Harbor Shores

Great course - imo not worth $275 but we got in for $125 and I’d play it more often if that was the case.

They promote water views. Truly there are no lake views from the course. I had hiked up some grass mounds just to see the water. It’s fine but don’t advertise beautiful lake views.

Real lake views are at Arcadia bluffs and Boyne/petosky courses.

Great layout, but very tough first time out. I recommend using a fore caddy. There are a few holes that local knowledge would be very helpful.

This is a beautiful, challenging and well maintained course! Not for the timid or beginner.

I try to play Harbor Shores at least once a season. Just like years past, this round did not disappoint. From bag drop to post round, the staff and course were first class. Driving range was well stocked good grass. The tee boxes were in great shape. Greens rolled consistent to putting greens. We had a 30 minute down pour and the course seemed to drain well. Only disappointment, I didn't make time to play the Wee Course.

It's a $80 course disguised as a premium due to its designer. You can see the lake from two holes

If you look for it but they aren't on the lake. Designed with some trick holes that I think I is made for pros. Why drive 180 to have a 230 approach to a par 4v? Shoot a great drive from the white tees in the signature hole and you have 150 straight up hill to a micro green. Placement golf. Well taken care of but I can find many similar holes on logger cheaper public courses. Sorry. Never again. $200 for a course not as good as Harborside Carntigny or the front nine of Thunderhawk. Checked it off my bucket list but don't want to go back. Save your money. So many better breath taking courses for less money.

As always the course was in great shape. The pro shop staff was very friendly and helpful.

We went in November on a cold cloudy day, and the course was in surprisingly great shape. The staff was very friendly and great to talk to. Every hole is excellently designed and very memorable. My only criticism is that the signage could be better to direct golfers from hole to hole to keep golfers from getting lost.

Amazing course, great conditions, great afternoon of golf. Staff are super attentive. It’s a little strange when all is shut down before players are off the course, but as a whole it is an amazing golf experience. Cost is high for late fall golf, but it was an awesome afternoon, and I’d pay it again.

Harbor Shores is a must play if you are in the area. The price is a little steep but Golfnow makes it easy to find reasonable rates. Make sure to take in all of the views and enjoy the experience at Harbor Shores.

Staff needs to control golfers.

5 hour round

Otherwise a delightful course

Some green complexes were a bit over the top.

First time playing Harbor Shores, and let me first start with the course is immaculate. One of the most well-keep courses I’ve ever played. Greens are truly insane (I’ve never in my life seen a green like #10!). Hole 7 is everything you read about…breathtaking view!

I was left wanting a lot more on the last few holes. 16-18 felt like a huge letdown of a finish after some really excellent holes 1-15. For the price, this is one that I’m glad I checked off the list, but will probably only play here again on a discounted rate.

Challenging course, interesting greens and good use of the environment.

Also it seems the course had a sense of humor I like that!
