Golf in Colchester

Colchester is a Middlesex County town in the Salmon River watershed east of Marlborough, a rural residential community known for the Salmon River State Forest and the agricultural character of its landscape. Two facilities—the nine-hole Chanticlair Golf Course and the Colchester Driving Range—serve the Colchester golf market in a community whose outdoor recreation identity centers on the Salmon River corridor's trout fishing, kayaking, and hiking as much as on golf. The Colchester Cobbler—a traditional shoe-making legacy from the nineteenth century—gives the community a craft heritage that coexists with the contemporary recreational identity shaped by the Salmon River State Forest's excellent fishing and hiking.
