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.

Nice course

I’ll get the complaints out of the way first because I really liked the course overall. We showed up about 1/2 hour early and we’re immediately rushed out by a staff member to get ahead of a senior league without even setting foot in the pro shop or even getting the chance to take a score card. While I appreciated getting out before a large group, it is always unnerving to be rushed out onto the course and literally told to “hurry up”. We also had the grounds crew ahead of us on several holes and while this happens on many courses, here they totally ignored us and made us wait to tee off or on our approach shots. There was even a time where they left a maintenance cart right next to the green we were hitting our approach shots onto, blocking a portion of our shots. Lastly and more annoying than an actual issue, since we didn’t have score cards we relied on the sign at each tee box to see what the hole looked like. A lot of them were facing the wrong way so we had to walk up, read the sign and then go back to the cart to select the club.
Other than these issues it was great. Things were in good condition, and overall we had fun. This is a long course. Great for people who like to hit the ball far. I’d recommend it and hopefully we just had an off day with the staff issues.

cost

I was extremely upset at the price we were charged! Consequently will most likely never go back! The two of us had a 9hole rain check that we paid full price for. We were charged a "special" nine hole rate rather than half of the 18 hole rate. So instead of paying half of the $47.50 senior rate each ($47.50) the person charged us the special" nine hole rate of $30 totally $60... In essence the rain check was reduced in value from $47.50 to $35. Its not the money difference that upsets me but the principal of the entire situation. Are things that bad that you have to take advantage of your golfers. In addition the greens were just aerated and we were never told when booking our tee time! We love this course and play many times a year, not any more!

Your staff obviously needs to be trained better in customer service?

Course was decent

First time playing the course. The layout was pretty nice, the greens were pretty good, but some of the other things made the experience so-so. Had a problem with my cart on the front nine and changed it on the back nine. That golf cart died six holes later. The restaurant was closed and there was no beer. Not going back anytime soon

We did not use any of the amenities. The course wa in very good condition with the exception of the greens. The greens were scuffed up and had many ball marks.

Hidden great course

This course is a little out of the way, but worth the drive. It is in great shape, lots of hills, not easy to walk. Challenges are plenty, it will test your shot ability.
Will play again, lots of fun.

Virgin round

It was a rainy wet day but the course over all was in good shape. This is a hilly up and down course. Added some fun to club selection. The one issue is there are lots of rocks in the bunkers so we all decided to take drops so as not to damage our clubs. The bunkers need to be strained of these rocks. Otherwise nice course. Greens were in good shape. Tee boxes in good shape. Fairways in good shape.
The restaurant was unfortunately closed not sure what’s up with that.
Overall I’d say it’s worth the price. Fix the bunkers and it will be much better.
Will come here again.

Tee to green

This is not a long yardage course but, has a lot of elevated tees and shots into the greens. There are 5 sets of tee boxes so, every level can play. The greens are fast and roll very well. You will be challenged.

Great course!

The golf course is awesome, and I love playing here. Major props to the maintenance staff as well as superintendent. They do a fantastic job!

Just suggest they go backwards once the morning golfers catch them, so they aren’t on every hole from 7-18. Again, great work guys, just go backwards after the front 9. It is way more efficient and customer/member friendly.

Great to play In summer time

My friend and I played here lots of time and those time either it was raining, wets or sometime foggy. Those times were not golf season yet. Today we decided to play in summertime and it was worth it. Course was in excellent condition and the green was rolling. I advise those who ever come up this way to check out this course. It's a hiidden gem. The price was also great with cart! Too bad there was no cart girl because itvwas scorching!
