Port at Harborside International Golf Center

Fairways, greens and layout are all amazing. Waste bunkers, fescue rough and cart paths are shot. Everything bounced out of my cart including rangefinder. Fescue completely overgrown and out of control. Just play it all as a red hazard I guess. Good balls on the range and practice area is top notch!

Like many other reviewers, it’s worth repeating that the cart paths need to be repaved. They are brutal. But that’s the only shortcoming of Harborside IMO. The course is beautiful and very well-maintained. Everything from the tee boxes and fairways to the sand traps and greens is pristine. The course is scenic and challenging. What more could you want?!?! It's links style with zero trees and lots of elevation changes, which means the wind is constantly changing directions and can be very strong. This wind dynamic is the biggest challenge, IMO. One minute you can hit a wind-aided 9-iron 190 yards, while the next a stiff wind will hold it to 90 yards. On a windy day, it definitely requires thought and strategy, which makes it a standout among most Chicagoland courses.

Many holes were cart path only, which is understandable at this time of the year, but the cart paths were in horrendous condition particularly near to the tee boxes. It is the middle of April & there has been more than enough suitable weather to fix them. They could not be driven on without spilling drinks & losing stuff out of the cart.

Come on guys $110 a round, you could do better.

Love this course and in good shape for Fenruary!!

When prepping for the season I hope they work on sand levels, manicure bunkers and lips, maintain tee boxes and have plans to resurface cart paths.

A great asset for the southside and Chicago metro in general!!

Harborside used to be a really great destination. Course condition has steadily declined over the last 15 to 20 years. It’s time to call this place what it is. Harborside has now hit dog track status. Greens and paths beat up badly. Don’t get me wrong they’re still a place for such courses in golf. The problem is not for the money they charge or the lack of care for the customers. Yesterday we booked a foursome on GolfNow. It was stated that it was with carts on the app. we show up for our round and not only are they not letting carts out but they don’t have enough pull carts. They tell us that it’s because they’re trying to keep the paths nice. 😂 What a joke. The paths are beat to crap already . Truth be told they just didn’t want to pull carts out but tried to hide behind being responsible. This place needs to change their mindset about how to deal with customers and needs to put some money into upkeep.

Loved the course layout and it was much fun to playing following ups and downs in the course. Course well managed considering it was mid-November. Willing to play more next year!

Always love to play Harborside. Place was in great shape, especially in November!

I thought course was in excellent shape for November. Drier than other courses in area for this time of year. Pace of play was atrocious. Final four holes took too long. Marshalls could have been used to speed things up. I did not see one the whole time I was there. I will play again next season.

Really fun course. Condition was quite good for a muni. Layout is awesome. People very friendly. Great day.

Location is great and facility are fine, fairway and green conditions are well match the price, the port course is long with 6500 is challenging with so many bunkers and the rough are really rough! Lots of fun playing such course especially the last three holes view are gorgeous

But have to say something are quite annoying. First the rental club charge is 75 dollar for a st of call away and hot deal of the day is 54 or lower. Second the cart road is quite broken and there are no signs indicating in and out from the fairway and you could be locked somewhere close to green. The club has locker room and one shower, and the manager said you can ask pro shop for locker key but the pro shop staff always said they can’t give you locker key

Monday afternoon golf at Harborside was a great experience. Good pace of play and maintenance from weekend usage a has been done. The only thing I can comment on was that most of the rough was pretty gnarly, likely because early morning rain kept mowing to minimum
