What the club says: Benton Hall is a challenging parkland course set amongst natural woodland and rolling countryside. Renowned for its impressive views, each hole represents its own challenge, with the river Blackwater meandering through the course adding to the picture postcard views. After your round of golf, relax in the Clubhouse or on the terrace overlooking the lake with its abundance of wildlife.

Massive shame!!

Difficult to play a round of golf unless you like to play when nobody does. Don’t ever think about becoming a member here.

Tidy track, very friendly club

Course is challenging but always interesting. A few too many tight tree lined fairways at times but very good greens and overall presentation was above average. The club and members seem very friendly, welcoming and with some nice food and drink options to round off the long and hilly walk. Well worth a go.

It's a tester

Just when you think you've got the coarse worked out the back 9 comes and gives you a good kicking,.

Benton Hall

Best greens I have played so far this year, course in very good condition for the time of year, staff at reception the bar and the half way hut were very nice and friendly. Would probably join the club if I lived nearer. Bit annoying though when your putting and a green keeper keeps mowing around the green, but didn’t spoil the day. Would like to play in the summer when the trees are in bloom.

Great course and facilities. Greens in good order. Still a bit boggy off the fairways and temporary tees on front nine.

Great condition golf course

Good solid course. Great condition and a lot of care has gone into the making and maintaining of the course.
The holes are a tad short and green fees are quite high compared to courses around the area. But the condition is better here.

Courteous players

I joined Benton Hall recently but was nearly put off by the negative comments on here about pace of play and bad etiquette. These worries were totally unfounded. I played as a solo player today and was waved through by four separate three and four balls who had no real reason to do so and were all very cheery as I played my way through. Very courteous golfers. Super pleased to have chosen Benton Hall as my club, it’s a beautiful course in fine condition despite the recent heavy rainfall. The greens are fast and true, and hold perfectly with well struck approaches. Looking forward to a fine summer of golf now!

Main problem is other golfers

Love the course itself but after a number of bad experiences with extremely slow and repeatedly poor behaviour by other players we no longer play this course.
