The course rating is 73.2 and it has a slope rating of 141 on Bent grass. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, ASGCA, the Black Hall golf course opened in 1968.

The 6th hole will test your intestinal fortitude. The natural beauty of the course and the surrounding area made for good golf. We found the staff to be outstanding. Bob met us at the car with a cart and directions to the lunch shack on the course (clubhouse closed due to Covid 19). He could not have been nicer. Heather at the starter's hut was very friendly and accommodating. Greens fees include range balls and the practice green gets you set for the course. We had a great time!

There are several older reviews, which were probably accurate at the time. But I was there today,…read moreMay 24, 2017, and this is in great shape. Excellent greens and fairways, many maintenance folks working on the course. Not at all dried out, lush fairways and roughs, in most cases. There were some dried out spots along the sides of some greens and fairways, by 80 or 90% is good grass. Really a remarkable change from when I played here a few years ago. This has been renamed Black Birch golf course, was originally Banner Lodge golf club. I grew up on this course, learn to play here over 50 years ago. Then it was just a nine hole course. Eventually expanded to 18 holes. Played there regularly for many years, and it was never really well-maintained. Went back this week and I was extremely surprised at the improvements that have been made. Highly recommend anyone in the area to give it a try. Greens were in great, great shape. Many improvements, such as several well laid out asphalt cart paths. Realigned several holes to make them fair, but challenging. Cleaned out many areas of brush and undergrowth. Ponds are well-maintained, with good landscaping. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Connecticut.

Literally the worst conditioned course I've ever played. There are no fairways, just crabgrass and…read moreweeds all over. All the same length and so high that if you hit down the middle you will lose your ball. The tee boxes are laughably bad and the greens may be worse than anything I've ever seen. Putting is a guessing game of which crater and dead spot will kick your ball out of line. If I lived across the street and they said I could golf for free any time I wanted to I would never golf again. I won a pass for 18 and a cart for 2 people at a tournament and I threw the certificate away because it wasn't even enjoyable. It takes a lot for me to review something but this made me so mad that a course could have the balls to charge any money to play here.

The course is in immaculate condition. It's like playing on a plush carpet…read more It had rained about 3 inches in the past few days, so there was some wet spots, but that is to be expected. Also, the rough is thick and leafy, so I lost a few balls I would likely have found any other time of the year. But, again, these are to be expected in mid-October. The course is laid out nicely and offers a challenge while not killing you in the process. The scenery was fantastic. You just can't beat autumn in New England! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Greenskeeping crew were very polite and respectful of the golfers. Price to walk mid-week was reasonable.

I also rented clubs and thought everything was pretty reasonably priced, everything seemed to be maintained pretty well and there was a fun variety if terrain for each hole. It was raining lightly when we first came, and if it's raining when you start golfing there's no rain check (which makes sense). The workers are kind and explain everything in depth to you. There's also a restaurant/bar which is a nice place to stop by after golfing. We wanted to practice before starting but don't think they have a driving range here or we weren't told about it?
