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.

Course is waking up, aerated greens.

The course is in good shape for this time of year. The greens are aerated with lots of sand, hard to putt on, fairways are good, grass is coming around. This course is a hard walk, lots of hills. Fun to play.

Great course /Poor employee interaction

I have been playing golf for over 35 years and locally I am extremely well known. I could play any course I want but I really enjoy our local courses here in Westen Ma, I have playing this course 2 times a week for 3 straight season now since I have moved closer to it. I am a 8 handicap and travel all over the world playing golf. I had never had a problem anywhere in the world until recently. I have 64 rounds of golf saved that I have played from this course over that 3 season timeframe and have never had 1 negative thing to say until today. I made a tee time on Friday for the following Sat (like I do for every course I play.). Everything went perfect like always. Upon looking at my emails a couple hours later the reservation had been canceled. I thought it was something I did accidentally so proceeded to pick another time(since my oringinal time was now booked)and reserve it again. Again a few hours later I checked my emails again and saw another cancellation for the 2nd tee time I made. I decided to call the course to see what was going on and make an over the phone reservations. I called, got in touch with the pro shop, and began to request a tee time. The 1st response I got from the Pro Shop was “Are you going to show up??” This caught completely off guard. I stated that I play there atleast 2 times a week and have only miss a hand for of time mostly due to heavy rain. The gentleman (who’s name I will not say) proceeded to tell me “Well I have it right here on the computer in front of me,. You have missed 3 reservations over the past!” I told him that I play there every week atleast twice, and the only time I will not play is in the pouring rain. I explained that I play in the cold, wind, or even light rain just not in a downpour and if I didn’t show it would only be due to weather. I was told that he doesn’t know if those day had rain just that I didn’t show. After a little back and forth I told him that fine I will just go to another local course and play there instead. All of a sudden they were willing to give me a tee time without hesitation. ( That a really quick change of heart) Well I declined and made a Tee time 2 minutes later and another local course. The minute I talked to someone in the pro shop at the other local course, I was treated will nothing but respect. Actually as soon as I gave them my name for the reservation, the pro stated how happy he was to have me back playing the course and asked that when I do arrive to come in to say “Hello”So the standard at this course is to cancel reservations with no explanation after confirmation numbers are given, And if you do make a tee time and can’t make it for any reason, Be prepared to have it held against you in the future.

Finally a sunny day without rain.

Played 18 in under 4 hours. Saw the Eclipse on the 18th hole. Everyone at the restaurant seemed to enjoy everyone’s company.

Cold Spring

Course was in very good shape after snow fall two days earlier. The course was soaked in only a few spots and damp in others. But considering the weather we’ve had the course is very playable and in great shape!

March Golf

I was just happy to be out in March. There were a lot of people out, but the pace of play was fine. The course layout seemed like it would be very nice at the height of the season. There’s some fun and very challenging holes.
