About Harborside International Golf Center - Starboard Course

Harborside International Golf Center's Starboard Course is the companion links layout to the celebrated Port Course, sharing the same spectacular Lake Calumet setting on Chicago's Far South Side. Also designed by Dick Nugent and opened alongside the Port Course in 1995, the Starboard Course offers a slightly different character — subtly more forgiving in places but no less demanding in its strategic requirements. Wide open fairways, strategic waste bunkers, and the same dramatic Chicago skyline backdrop make the Starboard a worthy complement to its more famous sibling. Many visiting golfers play both courses in a single day, making Harborside a premier 36-hole golf destination. The Starboard Course earns its own strong reviews as one of Illinois's top public layouts.

History

Harborside International Golf Center's Starboard Course opened in 1995 alongside the Port Course, both designed by Dick Nugent on former industrial land along Lake Calumet. While the Port Course receives the lion's share of national attention, the Starboard has developed its own dedicated following among golfers who appreciate its subtly different character and the flexibility of having two nationally caliber courses at a single Chicago public facility. Together, the two courses have made Harborside one of the most significant public golf developments in Chicago's history.

Golfers who want to complete the Harborside experience by playing both courses, or who found Port Course times unavailable and want an equally excellent alternative on the same property.
