About this course

Canterbury Woods Country Club, tucked into the New Hampshire countryside, quietly offers a classic New England golf experience rooted in accessibility. Originally designed in the late 20th century, the course unfolds across gently rolling terrain, a departure from the granite-studded landscape more typically associated with the region's golf. Canterbury Woods favors a strategic, thoughtful approach rather than brute force. Its tree-lined fairways demand careful positioning, while the relatively modest length encourages shot-making and precision. Though unburdened by major championship pedigree, the course plays host to a thriving local amateur circuit, fostering a competitive spirit within its membership. The club is known for its convivial atmosphere, attracting a diverse group of golfers who appreciate a relaxed and welcoming environment. The post-round camaraderie, often centered around the club’s hearty New England fare, is as much a part of the Canterbury Woods experience as the golf itself. It's a place where the emphasis is on the simple joys of the game, enjoyed in good company.

Getting there

The journey to Canterbury Woods Country Club begins at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT), roughly forty minutes northwest through the rolling terrain of central New Hampshire. The drive traces Route 93 north before peeling onto quieter state roads that wind through classic New England countryside - stone walls, white-steepled churches, and dense hardwood forests that blaze with color each autumn. As you approach Canterbury, the landscape softens into pastoral farmland and wooded hillsides, the kind of unhurried, unpretentious setting that defines New Hampshire's Merrimack Valley, before arriving at a club that has quietly served its community since the mid-twentieth century.
