Golf, Resort and Club Access
Canterbury sits inside PGA National, so the PGA National Resort, its spa and dining, and five championship courses, including the Champion course that hosts the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic, are just minutes from your door. Club membership is private and optional. Some homes come with one and many don’t, so you can choose golf, sports or social access, or none at all, to fit how you live. The PGA Property Owners Association maintains parks and green space across the community, which keeps the grounds spacious and the overall feel relaxed.
