Golf is one of the smallest villages in Cook County, a tiny residential enclave on the north side sitting on generally higher, well-drained ground. There is no major river cutting through it, so flood exposure is limited and any concerns tend to be localized. Where a parcel does fall near a Special Flood Hazard Area, a FEMA Elevation Certificate provides the precise elevation reading against the Base Flood Elevation.
A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA flood map. Insurers use it to rate flood policies and communities use it to confirm floodplain compliance; it can also support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a structure from a flood zone.

Golf is a very small village of roughly 500 residents in Niles Township in northern Cook County. Its stormwater drains toward the North Branch of the Chicago River watershed through the system the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) manages. Given the village’s small footprint and higher ground, notable flood exposure is limited and mostly tied to localized drainage rather than a mapped riverine flood zone. In the rare case a parcel here sits near mapped flooding, an Elevation Certificate documents its elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance rating, permit compliance, and a Letter of Map Amendment.

Flood exposure is limited. Golf sits on higher ground with no major river, so concerns are mostly localized rather than tied to a mapped riverine flood zone.
Only if your parcel is in or near a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area or a lender or insurer requests one. A surveyor can confirm whether it is affected.
It documents a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation and supports flood-insurance rating, permit compliance, and LOMA requests.
