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.

Worth the money to play and very comparable if not exceed the ranch

Out of all the courses I've played in western Mass, Cold Springs is by far the top two courses I love playing. The course has many character holes like number 1 and 2 that may tell you how your found will be. It's not an easy course to walk on and say you will shoot an 84 on. You really have to manage it. I played from the black tee's all the time there and I love the view especially number 1 and 10. I would rate cold springs better than the ranch. There are only some little things like not having a starter or an attendant waiting at bag drop of that makes it not feel like a true country club. Other than that, it's pretty much a country club at public prices. I really hope they continue to improve the standard of the club and course to attract professional golfers at some point. I think it's that good of a course for sure.

Bent grass fairways always a good lie

When you play this course you must think about the shot in front of you it's not always a driver in hand on a par five many well placed shots will pay dividends. The greens are a little firm so approach shots also a thought process when seledting a club.

Overall a fun track that players from every level will enjoy!

Worth the Drive

You should never aspire to find yourself in sand traps, but I'm telling you these are the finest sand traps you will ever find - even on the PGA tour! Perfect white sands better than anything you'll find in Florida, but not the fine dusty type sand. If you've golfed some of the top courses anywhere, this is the type of sand you'll see here. Okay, enough about sand.

Greens are quick, undulating and fast - love it! Very well manicured fairways even though we've had a late spring as the trees still had no leaves. Got very windy but course is still playable with strong winds. Fair but extremely challenging. Very good layout. I will be back, again, and again!

Beautiful, Challenging & Fun

I have played this course 3 times this year and I have had a ball each time. I enjoy a course where the holes make you say "Oh, wow" when you get to the tee. The challenges vary from forced carries, to huge traps to extreme elevation changes and the views are often gorgeous, especially in the Fall. It might be a bit quirky for some players with 6 par three holes and 5 par 5 holes but I think that is part of its charm.
The course conditions are terrific, even in November and the greens and traps are among the best I have ever played. One note, the holes are sometimes pretty far apart and there are a lot of hills. This isn't a course for walkers unless you are young and in good shape.
I think this is a must play venue for every area golfer.

I haven't eaten there, so I can't really comment on the restaurant , but the views are great.

Fall Round at Cold Springs

I had never played Cold Springs CC. I was able to get a great deal on Golf Now. The pro and staff members were really friendly and got the experience off to a great start. The course was in great shape considering how many leaves had fallen over the past few days. The course was challenging. The greens were fast. I had an enjoyable time and look forward to going back to Cold Springs.

Airration Again

Love the course. Good conditions. Interior rough was fair---however, the exterior rough (on the tree lined areas), was a lost ball period. Don't even bother looking. Greens, tees were in great shape. .For a second time now ,the back side was closed due to airation. We played the front side twice When the hot deal price is right, we'll go again. The booking fees for a group are getting a little ridiculous.

It's OK, but ...

Six par 3's and five par 5's. 9th hole is a funky 200 yard par 4 straight up a hill. The entire course just seems tricked-up, like I was looking for a clown's nose or a windmill. Just not for me.

Beautiful views

This golf course is in excellent shape and the greens are in the best shape of all of the courses that I have played this year. The staff was friendly and courteous. I had lunch in the restaurant and they had a great selection of items on the lunch menu. The food was served quickly and their prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends.

Course review

I can't rave enough about how nice this course is, but more than that how beautiful the club house is and how nice all the staff I've had any interaction with have always been in the six or seven times I've been there. I will recommend this course to everyone.

Nice back nine

I got a very good deal on golf now the greens were in very good shape but grass in certain areas around greens and fairways was not good . Numerous blind shots and shots going both right to left and left to right Longer par threes overall a good course but may not suite every golfers taste the back nine was more open and picturesque and would bring you back

cold spring

the pro shop was not very helpful. Pair me up with two other plays and sent them out to the tee box without me,lol.
The fairways are very nice, lots of blind shots and dog legs. Great elevation changes.
The greens were stupid hard must like a links style course. Some green were fast and some very slow hard to judge.
My gps (neo ghost bushnell) was backwards there. Hole 1 was 18 and hole 2 was 17 and so on.
