About Robert A. Black Golf Course

Robert A. Black Golf Course is a Chicago Park District municipal course on the city's North Side, located along West Pratt Boulevard in the Rogers Park-West Ridge neighborhood near the lakefront. Named after a prominent Chicago civic figure, the course serves the diverse North Side communities of Rogers Park, West Ridge, and Edgewater — some of Chicago's most culturally eclectic neighborhoods. As a Chicago Park District facility, Robert A. Black provides affordable public golf access to the urban North Side population, many of whom would otherwise have no access to the game. The course layout is compact and accessible, fitting the Park District's mission of bringing recreation to every Chicago neighborhood. The North Side lakefront location gives the area a distinct microclimate and cultural character.
