greens are great never a bad lie.

Every hole is very different and depending on the TEE select this track will give you all you want .The greens are fast but true due to their great condition ,best to be below the hole.

The pro and his satff are always very friendly and helpful as a standard pratice they come out to your vehicle and pick up your clubs!!

Blah, I guess

Greens are nice. Bunkers are exceptional. Fairways are average. Rough is horrible. Tee boxes are the worst in Western mass. They used to take care of this place better. There are a lot of great holes on this course but there are a few weird ones that I never liked.

This year's rain, expected better conditions

I have played this course multiple times over the years. The fairways are average, I expected them to be in nicer condition especially after all the rain we have had this past spring and summer. The pace of play was slow, sometimes having to wait 5-10 minutes between shots. The greens are nice and rolling true. The bunkers are very nice crushed marble.

Awesome views.... awesome course

Definitely head over to Belchertown for this gem of a course. Plenty of elevation changes make for very exciting tee shots. There is a nice variety of tight shots as well as wide open "bomb away" holes. The par 3 holes can be very challenging from the back tees. Long and well protected. The bunkers have a really nice white sand in them. Very easy to play out of... which is good because they are deep and strategically located to collect your approach shots that don't carry the elevations of the greens. Loved it.

Nice greens

I played this course the day after some heavy rain hit the area. I was anticipating very soggy conditions and slow greens. I was shocked at how well this course rebounded from this, and how fast the greens were. Very pretty course, challenging layout, and nice view on the patio after your round.
