Cold Spring Country Club

I understand that this course has only been open for two years and still requires some filling in, but there's no excuse for dirt tee boxes, Poison ivy in the crab grass rough and an overall feeling of not being at a " championship course. " Granted they were plugging the greens on the front 9, so I had to play the back mine twice. But according too the member I played with the old superintendent got fired for not properly taking care of the course... Go figure. Hopfully the new one can change things around, because this course has truly great potential.

The course is one of the loveliest in Western Mass with unusual holes and great conditions in the fairway and on the greens. The holes are unique and challenging. The tees are in need of recovery from some type of damage, as there is little grass and they are brown. It doesn't affect the play off the tee very much however except in the barest of spots. The facilities are top rate and the staff is very pleasant and accomodating. We will definitly return.

The course looks great as you drive up- the 1st t box dispels that image- a lot of other t boxes also in rough shape. The greens are very nice and put true- the fairways are also in pretty good shape. The sand traps are very nice.

sand traps were very good but they seem to be losing their greens.

I gave this course an "average" on value for the money with an overall rating of good.

First, the good stuff - absolutely gorgeous scenery in the wooded hills of western MA. The course layout is fun, with some holes I absolutely love and some I could do without. Some holes are very narrow, so there is a challenge off the tee. Some holes are pretty open, so you can let it fly. The condition of the greens was good - fast and true. The fairways and tee boxes were a little torn up, which I assume is the result of a lot of play this summer. Overall, well worth it to play this course, especially if you can get a reduced rate during the week. Nice clubhouse and restaurant. Good food, although the drinks are over priced. $6.50 for a draft beer? Really?

The bad stuff - They let a lot of twosomes and singles go out, and we played as a twosome. As we were making the turn at 12:30 PM, they let a threesome tee off on the back nine right in front of us. The clowns didn't let us play thru and one was on his cell phone most of the time, so play was backed up and slow. When we came in after the round, the "attendant" was on his cell phone and pretty much ignored us. Upon check in, a different set of attendants were polite and respectful.

Its a beautiful course , its laid out well fairways and green where in good condition only the tee boxes were burnt out on many of the tee s .Club House is very nice and staff are very polite.

greens in great shape. spectacular views. decent layout

Upon arrival to the country club, we were greeted by the head professional and other various staff. Everyone made us feel welcome, and invited. The restaurant had great deals for golfers, especially at the turn with hot dogs available for $3! The course was in very good condition and we definitely plan con playing again. Overall a great experience!

I finally got to play Cold Spring Golf Course, when I arrived a very friendly staff member greeted me at my car and took my clubs and put them on the cart. I went inside to check in and was asked if I had played this course and I said no. The staff proceeded to tell me to prepare for a great round.
As I went to get going I was offered free bottled water upon my departure to the first tee, and the staff member said use a 3 wood off the tee. I got to the first tee and pulled out my 3 wood and hit a monster drive which I was not prepared for. I should have used a 5 wood.
The tee boxes were a bit beat up, especially the white tee boxes, they need water and more time to mature. Some parts of fairways showed heat stress and lack of water. The fairways were cut short like the PGA Tour.
The fairways on the front nine tight and keep it in play, one bad tee shot and you will pay for it.
The greens, WOW!!!! PGA speed greens, cut short and very fast!!!! the cup cuts were sharp so if your putt nears the edge its not going in. I was impressed every green was the same very fast and true. Some of the best greens I have ever played.
The back nine is more forgiving, although the 11th hole has warning signs of both sides warning of POISON IVY!!! very thoughtful. The course is hilly and challenging you will need the cart if you walk good luck. I will go back and play this course, the views on the 10th hole are spectacular.

This course has great views, and many different shot requirements!

First time playing at Cold Spring CC, customer service is top shelf and the course was in excellent condition. Ken in the pro shop helped me and the guys at the bag drop were great too. They even cleaned my clubs between 9's and after my round without me even asking. What service!

The course needs to mature,
a little bit more! But a great value!!
