Washed out bunkers

Played here Sunday 8/6/17. Every single bunker was washed out from what must have been very heavy rain and they were basically unplayable. No attempt at repairs were made and no discount for course conditions was offered - very disappointing. Greens were a little bumpy - maybe recently aerated and not fully healed yet. Normally a great course and in good condition, but this particular day was very disappointing.

Very friendly staff

We were greeted by an extremely friendly lady, Sandy. Checked us in, sold us a token for the driving range and said the course was a little ahead of schedule so to check back with her when we were done. They were more than accommodating to us. Golf course was in OK condition, the greens were a bit beat up, but our tee time was later in the day, the sand traps and some of the the cart paths were washed away due to the horrific storms that came through in the past 2 days, otherwise great course and exceptional staff.

Canterbury Woods Review

2017 was the first year in my life where i played atleast 2-3 times a week for the summer. I played at multiple courses throughout New England and Canterbury Woods was the best course i played all year, The tee boxes were clean, taken care, the fairways were great and the greens were perfect. They were a little fast but they were in perfect condition. Best course all year!

aerated greens

I realized that the price was unusually low - but somehow it should be posted before booking.

Enjoyable Round of Golf

I get to play Canterbury a couple of times per year and always enjoy it. It has an excellent layout, a lot of different elevation changes and lies to keep things interesting. The conditions are consistently really good and it is relatively inexpensive. My only criticism is the speed of play, though not terrible, could be improved on. Nice course at a great value!

Highly Recommend

I have played many different courses throughout VT and NH. This is by far and hands down my favorite course to date. Well kept up. Challenging yet not to long for the average golfer. Just a lot of fun to play and definitely a great value. Certainly a must play if you are anywhere near by. I can't say enough good about it.

Fun course to play!

This is a fun and challenging course. Conditions for early season were really good! Had a lot of fun getting the first round of the year under my belt. You can't beat the hot deal value at this course!

Awesome time

This course has always been a favorite of mine. It's a must play if you are anywhere even close. Lot's of elevation change, great views, perfect greens. I got out late afternoon and was able to finish 18 in 3 hours, with a couple friendly people allowing me to pass as a single in a cart. Can't wait to come back when the trees are full and the course is in peak condition

Nice course,friendly staff

Course played well for early spring conditions. Fairways and greens in great shape for time of year. The weather was cool and windy and course played tough to those conditions. Had to use whatever skills you have to get around and score well.
