I don’t know if the hot weather we’ve had had something to do with it, but the course condition wasn’t what I was used to

Good value and nice layout

Played Starboard course, very good layout especially the par 3s and 5s. Greens and fairways in good shape, but some of the fairway waste areas were only hard dirt with stones. Cart paths were in terrible shape with potholes.

Played at 10am on weekday and finished in 4 hours, even though we were waiting on every hole.

Harborside!

My son and I played this course and we enjoyed the course lay out (overseeing the sky line of Chicago), the pace of play was great and found the course to be challenging (but not overbearing).

Harborside

Great day and greens are fast! Course is a good challenging experience. No water on the course and cart paths could use maintenance. Some sand traps needed maintenance. Otherwise it is good shape.

Pace of Play Ruined Good Course

Groups of slow players who were playing multiple balls and even waiting for group in front of them to get to the greens on par 5s to start. At the 4 hour mark we played 13 holes so I ended my round. No marshall and the starter just sent people off as they showed up. First time having this experience at this course.

Nice course

If you're visiting Chicago and staying in the city (downtown) this is THE PLACE to go to. Easy on/off the interstate and amazing views. Sure, it can be a little pricey, but it's a good value and classy place.

Joe Blow

Overpriced course for the conditions. Cart path had Potholes filled with water all over the course. Worst cart paths I have ever been on. Weeds growing out of the waste bunkers. I only played here because I had a discounted tee time. i would never pay full price around $125 for this course.
