Canterbury Golf Club is a private golf and country club located in the Cleveland suburb of Beachwood, Ohio, US. The club was formerly the home of the DAP Championship, part of the Web.com Tour Finals.

A member club of the USGA, Canterbury has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of the top 100 courses in the United States. The club has hosted the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship, as well as the U.S. Senior Open, the Senior PGA Championship, and the U.S. Amateur.

History

Following its establishment on February 2, 1921, by a contingent of Cleveland's University Club, the club purchased a Шаблон:Convert site in a sparsely developed suburban area located approximately Шаблон:Convert southeast of downtown Cleveland. The property lays primarily in Beachwood and, at its northernmost tip, in Shaker Heights. The site was chosen for its high elevation, rolling hills, brooks, and wooded areas.

Designed by architect Herbert Strong, development of the course began in 1921. The first nine holes were opened on July 1, 1922. The second nine were completed shortly thereafter. The course was later enlarged and reconstructed, in 1928, by W. H. Way.

The club is named for Canterbury, Connecticut, the birthplace of Cleveland's founder, General Moses Cleaveland. Female members were first admitted in 1923.
