5/5
Excellent course for fall golf. No trees to worry about with leaves in the fairway. Great staff and facility all around.
Course in good shape except for greens which were aerated
Course was quite nice except for the greens, which after aeration are quite bumpy. Four hour round with a full course was nice. Range and full practice area closed for season. Bathrooms and halfway house closed, but there was a beverage cart circulation.
First time
Really fun, but windy! Makes it more challenging. Course is in great shape, but greens were just aerated and range is closed. Happy to get in a great round in November!
Aerated Greens and Cart Paths
Play both courses maybe 3-4 times each a year, but definitely feel I should have been notified that greens were aerated. Totally understand they need done late in the season but the greens were a struggle with the ball bouncing all over the place.
Also feel every time I come the cart paths get worse in terms of potholes.
Love Port - but please pave the cart paths!!! Chicago Potholes!!
The Port course is definitely the better, tougher and more scenic of the 2 courses at Harborside - especially the final 4 holes. Loved the layout and experience.
2 complaints for Harborside:
- they had recently aerated the greens - should have been called out on the reservation page or given a discount as the greens were not in putting form and had lots of holes filled with sand - which they have to do. Other courses give discounts for aeration or tell you when you book.
- the course is so Chicago in that the cart paths are one continuous big pothole and a very bumpy and that day splashy drive. it's embarrassingly bad for such a great track that charges a premium price. please spend a few dollars in the offseason and just pave the cart paths - they are a total joke and again, an embarrassment to the quality of this place!!!
- love the practice range!!!!
Enjoyable day at a top notch course and facility.
The day we played was perfect with a slight breeze. You should expect a breeze whenever you play here. It's very exposed and built higher than the surrounding terrain. The course was in great shape and played like a links course is supposed to. Expect your ball to run out and we had several go over greens into the longer stuff. The fairways are nice, but firm as they should be. The staff is excellent, very friendly, and will make sure you have a good time.
A side note here: This in no way reflects on the course personnel or the facility. I had issues with GolfNow's reservations. I made the tee time online and within 3 minutes I received a cancellation from the course. So, I called the course to verify the tee time and they had no record of it. I talked to Terry, Director of Golf, and after hearing the story, he assured me they would make sure we got on the course at that time and they did. Kudos to Terry and staff for making this issue go away. However, I contacted GolfNow by online chat and was in contact with one of their reps. After a time on the chat, he assured me that it was taken care of. We arrived at the course, 2 hour drive from Michigan and they still did not have our name on the tee sheet. I don't know what GolfNow was doing, but Terry had to call them and I don't know if it ever got straightened out. As I wrote before, we got to play at the time we wanted so it all worked out.
Why can't Haborside fix the cart paths?
Enjoy playing this course, but I feel like I have to take Tylenol after navigating the cart paths. The greens fees and busy and expensive courses should pay for fixing some potholes.
Good Day for golf
I played the Port course at Harborside International on 09/04/2020, with three other buddies. It’s been approximately five years since I played it last. The course has held up nicely. It looks like they cut back the high fescue, in certain areas, to make it a little more playable on wayward shots. The greens rolled nice and smooth. The staff was very courteous and friendly. It was a perfect day temperature wise. We teed off at 9:30 with a slight breeze, and the wind picked up steadily as the day went on, but it is Harborside and wind is to be expected. The only minor issue is the cart paths are beginning to show signs of wear. We had drinks on the patio, of the clubhouse, afterwards enjoying the views overlooking the eighteenth greens. I will definitely be back.
Love this course
I played the Port for the second time. Both courses are some of my favs in Chicago. The facilities, course conditions and pace of play are what keep me coming back.
