Port at Harborside International Golf Center

Only played because I got a deal, pictures show the anchor design of a par 3 that’s only visible from a helicopter you can’t see in on the course so it’s useless, sand traps (some) were hard and packed down impossible to get under the ball, would never pay regular rates over $100, not worth fighting city traffic.

Amazing track. From the layout to the views of Chicago in the background to the overall vibe there. Played on a Wednesday around lunch time so the pace of play was perfect. I was paired up with the fellows and we slapped the 18 in about 3.5 hours. The staff is amazing (the pro shop manager sounds 100% like Mark Grote of the Score). If I had to do a con of the experience (if it even is one) it would be that the 15th hole on the Port course is extremely cheesy and not that fun. Elevated green on a 170ish yard par 3. The wind was whipping in our face at 30mph. The sea of sand traps shaped as an anchor staring you down. But the green being an arch that is a guaranteed 2 putt minimum if you hit the wrong side.

Fast greens and a lot of sand, overall challenging course. slow pace you can get caught behind very slow people

Played here on a Friday night tee time was 4:40pm with sunset at 7:30.

Everyone was friendly and nice that I spoke to but the tee course was so backed up it was unenjoyable. We would be done with a hole and be waiting for 5 mins at the next tee box for the guys infront of us to hit. The course was fully booked and I truly wasn’t able to enjoy my round as I should due to the overbooking they had on the course. Other than that course was great it was well kept and the layout while difficult it was forgiving. I hope to play again in the future with better pace of play especially when I’m paying $70 for twilight hours.

Port course cart paths final fixed - makes the whole experience so much better

I called the Pro Shop before my tee time to ask if hey had any restrictions and was told none. However, there were 4-5 holes that were cart path only and the condition of those hole were awful. Their cart path are in very bad condition.

The course has horrible drainage and cart paths are in disrepair. For the amount they charge they should update the cart paths.

I played on a day that saw four days of previous rain. I tried to cancel but was told no. The course had so much standing water. And the rough didn't appear to have been trimmed in many days. Because the rough is exceedingly high, the grass was so wet making it impossible to hit out of.

The course should not have opened, or given full refunds.

Both tracks are great!! They are working on improving and replacing the cart paths.

Best courses in Chicago and staff is friendly and professional!!

I was disappointed overall. The staff is amazing from the checked bags, restaurant service and the starter. All friendly and attentive. The greens were fantastic as well. But overall, the course looks unkept, rundown and just worn. Flower beds are empty with just mulch in them. All around the cart paths are just dirt like they have given up trying to keep grass there. Weeds all over the grounds. No water on course at all. Only two garbage cans total on the 18 holes. One rake per sand bunker and the bunkers are huge so bunkers don’t get raked. I heard great things about the place so was excited to play. Unlikely I’ll ever come back.

Great course. They charge a

Fairly premium price and it’s hard to believe they have ignored the completely

Deplorable condition of the cart paths … very difficult and uncomfortable

..

Been like that for

Several years .. don’t get it-

I golfed here after a night of really bad storms. I couldn’t believe how playable the course was. Almost like it hardly rained.

Ver challenging especially if you don’t hit the ball straight. The course is in great shape but the cart paths are pretty torn up.
