1pm tee time, sunny beautiful day

Harborside is devolving back into its natural state of a landfill.

Nothing special about this place anymore.

12years snd 73 rounds later I can sadly say this is no longer my favorite golf coarse in Chicago.

Go to Lost Marsh if your playing the south side forget this place

Kemper ruined this once beautiful gem of a coarse, they need to stop bragging about “Golfweek’s” top 50 coarse rating that was once given to Harborside.
That was years ago before Kemper took over.
Go to Golfweek’s site, Harborside is not even in the top 100 public coarse list.

-tee boxes on par 3’s not resurfaced left in horrible condition from previous year. Same story every year!

-Greens still full of holes from aerating, this was not a recent aeration, just lack of attention getting the greens ready for the season. Dried up aged holes, no filler, crusty dry purple greens, just give it some water the grass will grow in. We’ve had a mild winter and a warm dry early spring, no excuses here!

-terrible gas golf carts, no GPS, acceptable at a sub $40 coarse maybe.

-worst cart paths in the city, more potholes than Michigan Ave

-scorched earth landscaping, good bye to all the prairie tall grass and natural plant life, hello weed covered rolling hills

-warm drinks at the halfway house, thanks for my $5 warm gatorade, and great idea selling canned drinks. My drink bounced out of the cup holder after 15 minutes of riding the worst cart paths in the state.

-All Nautical Decor removed from coarse, sad to see those go a few years ago.

This place still has great “bones” that’s the only saving grace, thanks Dick Nugent, but Kemper is letting your once beautiful coarse go down the drain while the price keeps going up.

what a great fun little course, priced right too!
trees play a BIG factor here,
there's really nothing to complain about here, what negatives there are, the atmosphere and convenience make up for it. parking lot, cashier, 1st and 9th all located together. good practice area near the shore with bunkers, and greens to warm up or practice. lots of views of lake michigan chicago and indiana
lots of history in this place, architecture and course have alot fun facts hidden in them
if your gonna be in chicago forawhile you should check this place out at least once.

fun, challenging, lots of difficult shots that make you enjoy playing there. staff is always great!!!
