Great fall round

Amazing course, great conditions, great afternoon of golf. Staff are super attentive. It’s a little strange when all is shut down before players are off the course, but as a whole it is an amazing golf experience. Cost is high for late fall golf, but it was an awesome afternoon, and I’d pay it again.

Classic Golden Bear course

Harbor Shores is a must play if you are in the area. The price is a little steep but Golfnow makes it easy to find reasonable rates. Make sure to take in all of the views and enjoy the experience at Harbor Shores.

Ban the Eight-somes

Staff needs to control golfers.

5 hour round

Otherwise a delightful course

Some green complexes were a bit over the top.

Immaculate Conditions; Lackluster Course Design

First time playing Harbor Shores, and let me first start with the course is immaculate. One of the most well-keep courses I’ve ever played. Greens are truly insane (I’ve never in my life seen a green like #10!). Hole 7 is everything you read about…breathtaking view!

I was left wanting a lot more on the last few holes. 16-18 felt like a huge letdown of a finish after some really excellent holes 1-15. For the price, this is one that I’m glad I checked off the list, but will probably only play here again on a discounted rate.

Extremely tough!

Very hard! but well laid out course. greens where very fast this is a course for shooters or people that want scenery and don’t mind shooting 16 over as I did. But it was nice playing such a beautiful and well maintained course. I got paired with a member, his wife and son they where extremely welcoming, courteous and knowledgeable of the the course and helped me from shooting 20 plus over if you have the chance to play it, PLAY IT! Hopefully you get paired with the family I did.

This course is one of the best in the area

Former SPGA course plays with tough challenges. Beautiful layout and extremely well maintained. Amenities include a pristine driving range, separate chipping and putting greens. Golf carts are top of the line that features screen with hole layouts ranges to the hole, locations of other carts which is huge for those blind holes, usb for charging your phone and Bluetooth speakers to play some music. You will not find a nicer course!!!
