Candia Woods opened for play in 1964. The golf course was designed by Phil Wogan whose father, Skip Wogan, worked directly for the famed golf course architect Donald Ross. Through the years Candia Woods has undergone a number of changes and improvements all of which have been overseen by the original designer and his firm.
The club has been host to many state and local events including the prestigious New Hampshire Amateur in 1990 and the New Hampshire Open in 1971. Although Candia Woods offers the challenge to tournament players it is a very enjoyable course for players of all abilities. Generous fairways and the option to run the ball onto every green are part of the reason that Candia Woods is called: The Friendliest Course in New Hampshire.
As you play, you'll find large landing areas for your ball on this user-friendly course. Although there are some difficult hazards to deal with that will test your golfing skills, they are not penal. The greens are spacious, but they have slopes and undulations.
