Robert Black is better than ever!
Part of me is very hesitant to give this review because they already have very few available teetimes as it is. However, this nine hole gem is in the best shape it’s ever been in, which is quite an accomplishment given how many rounds of golf are played there daily. They also have the best staff they’ve ever had managing the golf shop and the course itself. I have been playing there since 1985 and the experience it is today is better than it has ever been.
Best 9 Hole in Chicago
Fantastic as always. Friendly staff, good course maintenance, great pricing. The Title says it all, best 9 hole in Chicago!
Good
Reasonable price and pretty short course. So good for beginner.
Good ole bobby B
Nice easy 9 hole layout. Usually is in decent condition. Lot of easy pr 3 holes for beginners. Green complexes are actually pretty cool for the course. It’s simple but great for what it is. Full of good people. Staff is great and I often play alone and always am paired with good people. Not worth getting a cart - super easy walk
Beautiful public course!
Nice layout of the course! Great shape! Good price! The only problem I was held up by two players in front of me and wouldn’t let me go lay through. No one ahead of them. Younger guys, they need to learn golf etiquette! Overall I would play again for sure!
Solid public course
I always love going to play Robert A. Black. nice short course with some fun challenging holes. It's not going to host a Pro-Am any time soon but there's a convenient putting and chipping green, and a staff that seemed very nice.
Great Conditions
Bobby Black is my go-to 9 hole city course. Friendly staff, great pace and grounds are in great condition
green condition
I played here more than 100times..short little city 9 hole course that better condition than most other muni courses..greens should be faster..they were like fairway ..very soft slow green...should wheight rolled and cut!!
some time okay but not consistent..
