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.

Great Unique Course

Not too many courses I play have 6 par 3s and 5 par 5s. You also start off with a downhill par 3. Lots of elevation changes and dog legs. Tough walk if you go that route. Played late afternoon on a Saturday and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Have not been out to CSCC in a few years but I was glad to see the course conditions are still excellent. Very slick greens so stay below the hole if you can. Didn’t use the restaurant after the round but we could here some live music while playing 18 as the sun set. We will be back.

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.

Not worth the price

Played on a beautiful day. Pace of play was ok but nothing had been cut or taken care of. Tees, fairways and greens were very shaggy. Bunkers were hard packed and also had a temporary tee which would usually be acceptable in March. Will not be back anytime soon.

Hilly course, tough to walk

The course is in good shape for this time of year, it is recovering well. This course is offered as a walking only for GolfNow, choose carefully, walking is a challenge as this site has lots of hills.
