Cold Spring Country Club
The Cold Spring golf experience is truly one of the finest that Long Island country clubs have to offer. Golfers will play this beautifully designed Seth Raynor 18 hole course which surrounds Oheka Castle. If it’s a great golf course you want, Cold Spring will deliver. Having hosted many area events and qualifiers - most recently the 2011 Met Open Qualifier - the reviews from some of the top golfers in our area have been outstanding. The course offers difficulty yet playability. As one professional said, “The condition is excellent and the playability is fantastic. You do not have a bad hole on this golf course.”
