| Harborside International Golf Course Address: 11001 S Doty Rd., Chicago, IL Telephone: 312-782-7837 Website: Harborsidegolf.com Slope 136, 137 par 72 both courses 7200 yards each Green Fee: If you have to ask, you cant afford. If you love golf, then you have to play both of these courses. They are awesome, and hard as hell. Wind, Bunkers, Fescue, Water, OB. I once played with a guy that shot a 78 on the starboard course. He made it look so easy. But with bunkers and fescue guarding every fairway, Bunkers, fescue, and water guarding every green. You have to be straight to score on either course. Then it is always windy at Harborside. This is a links styled course, and is NOT very forgiving. The course, however, is beautiful. The holes are well designed and the course is set up and managed beautifully. The practice area is tremendous. There are several spectacular holes, and I could write a book trying to describe some of them to you. My advice for Harborside would be to check out the website by clicking the link above. My favorite hole out of the 36 is probably a par three, I don't remember the course that it is on, but it is about a 230 yard shot from the tips. Water runs along the entire right side, and the hole is played like a dogleg. Thats right, a dogleg on a par 3. Sand and fescue are beneath the hole and fescue is atop the hole. Then the wind is usually in your face on this shot. My advice is to layup, then chip on. Everything about Harborside is first class. If you can afford it, make sure you play there.
