Golf in Old Lyme

Old Lyme is positioned at the mouth of the Connecticut River where it enters Long Island Sound, with a history as a nineteenth-century artists' colony that produced the American Impressionist movement and gave the town a cultural identity that persists in the Florence Griswold Museum and the ongoing tradition of artistic life in the community. Black Hall Club occupies a private position in this landscape, serving a membership drawn from the summer colony and year-round residents of a town that has always attracted those who value the visual quality of the Connecticut River estuary. The marshes, the Sound views, and the light that attracted the Old Lyme Impressionists continue to give the area an atmospheric character that distinguishes it within southeastern Connecticut.
