About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71

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.

Not worth it

For the price they are charging, go anywhere else. There are 6 par 3s. Sure you can get a hot deal but then they blast you for $25 with a cart fee.

Love cold spring

Best public course in the area … challenging and beautiful… if someone tells you they hate this place it’s because they can’t handle real golf and they had a bad round … losers always blame something others than themselves

Great public course in very nice shape

So, I was supposed to be playing a Stroke Play tournament at a course in eastern Massachusetts and it was canceled due to tropical storm Ophelia. I was desperate to play a round, so I was looking at the weather trying to find a area with a window of no rain to play, Bingo I find A 7am tee time at Cold Spring (weather channel says no rain until 10 or 11)

I was the first golfer on the course and was amazed at the conditions, as I played my round, every green had been cut & Rolled, every bunker had been groomed (This on a day that was going to be washed out in 3 or so hours) ended up playing 18 in 2:42 & the raindrops started right after I got in my car

This course has a great variety of holes, short, long, tight & wide open, but always in nice shape. Beautiful scenery (especially when the trees start changing) , and their Pure White Sand in the bunkers is both visually appealing, but also has a very nice consistency when playing out of.

Looking forward to my next round here!

Great Condition

Always been nice, but in probably the best condition I've ever seen it. Greens were great, new sand in the traps (happy to report I missed them all), fairways nice. Played in under 4 hours. You won't be disappointed.
