Starboard at Harborside International Golf Center

Love this course, in decent condition for this time of year, only gripe was pace of play, got stuck behind a junior tournament who were a little slow. All in all and enjoyable round, wish it was $20 cheaper.

Love playing here. It’s always in great shape, staff is friendly, and the challenge is always a great reminder of what lovely game this is!

I had really high hopes for Harborside Starboard. It was a special treat given the price. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were just OK in terms of maintenance. There is no flowers/landscaping. The cart paths were a brutal mess of broken asphalt and stones. The hole designs were challenging and the cart GPS worked good.I know we were there to golf but for the price I expected a more classy atmosphere. It was waaaay overpriced for a round on a garbage dump on Lake Calumet.

Beware: we golfed with two single riders. In the middle of the first hole an employee chased the singles and said “You two have to pair up. You each paid for half a cart. If you want to ride alone, you have to go back and pay an additional $25”Nowhere on the reservation or anything at the check in process does it state that you pay for 1/2 a cart when it says “cart included”.

Course was in good condition- greens were a bit slow. Always a challenging course especially with some wind. But holy cow worst cart path I have ever seen. My back still hurts from it.

Also starter was awesome.

For a course with such great 2 courses, they sure do a lousy job maintaining it. Cart paths are dangerously awful, weeds in the bunkers, etc

Shame. This is a layout worthy of the pga

The upkeep is like a bad muni

I should have read the most recent reviews before booking this round. The course was in horrendous shape and such a disappointment. I'm not sure if management just let things go, but I couldn't believe how bad it was compared to the last time I played. The cart paths are AWFUL and borderline dangerous with potholes and loose asphalt. Sand traps have big rock pebbles in there that will scratch your wedges. The GPS on the carts lock you out while ON the cart path (clearly not calibrated correctly). Some of the other sand features had massive large weeds in them. The tee boxes had grass that looked sickly and patches of weeds. Such a shame to see a once-great course fall into this condition. Absolutely not worth over $100 for this round.

Nice experience all the way around. Very nice and helpful staff gave me great directions on navigating the property as it’s pretty spread out. Ranger was cool. Love the links style. Great conditions. Green speeds were fair. Course could be really hard if wind is blowing the wrong way.

i’ve been playing this course for over 20 years. The overall condition of the course is not worth the price point anymore. The bunkers are not great. The greens are slow. More likely than not the GPS systems on the cart are off by 10 to 15 yards because the pin placements are in the wrong location. The cart paths are absolutely atrocious. The practice facility could be first rate but right now they are actually small pebbles in the practice bunker. You will mess up your clubs by hitting balls out of it. The pro shop, however, is night and day from what it used to be. It is now well stocked with a lot of really nice items.

The people at the club or very friendly, but there needs to be an investment put into this facility. It is not top-notch, and it does not deserve to be a top public facility in Illinois anymore.

Not good and getting worse than Chicago city streets. Geese have always been and issue on greens especially 18 on both courses.

I think it’s obvious they know the problem exists!

Not sure I will become an Anchor Club member again for any amount.

This was a nice course that was in very good condition. The course was a bit wet but I think that’s standard because it’s next to the lake. The course design was pretty good, the holes along the lake are what sell it though. The rest of the holes not along the lake are still nice enough but not anything novel or surprising. Overall this was an enjoyable round but the value just doesn’t add up, it shouldn’t cost $80 to $120+ to play a round on this course (if you can be conservative and hit the ball straight, it minimizes the difficulty quickly). I would recommend the course but I wouldn’t spend the money unless I got some form of discount.
