Best in Chicago

Harborside is the best golfing venue in the city, about 20-25 minutes from downtown. Everything you need for a great golfing experience!

The Cart Path is Nasty Work!!!

The cart path is in disrepair ALL around the course. For $140 I expect way more; the cart path is unacceptable. Potholes are everywhere; it felt like we booked an off road excursion along with golf. 🙄🙄🙄

The course is in good condition but the layout of Starboard is lackluster in comparison to Port. I will probably never play here again unless it’s a Hot Deal.

Great time!

Always try to get off right after a morning outing. It was the fastest round I’ve played here. Thanks for the great conditions!

Excellent Course

Very enjoyable course- fair but you still have to hit the ball accurately. Some "angry" pin placements where being above the hole was tough. But overall, its well maintained and the views of the city and surrounding area are terrific. Good staff, good options for food and drink on the course throughout the round.

Cart paths need some work

The course is in great shape. It’s close to the city and a challenging but playable course. Carta have GPS and overall just an enjoyable round. But the cart paths feel like driving on Chicago expressways with all the potholes. Please fix the cart paths!!

Disappointing and overpriced

It’s a good layout but it’s really too bad Kemper doesn’t take better care of the course. The conditions are average at best. The cart paths are in dire need of replacement. The bunkers are a joke with an inconsistent blend of fine sand/gravel/rocks. Overpriced for what it is, but gets a lot of play due to the proximity to the city. There are so many better options for less money.

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.
