Port at Harborside International Golf Center

Terrible layout, No element of risk reward on the golf course. Punitive in ways that aren’t enjoyable as a golfer. There’s fescue basically five yards off the fairway throughout the port course, particularly on the front nine, There’s one hole on the front nine where the fairway zig zags every 20-25 yards, four or five times around bunkers and fescue, basically penalizing anyone who hits it over 200 yards from the tips. That’s chicken-s golf course design that doesn’t create an experience where golfers can be rewarded for good shots and penalized for poor ones. This course relies on gimmicks to defend itself, as opposed to refined, well considered design. Would not recommend.

Played later in day so rates were cheaper. Marshal was really rude but rest of staff was cool.

Great courses but no amenities for after the round.

Played 18 on a Saturday, course has been in much better shape in the past. For greens fees over $100 you’d expect pristine conditions, fairways were dry, rough spots, greens discolored and rock hard- we were stuck behind a 4some playing best ball, 6 hour round- rangers came and past about 15 times without any help even after we asked several times. Will not be coming back any time soon sadly. Much better value and conditions for the money elsewhere.

Staff and starter were beyond friendly. Course was in great condition for April and surprisingly more scenic than anticipated. Very challenging in spots, and when you add 30-40moh winds, you have your hands full. I will be back for sure.

Was a single that joined up with a 3 some. Everything was great. The greens were absolutely slick and wind 25 mph sustained but was 90 degrees so was absolutely worth it. Great challenge.

I've played at Port twice, and Starboard once, and overall Harborside is a very solid place to play golf. You get a links style course with some views of the skyline off certain holes. Best of all the course is challenging, but fair in my view. It has some wide fairways on certain holes to give you some forgiveness, but others put some strategic bunkers. Also the rough can be a little thick, but not impossible to play out of. Minus some of the true fescue spots. Finally the greens are readable, but have some slight breaks and slopes giving you a challenge along with speed.

A couple of tips with this course. I recommend playing during twilight since it can save you a good $30-40, and it can literally be 10-20 mins apart. Twilight usually starts at 2:00pm, and all fees include cart and a warmup range bucket. They have a solid practice facility too. The only negatives is the location is out there with heavy traffic off the interstate, and pace of play can be slow at times if it's busy.
