Great layout
Really fun course. Condition was quite good for a muni. Layout is awesome. People very friendly. Great day.
Nice course but bit frustrating experience
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
Weekday bliss
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
Fun course. Greens were a bit slow.
We had a very slow 3 some ahead of the two of us..
We finally got past them at 9 when they stopped for food.
I enjoyed the slope of the course.
Fun round of golf.
Course needs maintenance
The course is still a great layout and is challenging. However the condition of the course was disappointing. Old unrepaired divots on the green. The cart paths were so bad, we had to drive to the side of them most of the time. Even the range which has always been so great, was so chewed up it was hard to find a place to hit the ball from.
It’s still a recommendation. Not busy the day we played, so the pace of play was really good.
Not as well kept as in the past
the course is not in as good of shape as when I played there in the past.
YIKES
Harborside used to be a great track. The cart paths hear are absolutely atrocious. Their own staff (cart girl) even mentioned how bad the paths were when we saw her on the course. The paths make Chicago potholes look good in comparison and that’s saying something.
The tee boxes are also a joke, they haven’t been cut in weeks. For a course charging $125 a round, this is unacceptable. Until the conditions on the course and cart paths improve I won’t be back.
The fairways, greens and t boxes were all in nice conditions. The course is not very forgiving, the rough could be shorter with a little more capability of finding your ball if your 2 ft off the fairway.
Save Your Money and Go Elsewhere!
Harborside gets away with charging some of the highest rates in the area for the location. (25-40 mintues from the city, depending on traffic). Overall, the course itself is a good challenge. Have to stay in the fairway on a lot of holes, otherwise the rough is going to swallow your ball. My rating is a result of a few things NOT related to the greens or fairways itself. First, the rangers (non-existent) do a bad job enforcing pace of play. Since it is close to the city and a lot of novices play (i am one of them), people look for their ball forever and really slow down pace. When I played, i watched a two-some finish a hole while the other two players were still 150 yards out - can't happen on a busy saturday morning. Second, the goose poop on 15/16/17/18 and particularly the greens is UNACCEPTABLE. Finally, the cart paths are the worst I have ever seen on any course in my entire life. Add those things up, an $150 for 18 is insane, while you can go down the road to a few other courses and have a better experience.
Disappointed in Quality
Played the Port course at Harborside yesterday. Very disappointed in the overall course quality. The rough is ridiculously long. If I hit a drive that runs slightly through the fairway into the rough, I shouldn't lose that ball because I can't find it. There is no first cut at all. Cart paths are a disaster - they're worse than Chicago roads. And the signage around the course is awful. We pulled up to a tee box to find a foursome that thought they were on the 3rd tee, but it was the 6th. We also went to the wrong tee box a couple times due to lack of signage. There are barely any rakes around the bunkers. I was in a greenside bunker with zero rakes anywhere. Not to mention the sand is pretty rough. The greens were in decent shape and fair.
Used to be a great course
This used to be a great course. Unfortunately, I feel Harborside management has let it go on multiple levels. I know there has been a lot of rain lately, but the 1st cut of rough is rediculously long. Other courses are not like this. If you are not in the fairway, you literally can't find your ball 50% of the time. We spent so much time just looking for balls, then trying to hit them out. I'm talking balls that were 1 or 2 ft from the fairway. Not a fun round of golf. The cart paths are literally the worst I have ever seen at ANY course. Be prepared to hit large potholes in gravel on every hole. And the clubhouse looks dated as well. I don't understand why a course that charges sometimes over $100 can't get this right. This was not always the case here. I hope they get it together, it's not worth anywhere near what they charge. Won't be going back any time soon.
