Cold Spring Country Club

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"

Course was in excellent shape and the views are nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

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.

Awesome course. really enjoyed playing. Will be back

I had an awesome day, at an awesome course! Conditions, and weather were phenomenal. You know you're on a great course when you can count on 2 hands the number of pine needles you have seen on a green.

1st time to this course. Never knew that it existed. Great views and elevated tee boxes. Nice clean facility.

Cold spring is challenging and very well worth playing. It has an excellent restaurant and club house with great food and service. Also it has white sand bunkers not dirt like most of the less expensive courses. I have played here 5 times and will be back again.

Course in nice shape the day we played it drizzled but the greens were still fast. This course is not made to walk . Long distance between each hole .

For so early in the season quite possibly one of the courses that are in the best shape out in western mass

1st trip to Cold Springs and we will be back. My son and I played on a Sunday morning. We booked at Golfnow Saturday afternoon and paid $50 with cart. We live about 25 minutes away and the ride was nice. Driving up to the course and you can tell they are one of the better courses in Western Ma.

We were met in the empty parking lot by an starter who greeted us nicely. He took our bags and got us setup on a cart. Once we putted a few I inquired about jumping ahead of a few groups as we were only a twosome. The starter put us out as the second group behinds a threesome of members around 9:00 a.m.. The members flew as did we and finished without having to wait once past the first tee.

Course was in spring form but still pretty lush. Once it greens up it will be very nice. Greens rolled very good for it being so early in the year. They were slow but that's expected. Some challenging holes and some easier par fives. Par three's were very nice (longer).

Overall the course is one to play. Really lay's out nicely beyond the gimmicky 18th hole that we played as number 9. You can tell the owners put allot of money into the property. Try it out when you get a chance.

I am a beginner and had a great time playing 9 holes at this course. Course condition is very good, staff is very friendly, and I absolutely would come here again.

With a bunch of par 5's and 3's (11 in total I believe), you'll be playing every club in your bag. Lots of fun holes that aren't extremely difficult, but aren't a cake-walk either. Course was in excellent shape for November, especially considering how cold it was for the few days before we played; only minor gripe would be some of the tee boxes, but that was likely due to it being the end of the season. Every employee we talked to was incredibly nice, which is always a tough find at a golf course. Also had a few planes in the sky from the nearby military base, which was pretty awesome.

Drove 2 hours to play here and can't wait to do it again! Hope to get back out there again before the end of the season, and will be frequenting here in 2014.

Excellent time. Great coarse, great restaurant and excellent staff. Going again next week.

Terrific place to play, but the long dark haired woman who was our first contact in the pro shop really turned us off. This woman should not be in a customer service position. Her attitude was very poor and condescending. Everyone else was terrific and so was the course!

Cold Spring is not an easy course. It has quite a few tough holes. So if you are not having a good day it will be a struggle. That said, it is a lot of fun to play.

Conditions were generally good. Greens were excellent, and fast. Bunkers are beautiful. Tees a bit scruffy. Fairways mostly OK. Quite a few leaves down this time of year, so a couple of times I had to search a while for my ball.

Given the difficulty, it might be a slow round if the course is crowded. But I was the first one off on a Sunday morning and got around in 3:15.

Cold Spring is a very unique course which has some funky holes but overall it is very enjoyable.

The few criticisms I had were the 18th hole as it is a 200 yard par 4 straight up a mountain. You can very easily hit your approach shot in front of the green only to see it roll right back down the hill to your feet. Hole 12 is an 80 yard par 3 over water that is frustrating because it is so short. Would love to see them, if possible, bring the tee boxes back 30+ yards. Other than those two holes the only other criticism are the tee boxes. Which were pretty beat up.

However there are far more positives then negatives. The greens were in fantastic shape. Rolled pretty true and the speed was consistent hole by hole. The fairways were in pretty good shape with all the weather issues we have experienced this year. Their sand traps are also some of the best I've ever played out of. Although I find it best to never play out of the sand but it is inevitable.

Overall I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.

Cold Springs loves to talk about it's crushed marble bunkers and once you are fortunate enough to find yourself in one you know why. The appearance and play-ability of them is just amazing. If you find yourself with an extra minute drop a ball in the bunker and have a go.

Overall the course is, apparently, still a slight work in progress, but the overall quality is tremendous. The elevation changes for 10 and 18 are astounding - and the view from the 10th tee box is nearly unparalleled in any course I've played. The 200ish yard par 4 18 must have 150 feet of uphill climb to reach the green and is quite a fun challenge. Missing short on 9 can only be described as punishing.

A very enjoyable round of golf and had I not been a visitor to the area this would be a regular course for me.

This course is absolutely beautiful. Scenic New England views on every hole, crushed white granite bunkers, pristine fairways and greens,super friendly staff and paved cart paths. Awesome, scale of 1 to 10, 11. A must play!!!
