Spring Meadows at Spring Meadows Golf Club at Cole Farms

Spring Meadows Golf Club at Cole Farms sits in Gray, a small town in Cumberland County roughly fifteen miles north of Portland. The course occupies land that was part of the historic Cole Farms property, known locally for its agricultural heritage and ice cream stand that has served the community for generations. Designer William Bradley Booth routed the layout across rolling terrain characteristic of southern Maine's glacially shaped landscape, with natural elevation changes and wooded corridors framing many holes.

The course reflects Booth's approach to working within New England's topography, incorporating native vegetation and existing land features rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. Fairways move through a mix of open meadow areas and tree-lined sections, with water coming into play on several holes. The property's natural drainage patterns and modest elevation shifts create variety in stance and shot requirements throughout the round.

Spring Meadows serves primarily as a public-access facility, drawing golfers from the Greater Portland area and seasonal visitors to Maine's southern coast region. The course operates within the context of Maine's relatively short playing season, typically opening in late April or early May and closing in late October or November depending on weather. The Cole Farms connection maintains a link to the property's agricultural past, and the facility offers straightforward amenities suited to daily-fee play in a small-town New England setting.
