Starboard at Harborside International Golf Center

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.

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,

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.

This is a wide open course the challenge becomes with the sand bunkers And slopes The course is wide open as far as trees but Wind come into play .fast pace, great staff. Come Out And Play, this place is for everyone.

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

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.

First time I’ve played here where we didn’t hav cart paths only.

What a difference! I only wish they had more evening hot deal times to help with the finances.

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.

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.

Breakfast was good. Course was in good condition. Staff friendly and helpful. If you can go up toward greens to take a look at where you need to go like hole number two. Greens get trickier on back nine. Most holes have wide fairways. Lots of bunkers. Got 20 to 30 mile winds. Need to pay attention to landing spots to attack greens.

Amazing course! The staff could not have been more pleasant. From the GM to the pro - to the ladies in the pro shop and the starters. A great experience !

Golf is in trouble! We golfers, who love the game, have to do everything we can to protect great assets like harborside. The weather, the disinterest from the millennials etc are a toxic mix threatening the economic viability of Chicago golf (how long will the city absorb the losses). To the courses I say, think out of the box! Promote free ride alongs (bring the wife, grandma or kids out with you for a fun 9 after 5). Anything to get people out. Wine and 9 and more. Start a nonprofit course maintenance volunteer program. Think! We are in deep trouble.

Harborside has handled all the rain we've been getting very well. I dont recall seeing any soggy cart tracks, as i would at courses that doesn’t have good drainage. Alot todo with this being a links course & the wind constantly airing everything out??? Anyways my only 2 gripes, would be “next tee” signs at cross-paths. A few times i had to guess where to turn, and the gps was wrong more than not. Had to rely on my rangefinder.
