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.

Reviewed Jul 6 2021 by James W - rated 5 out of 5 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!Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Aug 17 2020 by Robert W - rated 3 out of 5 Nice layout but mind the geese
An intriguing layout with a mixture of short and long holes as well as some tight drives to manage in between trees. Course was in good condition and being well fertliised by the loca geese. Make sure you wash you shoes or cart wheels post round! Once small bugbear, prices for visitors had been hiked due to Covid-19 which seemed a little short-sighted for my personal liking(Round played: May 2020 - Score: 84 Handicap: 10.3)

This is a interesting and tricky course.Greens were great when we went but fairways very dry.
I dont think they have the ability to water the fairways at all
But note, its very busy all day with lots of members and guests
Guest fees are steep and the clubhouse was closed due to covid

Enjoyed the course, the back nine is certainly more difficult. Well looked after.The bar and food service was disappointing, 30 minute wait for a sandwich is poor. To be fair the lady warned us but clearly not enough staff. Shame because otherwise a nice set up.
