Starter, Staff is Miserable
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.
Great for Sneaking in 9 in Chicago
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.
Great course
The greens were in great shape as were the fairways

sand traps
great course and layout but the sand traps are terrible
nobody gets out on the 1st try and I'm a 3 handicap
Is it that they weren't raked? Or was it another issue? About 3 years ago they put a lot of effort into fixing the traps and they have been in decent shape since (by far the best of the Chicago Park District courses). I haven't had the same experience as you.

Solid city course, absolutely terribly managed
The course itself is extremely solid, in good shape, and a good value for the price, but the pace of play is atrocious, and the ranger is non-existent at best and actively hostile at worse. People play in groups of six, seven, even eight golfers, treat three foot putts like they’re clinching the Masters while four groups are waiting on them, and you’ll sometimes you’ll tee off 30 minutes after your tee time while at others the ranger will hassle you to hurry up and drive when you’re five minutes early to the first tee box.
I get that it’s a city course, but the course is a cheap, nine hole gem and all of these problems are so easily mitigated with some basic competency that it’s baffling that they exist.
Love the course, but get it together.
