ABOUT THE COURSE

Springfield Country Club (1375 Elm St., West Springfield) has been open for play since 1900. Water hazards come into play on four holes, including the signature Hole #6, a 408-yard Par 4, which requires a blind tee shot. The Mass. Golf Association has rated this the second hardest hole in Western Mass.

As you golf throughout the day, be on the lookout for the on-course Beverage Cart or Beverage Hut and take note of our many generous tee sponsors, who collectively help make all that FOH does possible in Greater Springfield.
