Way Overpriced, Needs better range and cart paths.

The course itself, I’m a big fan when it’s in decent shape. However, if you pay anything over $80, you’re not getting any value. This course needs to charge $60-80 and then you’d have value. Cart paths are horrible and I’m shocked that no repairs to the paths have been made in the last few years. The range grass is awful, not worth ever buying a bucket. The practice greens are nice though.

Major Disappointment

Early morning tee time should not result in a five hour round. Waited on every shot, two groups ahead of us on the tenth tee. After every hole the cart warned us we were behind pace and would be asked to jump ahead by a marshal, but no marshal was ever seen to address the slow play ahead of us. Cart paths should have been replaced five years ago and are borderline undriveable. Toilet at the half way house was backed up. Could not stand on any tee box without my feet resting in old divots. Beverage cart didn't arrive until after 11 am.

Can not adequately express my anger at the low quality of the experience given the price. Likely my last round at Harborside.

Great design, but higher handicaps should approach with caution

Good course design. Hit it where you're supposed to and the course plays fairly easily. Well conditioned fairways allow for accurate approach shots. Rough is higher than normal, so hit it in the rough and balls are difficult to find (which can impact pace of play) and tough to hit straight shots out of without wrists of steel. Sand is harder/wetter and, therefore, more difficult than most. Greens are very slow, but in good shape and very consistent. Staff is great.

Unwelcome by starter

He asked us personal questions and then he would drive by asking us if we were holding up play. Anne we were the first players on the course.

Too expensive for the experience

I’m not a pro or anything so I don’t expect to play well when I golf, but if I’m paying over $265 for two people then I’d at least expect some sort of good experience. Way too packed. We were waiting to play on every hole and the people behind us were blaring techno music so by the time we got to tee off we were listening to these drunk guys’ speakers the whole time. Last hole was covered in goose poop. Also don’t wait until the day before to tell people the clubhouse is closed. That’s bad business. If you require a 24 hour cancellation then you can’t be sending out alerts within 24 hours that the golfers can’t use the amenities they’re expecting to use.

Course has a few sand traps

Good layout, back 9 on the Port was more challenging and enjoyable than front. 18 is a great finishing hole, trouble everywhere.
