Black Hall Club
About Black Hall Club
Black Hall Club is a private club in Old Lyme, Connecticut, built around a championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Multiple sets of tees accommodate a range of playing abilities, and the layout's natural routing, with holes that flow from one to the next, makes the course well suited to walking.
Membership is limited and the club does not use tee times, so members play on their own schedule. Beyond casual rounds, the club runs regular programs for men, women and mixed groups, along with a calendar of member tournaments, guest days, club championships and interclub matches.
