Port at Harborside International Golf Center

The course was in very good shape for this time of year. The greens were a little inconsistent in terms of speed but were rolling pretty even. Front desk staff and starter were very friendly and welcoming.

had 930am tee time, arrived at the course at 9am and they said we could not tee off til 10am. we all paid $5 for range balls and there were 10 balls in the bucket. staff not nice at all, credit card machine at the food stand/bar was out. poor experience all around.

Course in great shape, I only wish the fairways were drier. Overall love Harborside!

Showed up early and found the range under repair until 10 minutes before my tee time which was disappointing but not that big of a deal. Asked starter if I could get off early since they weren’t particularly busy. He immediately got me off an hour early which was great. Played 18 as a single in 2:20 minutes playing through only one foursome. Granted that’s unusual but their quickly accommodating moving my time up combined with all the other nice aspects like the course being in great shape, beverage carts, a nice clubhouse, etc makes it still the premier public links in Chicago.

Greens are looking real good for early season. Like how they grew in the surrounding OB. Nice pace if play. Miss the old pros. Didn’t like not having the range balls included anymore during the week.

I enjoyed my round. Greens were good, bunkers weee in great shape. Rough was solid. One issue is when the cart, and scorecard give you yardages that are 15 yards apart on a par 3. Some areas have way to many places to lose balls, like there shouldn’t be thick brush 1 foot from the cart path. Get rid of some of the areas that swallow up balls, because they aren’t in play for good golfers, and only hurt newer golfers like me, who hit errant iron and wedge shots. However, I’d recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenging but fair test of golf

Loved this course, hit it straight or you’re in extreme trouble or be prepared to take a drop!
