Could be great

It has a challenging layout, hit the ball in the fairway or suffer. Course was beat up, practice facility was beat up, tee boxes were decent. Definitely not worth the money. Rough is just that, beat down by cart traffic. This is a $70 a round course, at best. Me personally pay a lot less for way better course conditions. I play primarily in NWI, and can play 2 rounds at very well kept courses for what I payed here. Chicago at its finest, 9% amusement tax, is also a huge downside. Save your money, there are much nicer places to play within 20 minutes of there

Good facility fallen into disrepair

Cart paths had giant pot holes, and so did the fairways, evident that money is no longer being put into course maintenance. Charging premium golf fees because of location. Used to be a premier course but no longer. Great layout, needs alot of work. Not worth the money or aggravation of getting there. Stay Away

Terrible pace of play

No rangers on the course keeping things moving. On pace for a 6hr round. Left at the 15th hole. Never again.

Amazing practice area; challenging course

Love the free practice balls before a round of golf. Course was in great shape but they’ve got to do something about the cart path. Pot holes everywhere like the streets of Chicago in spring time.

City Views

Harborside is a great course that is close to downtown Chicago. It is a challenging layout that is well maintained. We got a great deal through Golfnow and paid about half price. Standard price of a round is around $100. If it wasn't so expensive, I would play the course much more because it is a real pleasure.

Enjoying Harborside More

I've come around to enjoying my rounds at Harborside - I'm not sure if the course is more fair or I have improved, but the last few times I've played Port it has been a fun and challenging round.

Cart Paths Are Trash

I love this course but rarely play here in summer due to the $120 green fee combined with the terrible conditions of the cart paths. Golfers have been complaining for years and the conditions of the cart path really take away from the overall experience at this great course. It’s a shame that the owners only seem care about profit.
