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

Golfer Reviews
Great course
The course was in excellent shape the staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, the facility was spotless. I'll be playing there again.
Can score well here if you stay out of the rough
2nd time playing the course, 5 sets of tees make for an enjoyable change from the usual 3 sets you find. If you keep the ball in the fairway the opportunity is there to shoot well, the few times I ventured into the rough it cost me. Biggest concern was the condition of the greens, tons of unrepaired ballmarks, this is more on the players who don't fix their marks than the course staff.
Best round ever
My husband I had played as a twosome and he had his best round ever. Course conditions were excellent, my husband played from the blue tees, I played from the reds. Lots of elevated tees and dog-legs. Fairway bunkers come in to play on several holes Greens were consistent. Play moved at a good pace. They have recently added a driving range which is still being developed, but a definite plus. The clubhouse is new and well appointed with a good size pro shop and an upstairs restaurant and bar,. Staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely one of our favorite courses in the area.
Tough course but fun to play
I like this course and it is pretty difficult to play at times. The staff is extremely friendly and was a huge help. I played the course early in the spring and everything was in great condition other than the tee boxes. The grass seems to be dead on most the tee boxes. The second time I played it in the middle of the summer the tee boxes were still dead. A lot of the tee boxes are just sand/dirt. The only other thing was that I noticed is that on a few fairways there were sections with a lot of divots. Other than that I thought the course played great, the greens were excellent, and I really do enjoy playing this course.
Quirky Layout
The course was in great shape...manicured fairways and fast greens. Greens are small and tricky. Course has several quirky holes with several par 5's well under 450 yds. Also a closing par 4 of only 200+ yds. I get the feeling they ran out of real estate when designing the course. If you can overlook the quirkiness and enjoy the views and conditioning, you will have a great time, as we did.
Worth the 2 hour drive!
Great newer course. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were in excellent condition. Rough was "rough"! Traps are crushed white marble and were very predictable. Pro Shop staff and restaurant staff were great! Can't wait tho play here again.
Cold Spring CC
Fairly new course that is still in the process of developing. Very challenging playing from back tips, not recommended, unless your a skilled player. Several narrow fairways, easy to loose balls in hazards or woods. Yardage not always accurate, plays longer. Course not yet available on GolfBuddy. Do not use Golfnow direction to course, it will lead you to a wrong location, approx. 3 miles away from the course.
Only negative experience was that there was a shotgun golf outing scheduled that morning starting at 9AM. I had a 7:30 T time, neither the young man at the Pro Shop or the Starter informed about the outing. When I reached the 11th hole, there were 2 groups waiting to Tee off. Was forced to leave the course. I complained at the Pro Shop and was given a $10 voucher. They should have told me about the outing before I teed off, could have played elsewhere, ruined my Sunday morning.
The reason golf is losing millions of players a year
Course in good shape. Pro Shop staff helpful. Pace of play: DREADFUL!!! 5 HOURS AND 10 MINUTES TO PLAY 18 HOLES. The group in front of us took 6-9 minutes looking for lost balls, had no consideration for groups behind them. On at least five different occasions the group behind us and our group were waiting on the same tee for the group in front of us to clear the green.
Fun course to play
For the better golfer this is a fun place to play because of the risk reward and the opportunity to make birdies. There are good tee options for all abilities. If you are not on your game you will get penalized.
Quirky but fun
the course has some 'funky' holes, I like that those few are out of the norm....you can play the norm everywhere any day, this is a fun course because of the few quirky holes other than those it is quite 'normal' conditions are great! got a great deal on golfnow
cold springs in nice
The course is definitely above average and the greens were still very fast even with the coming back from aeration. It was in nice conditions and has a nice layout except for the last hole. Seems like they fit it in, 190 yards straight up hill. Green slopes due to being on the side of a hill. Last hole could have been better but rest of course is nice
Visually Beautiful... Somewhat odd layout.
I will definitely play this course again but will play from the whites instead of the blues as it plays longer than the card says.
A few 'blind' greens you must hit into and some very protective bunkers around them.
I love the crushed marble bunkers and had to wear sunglasses for a bunker shot because it's so bright in them.
Everyone should play this course at least once but not everyone will love it due to the dramatic elevation changes(both up and down).
Nice place to golf!
The course is in very nice shape. I played from the whites and my wife played from the red. Course has a nice mix of challenging par 3's and long fours.
I would recommend this course to anybody.
First Time PLaying
I got a "Hot Deal" to play this course. I was really excited in playing there since it was talked about from guys at work. I was not disappointed and loved playing there. I was just wondering about the
layout of the place. 191yr par 3 and the last 185yrd par 4. Guess because it is all uphill? Anyway loved playing there and hope to get another "Hot Deal"
great course
love playing this course,it makes you want to play good,but one would have to play more than once or twice.has a great view of the surounding area.
Good course, not great
First time playing the course and have to say it has its ups and downs.
Pros: Front 9 holes, Clubhouse, Staff, Views
Cons: Back 9, some beat up tee boxes, 5+ hour round
Overall a good first outing, great views, great 19th hole, and great front 9, starter was very informative, etc.
Back nine has some strange holes, cramped holes. Not sure why a couple of the par 5s on the back are par 5s, very short. Should be changed to par 4s but I am guessing they want the par 71. Par 4 18th is 200 yards from the blue straight up hill. Not a very good finishing hole.
Note: Very wooded course, plan to lose balls, and don't spend 10 minutes looking for them every hole. If you're not breaking 90 move up a tee box and speed things along.
Fun Course
Played course on Sunday morning at 11:15 and had a great time. Paid $40 each through golfnow and it was very much worth it and great price for how nice the course is.
Course has a nice layout with some pretty tough holes, but you can also score pretty well if you hit fairways and keep the ball in play. If you hit the ball long off the tee, you might not want to use your driver unless you are accurate with it. Can do with hitting woods or long irons off tees.
The only downfalls I would say would be the tee box conditions aren't great and some holes if you miss fairway left or right there is some poison ivy around but then again there are signs to point it out to golfers and where it is. Also not a lot of forgiveness on a lot of holes if you tend to spray the ball off the tee.
Otherwise the course is really nice with some of the nicest white bunkers I have ever seen. Staff and everyone is also very friendly. Would definitely want to play this course again.
Excellent Course!
Awesome course. really enjoyed playing. Will be back
