On a Windy day at Harborside

The golf course was very fair. The rough was difficult. Greens rolled true. The wind laid a big roll in higher scores.

Always an enjoyable round at Harborside

Greens fees are pricey, but the Harborside experience is worth it.

Starboard play

I’ve played both courses at Harborside many times but, this was the first time for my playing partner to experience Starboard. After the round he said he now prefers it over Port. I think both are challenging and fun to play.

Conditions were great for November. Greens rolled well and the bunkers were maintained well.

Though it's late in the season it would've been nice to have a ranger out there to speed up a slow moving 4some. With limited sunlight, maintaining pace is important to allow everyone to get their round in.

Treeless in Chicago

The course was fun to play. I totally enjoyed my experience. The staff were helpful and friendly. I mean the whole staff was great. The course layout was amazing, the greens were fast, I went out as a single and didn’t feel rushed nor did I have to wait to tee up. This maybe my go-to course in the area.
