Need Improvement

This is not the first time I played at this course. Few years ago I visited this course few times and I think the course was beautiful consider the distance from Chicago downtown. This time the whole place is just like a construction site. The sand bunker is dry with no sand but only mud, a few hole(s) is fill with construction equipment and the smell is terrible. They should have closed before the maintenance finish or at least inform the visitors about the maintenance issue. Totally disappointed

Still Has Potential

Love this course and in good shape for Fenruary!!

When prepping for the season I hope they work on sand levels, manicure bunkers and lips, maintain tee boxes and have plans to resurface cart paths.

A great asset for the southside and Chicago metro in general!!

Poor management

Harborside used to be a really great destination. Course condition has steadily declined over the last 15 to 20 years. It’s time to call this place what it is. Harborside has now hit dog track status. Greens and paths beat up badly. Don’t get me wrong they’re still a place for such courses in golf. The problem is not for the money they charge or the lack of care for the customers. Yesterday we booked a foursome on GolfNow. It was stated that it was with carts on the app. we show up for our round and not only are they not letting carts out but they don’t have enough pull carts. They tell us that it’s because they’re trying to keep the paths nice. 😂 What a joke. The paths are beat to crap already . Truth be told they just didn’t want to pull carts out but tried to hide behind being responsible. This place needs to change their mindset about how to deal with customers and needs to put some money into upkeep.

Fantastic course

Loved the course layout and it was much fun to playing following ups and downs in the course. Course well managed considering it was mid-November. Willing to play more next year!

Excellent course/Slow pace of play

I thought course was in excellent shape for November. Drier than other courses in area for this time of year. Pace of play was atrocious. Final four holes took too long. Marshalls could have been used to speed things up. I did not see one the whole time I was there. I will play again next season.

Nice course but bit frustrating experience

Location is great and facility are fine, fairway and green conditions are well match the price, the port course is long with 6500 is challenging with so many bunkers and the rough are really rough! Lots of fun playing such course especially the last three holes view are gorgeous
But have to say something are quite annoying. First the rental club charge is 75 dollar for a st of call away and hot deal of the day is 54 or lower. Second the cart road is quite broken and there are no signs indicating in and out from the fairway and you could be locked somewhere close to green. The club has locker room and one shower, and the manager said you can ask pro shop for locker key but the pro shop staff always said they can’t give you locker key

Weekday bliss

Monday afternoon golf at Harborside was a great experience. Good pace of play and maintenance from weekend usage a has been done. The only thing I can comment on was that most of the rough was pretty gnarly, likely because early morning rain kept mowing to minimum

Fun course. Greens were a bit slow.
We had a very slow 3 some ahead of the two of us..
We finally got past them at 9 when they stopped for food.
I enjoyed the slope of the course.
Fun round of golf.

Course needs maintenance

The course is still a great layout and is challenging. However the condition of the course was disappointing. Old unrepaired divots on the green. The cart paths were so bad, we had to drive to the side of them most of the time. Even the range which has always been so great, was so chewed up it was hard to find a place to hit the ball from.

It’s still a recommendation. Not busy the day we played, so the pace of play was really good.
