About this course
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.

Getting there
Spring Meadows Golf Club at Cole Farms is most readily accessed via Portland International Jetport (PWM), situated roughly thirty minutes to the south in Maine's largest city, from which a scenic drive north through rolling farmland and dense pine forest delivers you to Gray in approximately forty-five minutes. The route traces a gentle ascent from coastal lowlands into the quieter agricultural heart of southern Maine, where the landscape gradually opens into the pastoral terrain that defines this corner of the state. Private aviation options are available at nearby regional facilities, though the club's rural setting and intimate scale make the unhurried ground approach - winding through country roads lined with birch and spruce - an integral part of the arrival experience. The final miles unfold through working farmland and forest, a fitting prelude to the serene, understated elegance of Spring Meadows itself.
