Where

Harborside Golf Center

Harborside has two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Dick Nugent in the links tradition of treeless, windswept English, Scottish, and Irish seaside courses, which carry golfers back to where the game began.

Just 16 minutes south of downtown, Harborside offers stunning views of the city skyline and the Port of Chicago amid 458 isolated acres of sculpted fairways, manicured greens, tufted mounds, and tangled roughs.

Country-club amenities include personalized golf services from the moment you arrive, deluxe locker rooms, golf carts, golf shop, halfway house, and on-course beverage carts. A top-rated 57-acre practice facility with grass tee driving range with chipping and pitching greens, roughs, and bunkers. A magnificent 24,000 square-foot Prairie Style clubhouse offers food by Chicago restaurateur, Phil Stefani, and holds up to 300 people for meetings and banquets.
