Type Semi-Private
Par 71

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.

Great views, fun day for golf.

The course is in good shape, recovering well from aeration, most greens are a little bumpy for putting otherwise in good condition. Very busy day, they sent everyone out back to back, lots of waiting and no ranger to help. Perfect weather made this an enjoyable day for walking and golf. Warning, hilly terrain makes it a challenge to walk, especially on 9 and 18.

Good course

The course was in great shape. Layout is good pace of play was 4 hrs. Fairways & bunkers were well maintained and the greens were rolling true. I’ll be back. Only negative was when we to the restaurant the TV’s were off and no one came over to take our order so We went somewhere else to eat and spend our money

Good course. Real golf test

I like cold spring. Good challenging course that remains a fair test of the golfer. I think they did a good job in the early season protecting areas and regrowing grass in areas. I think an area for improvement is sifting the rocks from several bunkers. Many of the bunkers have some real nice sand but a few of the steep walled traps are quite rocky. I guess you should avoid the traps though.

Call Ahead Before Playing

Forced to skip holes because of unknown tournament. Tournaments are apparently scheduled throughout the summer and there is no mention that you will have to skip holes due to the tournament.

I was not offered any compensation for the skipped holes. Staff told me tough luck.

It’s not the easiest course to find from where I live. They charge quite a bit for their carts, and it’s almost impossible to walk otherwise the play would be slow. My average round as a threesome is normally three and a half hours; however, Cold Sorings is more like 4 hours.

Great course. Great conditions

Well, maintained course. There are a few holes that are kind of silly because of the elevation but overall pretty fun to play.

Good course

Really enjoy Cold Spring. Quirky layout on the front but a real test of the golfer. The course requires you to work through the bag and missed shots get severely punished.

Good greens. Staff are nice and offered nice discounts to my brother for being former military and to my nephew for being a junior player.
