Robert A. Black Golf Club

For the price, there’s no better track within 30 miles. I had no expectations but for $14… the track was pristine. Challenging course but forgiving and unique.

We went to this course for the first time and we were forced to play with 2 randoms that have never played before or knew golf etiquette. I understand with the size of the course they want to make sure pace of play keeps up but man it made 9 holes feel like we almost played 18. Also, no beer or alcohol beverages was a drag that should have been told on their site. Would recommend to go to the other Chicago golf courses over this one.

The starter, older gentleman, might be the most miserable person I have ever met. If you don’t like your job, quit.

His attitude will ruin your day.

Other than that great course.

With the slow rate of play, the porta potty was a nice touch. Even with Covid-19 it’s still needed. Too bad management decided to remove the portable toilet.

For the price, accessibility, and course quality, I'm not sure you can beat Robert Black in Chicago. It's a short drive via its location and plays fairly quick. In fact, you'll likely get done and want to play it again. Amenities are fairly non-existent (don't expect beer carts) and the course isn't quite as nice as thoughs in the suburbs, but I can't find a reason to complain given I can sneak in 9 here almost anytime I would like for very cheap. I also would note, compared to Sydney and other courses, the quality of clientele is much better here if you get paired. Very kind staff as well.

Easy and quick round of golf. For a city course it’s well maintained even with so much rain. Good course for beginners.
