Needs Updating. Overpriced

Nice course but cartpaths were full of potholes on all 18 holes of the Starboard. Could not even drive on them on some holes. GPS system in carts frequently had incorrect yardage and kept freezing on both carts in our foursome. They need to either lower the price or repair the paths and GPS.

Beautiful but the wind can be a factor

You won’t be disappointed at this course. Both the Port and Starboard are great courses. Views of downtown skyline, links golf. Risk Reward and the wind can be wicked at times.

Staff

I can’t say enough about Kevin . He helped me on the phone and also when l got there.With Coronavirus l needed to golf alone cause l had quadruple bypass Kevin got it done along with starter George who meet me by golf carts and took me to 1st tee. It’s worth traveling a little further to get service like this. I highly recommend going to see the staff and play 2 great courses and have a fantastic time....

Thanks,

Matt Babich

Harborside International Closed by Governor for breaking Rules

This course was closed for the day of play because they broke the rules the Governor of Illinois set for golf courses, including multiple people per cart and 4somes instead of 2somes. I was not able to play and can't get my booking fees refunded because GolfNow's customer service 800# is 3 hours long according to the elevator music person. GolfNow, please process my refund.

Great layout whether you play Starboard or Port Course

Every time l play there the staff whether inside or outside are always so helpful. Special great job goes out to Terry O’Neil who went out of his way to help me.

Thanks for a great round of golf

Feels like your in another part of the world

First time playing and if the funds are there it won't be my last. Layout and conditions were superb. Ran into trouble with an outing on 17 but other than that it was an awesome experience.

Great Course wish it was closer

Overall we had a great time. I thought the greens ran very slow for this course. I noticed that the fairway bunkers had no sand. I'm pretty this had to do with all the rain we've been getting. At the turn we got some Sheboygan brats, for $5, what a great deal and there were very good. Wheather was perfect with some wind on the 2nd nine but the wind was playing in our favor on the last 4 holes which made for a good finish.

Starboard Ho!

Challenging layout, especially in the wind. (The wind is always a bigger obstacle when you are playing into it than a help when you are playing with it. But I've known that about golf for many years!) A links style layout with a good variety of hole designs. Excellent shape, although I wish people would do a better job of fixing their ball marks. Greens were nice and rolled true.
