Harbor Shores

This course is impeccable! The fairways were as nice as most greens i putt on at most golf courses! The undulations made 1-2 putts difficult but gave an appreciation for how the pros can play sub-par golf.

Harbor Shores is an amazing track at the end of the sad little town of Benton Harbor. Hard to believe someone imaged this course for this place. Having said that, it is one of the best courses I've ever played, and I play around the world. Hi-tech golf cars, tees and range balls included...can't beat it. Undulating grees to say the least. One recommendation...flatten the 10th green a bit. The 15 foot elevation change is unique, but over the top for the serious golfer. I parred it...but only because I was on the lower deck where the flag happened to be!

This course is very challenging. I have played this course a number of times and find it difficult, yet love playing here.

Beautiful views and great layout. would recommend just to enjoy the layout

Most convoluted layout I have ever played. Cannot be walked as the distances between many tees and greens was beyond those found at even many modern resort courses. Some attractive holes but the very large bunkers slow play and the lack of a ranger was a big oversight as intolerably slow play drained any enjoyment out of the day. Unlikely to return at any price as there are so many playable and reasonably priced courses in southwest lower Michigan

Layout is what would be expected for a Jack Nicklaus course. Undulations on the greens border on ridiculous but well maintained.

The fairways, greens and tees are in perfect playing condition. The bunkering adds to the views, they are deep, large and abundant. The greens are huge and undulating to the extreme. When lucky enough to hold one, good luck from there! Now, about the views...I expected Lake Michigan to be the focal point. I actually saw it once. You cross several busy roads over the 18 holes and traffic noises and construction noises are not what I expect to encounter on a course of this caliper. There are views of delapadated factories, industry, and the surrounding area/neighborhood is getto. I thought HS would compare to Bay Harbor GC near Petosky, but it fell way short. I think it's overpriced, but if using your Golfnow Rewards this may be a good choice, just don't expect pure golf serenity.

Much too difficult for my game. Everywhere I look on this course there is either water, swamps, sand traps, or severely sloped greens. Harbor Shores has certainly earned their 137 slope rating from the Gray tees. That said, it is a beautiful course and, if it gives back decent funds to the city of Benton Harbor, I thank Jack Nicklaus for designing it. If you are playing well, this is a course to be enjoyed.

THe starter told us...... don't worry about your score, enjoy the course. and we did.

The golf experience at Harbor Shores was spectacular! The staff were very helpful right from the bag drop off through the end of the round. Practice tee is magnificent, and that is just the start of a beautiful location and well manicured golf course. Hole # 7 is the signature hole in my opinion. This is a challenging golf course with a number of special holes and great customer service. I highly recommend the experience.

Drove 2 hours to this place and shelled out 150 bux for slow bumpy greens

By far the nicest golf course I have played in southwest Michigan. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and was glad to see you. It was an experience I plan to enjoy again soon.
Thank you!

Challenging course with many forced carries over wetlands, traps , and water. When you play this course, you gain a great deal of respect for all the senior PGA golfers who break par on this course. It has large undulating greens and you will not get around this course without three putting or worse if you put your approach shot on the wrong tier of the greens. We had a great time.

Friom the moment we arrived they could not do enough for us. Friendly and courteous staff . . . and Rodney, the starter, defined well the task before us laying out each hole, with tips on what to avoid, and how they might be played. OMy partner and I best the other teams in our group, so they have already made plans to return for a rematch.

this was my first michigan golf experience and what a start it was , we where treated like a member from moment the bag attendent loaded our clubs on our cart , after some sound advise from the starter on which tees to play it was on to one of the best manicured courses that i have been on . greens where fast and smooth , the bunkers were deep and the wind was blowing . bring a camera and get some shots of lake michigan from the 7th green or back tees on #8

Absolutely in my top 5 courses i've ever played. We were able to get a tremendous rate through golf now.com and would play this course ever day for the rest of the year if given the chance.We showed up and were treated like royalty from all staff involved and it really has me talking about this course to friends and family. I will be back soon for sure as long as i get a good rate again as i'm not a wealthy individual but i sure felt like it that day.

The course is great, the staff is wonderful. I had one of the best days here. Don't be fooled into thinking the yardage isn't that long, it's all about the approach shot, and the green. Not the type of greens you want to hit with a long iron.

I would recommend this course for anyone who truly loves the game of golf. Very attentive staff and they definitely go the extra mile for you. Course is always in pristine shape.

Many beach sand bunkers. You need to be strategic in your play! Many beautiful holes!

Excellent overall facility but it took a looong time to complete 18 holes. We got bumped from our tee time for some "first name basis locals" and were told they played fast, nope. We watched them go from hazard to hazard, and beer cart to beer cart. Having grown up playing Point of Woods, another outstanding facility in the area I expected more from Harbor Shores. I sent 2 different emails to the staff and received no response, may/may not go back to play again!
