Black Hall is a private golf club located in the Connecticut shoreline community of Old Lyme. As the top rated private club in southeastern Connecticut, Black Hall and its members embrace the ideals and traditions of the game of golf. Black Hall is a golf club in the truest sense and continually concentrates on the golf experience as the focal point of the club.
It was in February of 1962 when the founding members of Black Hall signed a contract with Trent Jones to design and build the first and only golf course of championship caliber in the lower Connecticut Valley. Work soon began and on July 8th 1967, 18 holes at Black Hall were open for play to its membership. The routing offers great variety and challenges throughout; an optimal setting for Jones to work.
Black Hall has played host to all the major Connecticut championship and has hosted several qualifiers for U.S. Opens, U.S. Amateurs, U.S Mid-Ams, Travelers Championships and the U.S. Amateur Fourball Championship. We take our responsibility as a steward of the game seriously, particularly in Connecticut.
