Best Golf Resort Stays at Canterbury Golf Club
Canterbury Golf Club sits in Beachwood on Cleveland's east side, and the golf-resort hotels built around it cluster mainly in Beachwood itself, with a second group further south in Solon and Independence. Most of these are full-service properties rather than budget motels: indoor pools, on-site restaurants, and business centers are the norm, built for weekday corporate travel and golf groups on weekends. A group of eight can usually find two or three rooms within a ten-minute walk of Chagrin Boulevard, while a longer trip pairing this club with a second course further south does better basing itself in Solon or Independence along I-77 instead.

Beachwood Versus Solon: Picking a Base
Golf-resort here means practical rather than lavish: expect a Marriott, Hilton, IHG, or Hyatt property with the amenities a group actually uses between rounds, an indoor pool for a cooler evening, a business center for anyone still working remotely, and a restaurant close enough that nobody has to drive after a long day. The choice is less about picking a standout property and more about picking the right cluster: Beachwood for proximity to the club, Solon or Independence if the trip runs to a second course further south.
Beachwood is the default base for one simple reason: distance. Hotels like the Courtyard by Marriott, Hotel Indigo, and Aloft by Marriott all sit within a ten-minute walk of Chagrin Boulevard, and Canterbury Golf Club is a short drive from any of them. The trade-off is character: these are working hotels built for the office parks nearby, not resort properties, which means predictable rooms, reliable breakfast, and a fitness center more than a destination in themselves. For a group whose priority is minimizing the drive between the hotel and the first tee, that trade-off is the right one, and it is why most of Canterbury's golf-resort inventory sits here.
Solon and Independence, both further south along I-77, make more sense for a trip that pairs Canterbury Golf Club with a second course on the same visit. The Hampton Inn, SpringHill Suites, and TownePlace Suites clusters in Solon run the same corporate-travel character as Beachwood but sit closer to the interstate, cutting the drive to a southern Cleveland course without adding much time back to Canterbury itself. It is a base built around logistics rather than proximity to any single club, which is exactly the point for a multi-course society trip.
Groups that want to cook rather than eat out every night should look at the extended-stay cluster: Residence Inn, Homewood Suites, and Home2 Suites all list full kitchens, useful when eight people splitting a long weekend would rather handle breakfast themselves than wait on a hotel restaurant before an early tee time. These rooms tend to run as suites rather than standard doubles, which also solves the usual golf-trip problem of everyone tripping over shared luggage in a single room, and the savings on a week of restaurant breakfasts add up fast across a four-night society trip with eight players splitting the tab.
A smaller cluster near University Circle and downtown Cleveland, including the InterContinental Suites Hotel and Holiday Inn Cleveland Clinic, trades a longer drive to the club for proximity to the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Botanical Garden. It rarely makes sense as the only base for a Canterbury trip, since it adds twenty to twenty-five minutes each way, but it is worth one night if the group wants a change of scene, or if a non-golfing partner wants easy access to the museum district while the rest of the group plays.
Beachwood itself reads as suburban Cleveland rather than a resort town: office parks, a shopping corridor along Chagrin Boulevard, and hotel rows built for business travel that happen to sit close to the club. Solon and Independence, further south along I-77, share the same character, function over atmosphere. The exception is a small cluster near University Circle and downtown, close to the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Botanical Garden, worth adding a night to if the group wants a change of scene between rounds.
A traveler's takeI based our four-ball at the Drury Inn & Suites Cleveland Beachwood, a two-minute walk from Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant, which became our default dinner after the first round ran long. The indoor pool did more work than I expected on a cool evening, and free breakfast got us out the door early enough to beat the group backing up behind us at the club on a Saturday morning.
