Just played both last week.
Canterbury was in good shape, struggling a bit with that dry spell, should be better now. Greens were pretty good, but bumpy in places and lots of pitch marks not repaired. Love the course-great layout.
Ragged was in tough shape. New ownership from Utah as of late 06 or early 07 rescued it from bankruptcy. It was rough last year, worse this year. New owners plan lots of improvements to the ski area there first (snowmaking first priority) and the golf course won't get much help until 07/08 apparently. This info came from a woman there who worked under the old ownership and continues under the new. Too bad-this is one of the most challenging layouts I have ever played (I've played all over NH and MA) and the greens used to be superb. Now lots of dead spots in fairways, on greens and the tee boxes. The bridges and walkways are falling apart, there's very little sand left in the bunkers, etc.
BUT, there's no one out there. Played alone and finished in about 3:30, which is refreshing.
