About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71
Length 6521 yards
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.

Don’t walk

I asked the stunad in the pro shop if it was a hard course to walk. He said, “no”. This was fake news. Otherwise, it was a fun track and in good condition considering it’s April In NE. Looking forward to playing again this summer with a cart.

18$ each person on the cart is outrageous

Not worth the money. No restaurant, course conditions are ok. 18 each person per cart range tokens 12$(~15 balls). They tell you to hit on the side of the machine and it will give you more balls. Yeah right. Could be a really nice course.

Great course to play, it was a tough walk, but needed to be able to move it both ways to play well. Greens were hard but fair.

Hidden Gem of Western Mass!

By far one of the top courses in Western mass, very well kept, enough of a challenge to not make you want to throw a club (maybe the 3rd hole par 3). In all honesty, this course is forgotten about if you golf in this area and have never been, I’d suggest trying it as soon as you can!

Excellent condition and great signage

I just wish this course wasn't two and a half hours from my home. Went there because my golfing buddie and I got a good price on a round and we were up for a ride to a new (to us) course in a rural setting. We were not disappointed. We were even treated like VIPs. Just watch that 18th hole.

Played the course and it was a little hilly and you need a cart, some holes are far away for the tee. Staff was fantastic. 9 and 18 are a lot of fun......
