Beautiful

Beautiful course. Amazing staff. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive, but it is worth it to treat yourself once in a while. That’s all you need to know.

Great track

Beautiful course, lots of fun from the white tees at just under 6k. Tremendous practice facility. Everyone was really nice. I love coming here.

Ok course, just way overpriced

This would be a solid course for $75... instead, they charge double that to ride 18 holes. It's ok, but nowhere near the caliber of course you can play for similar prices, even in Chicago. The cart paths and facilities are woefully neglected and are getting worse every year. I'm not sure what they spend the outrageous fees on since the course is only in fair condition and there seem to be no improvements ever. The layout is good and they do have a nice range, but the location is about the only thing it has going for it and everything is trending in the wrong direction.

Great course layout but a few things.

The wind yesterday was almost making this course unplayable. 40 mph. I had no idea how to gauge the distance. The cart paths need to be redone. My phone his a pot hole and fell out of the cart and I ran it over. The layout of this course is terrific. For the money 100 during the day is fair but not 137.00 . Also, should drop to 80 after 1 then next drop after 4 to 60.

First Tee Time- Midweek

Harbourside is one of my favorite golf venues in Chicago.

This time was very pleasant as we had the first tee time on a Thursday and breezed through our round. The mid week pricing made the round’s value even better. Staff was great.

Only downside was no beverage cart to be seen on such a hot day.

Definitely not what I expected for the money they charge

Layout is nothing special. Car paths are in horrible conditions and some sections are just gravel. Wind blows super hard as there are no tall trees. To get there you have to go through some dangerous neighborhoods, the entrance to the course feels as if I'm in a third world country. Will never be back.

Harborside Captive Audiemce

I’ve been a 20 year plus patron of Harborside The courses are great layouts but year after year Harborside has raised the cost of Play to the Point that I’m reconsidering it as my GoTo option. I did NOT join the Anchor Club for the First time in about ten years Due to the $500 cost and minimal discounts offered for play.

The Cart Paths are Absolutely Horrendous and have been for over Five Years. This has been discussed with past and present management. They recently charged $120 for April Weekend Play!!! Fix It!
