Port at Harborside International Golf Center

Wow !!: pace of play was everything less than 4 hrs on the port side course fairways great shape .on several greens core aeration was in effect. The views were great Chicago skyscrapers to the north lake Calumet to the south as well as sag channel. To the east. Perfect Chicago weather which is hot humid windy and potential down pour at anytime.

Overall course condition was average, but expected more from a course in the $100+ Price range (I.e. Pick up grass clippings and geese feeces from greens - couldn't put on 16th green). A couple of scenic holes are not enough to recommend this course.

The course is in perfect shape and absolutely gorgeous. Both Harborside's courses, Port and Starboard, are equally challenging and pristine. By the slimmest of margins, I prefer Starboard, but you can not go wrong with either course. It is on the more expensive side by golfnow.com standards, but well worth it. Treat yourself and pay the extra money….it will not disappoint you.

I was told about this course to add to my 'play golf in every state' menu. I is an awesome addition to my list! It is a little out of the way but that is quickly overcome by how beautiful this place is. The course was in excellent shape and the day was beautiful. It was well worth the money!

The course is in great shape. Definitely one of the best in the Chicagoland area.

I want to love this course so much, but the Port Authority and Kemper make it so hard.
1) just cut the grass one time a year. The course is challenging enough, but you would quicken the pace of play by an hour, if everyone didn't spend hours looking for their ball in the long stuff. You cut it on 10/18 Starboard, and its findable and playable.
2) Cost. $105 for a weekend morning tee time is getting out of control. Cantigny is only $95, and they host state amateurs.
3) please get rid of the geese on 18, they are tearing up the course.

I played the Port course because there was an outing on the other one.
The course was backed up from the beginning.
What made matters worse was that carts were restricted to cart path only.
I quit after nine, happy to give up after over 2 and 1/2 hours of drudgery.

Solid course in very good condition, the back nine of the Starboard course is very sandy, with far more challenging landings than the front nine.

Harborside is very conveniently located and is a 20 minute drive from downtown Chicago. At $110 a round, you shouldn't expect too many hacks and inexperienced golfers. More importantly, you expect the pace of play to go by pretty quickly. The thing I hate the most is waiting on EVERY tee shot and many other shots. This includes waiting on every par 3 - sometimes even catching up to the group ahead on the tee.

Very challenging and scenic !! Don't expect to find such an excellent course in the city, on an Expressway, built on a garbage dump BUT there it is.

Great shape, long fescue, decent greens and windy. Tougher course than advertised.

Harborside International is a great layout. Advanced players will enjoy the challenge. Be sure to select tee to match skill set.

Greens were not in good shape, but the rest of the course was in fine shape. Growing the fescue high. A lot of lost balls...

Great course, wish there were a few more trees to break up the holes, but overall fun round

This is a nice complex, I along with my playing partners expect a bit nicer conditions, the greens were pretty rough and severly bumpy and my oh my slow.. I am sure the rain the previous day might have caused them to not mow.. The course is very nice looking and difficult even on a day with out a lot of wind.. Would like to play it again under better conditions.

...but where was a beverage cart? 80 degrees and not seen past the 2nd hole.

From the moment you arrive, you feel like it is going to be an amazing day. Everything is so well kept, you almost forget you are playing on an old garbage dump!

Thank you golfnow,I would not be able to play such an amazing course as Harborside without the discount golfnow offers.just an amazing course,especially with the wind but wow,what an experience.thank you.

Just played yesterday, and while mother nature definitely came through with a gorgeous day, the course is arguably in 'Peek Shape'!! With a little cooler weather, the ground has firmed up, the deep rough has been cut back, and the greens....... running super true, and at high rates of speed!! Definitely some of the best putting surfaces available to the public.

For a fall weekday rate of $27 with cart and range balls, I don't think anything is even close to being a better value. Greens were smooth as glass, great to putt on.
