Outstanding course!!! Well maintained and beatiful views that will take your breath away. Everyone is friendly and always willing to put the extra touch of ser vice to your experience! Book your tee time now and enjoy! Also grab a few extra sleeves of balls youll need them.

This is a spectacular golf course! 3 gorgeous holes on the water, many challenging holes where you have to be intelligent about where you are placing your shots or you will go through balls very quickly. Driving range and short game area are included in your green fees and the most deluxe golf carts I have ever seen.The downsidea were the fairways were soaked at spots, so were difficult to hit from. Its not inexpensive, especially for St. Joe, MI.

I have played here twice and think this course deserves more publicity in this state. The course is an absolute adventure with perhaps one of the best holes in the state. #7 has every range emotions in it, fear, joy, elation, anger. The greens are in pristine condition and each hole is unique in its layout. The greens can be quite the adventure but it makes for a fun round that you cant normally get at your local course. The range and short game area area also top notch. The course is also a steal for the price, to play where the pros play and then have a hole with views of Lake Michigan!

Really nice course and it was in phenomenal shape when we played it a few weeks ago. Worth every penny for what we paid!

Beautiful facility and great staff. Slow play by a foursome of young hoodlums even after warning by Ranger forced us and two other groups to end play after 15 holes and 5 hours of play. Sad. Hire a ranger that has some authority.

Great course but still charged $85 with greens just being punched. Worth all of $85 with good greens

For non-members, the pro shop needs to tell them the fairways were aerated and that the bunker sand is hard. For $150, golfers expect better:((

Every time I step onto this course I feel like I’m on day 4 of clinching a major. The only thing missing is the crowd chanting my name as I’m about to sink a 20 foot putt on hole 18 right before I put on my green jacket.

A truly amazing golf course with epic views of Lake Michigan and travel through wooded fairways to playing along side the St. Joseph river. A must play for the golf advocate. The pictures are from the number 11 par 3. About as close as Ill get to a hole in 1

Probably the most difficult course that I have ever played! Been swinging the clubs for 20+ years all over MI. Could say Ive played a decent sample set of courses across the state. Overall an awesome course, great greens, views, and very challenging. The guys in the pro shop were helpful too!

Beautiful Jack Nicholas track. Course was in great condition. There are multiple blind tee shots. If its your first time playing, take a minute to drive up on these holes. What may seem like a perfect line or a tiny target/landing area is often incorrect. Greens were fast and very undulating.

We visited the restaurant. I understand they were getting slow because of the season, but only having one person to serve, bartend and bus is asking a bit much. Food was good and service was good too after they called in a second person to help.

Review №38

This 18 hole course is really made up three 6 hole courses. There is no flow to the layout. Nicklaus is the greatest of all time. He must have thought everyone is as good as he is when he created this beast. If you are a 15 handicapper you will lose a dozen balls and three putt numerous times. The greens are crazy. I would bet there will be a revision to this course before long. It is just too hard for the average golfer. The service, amenities are very nice. The greens are usually in pretty good shape. This particular day the course was extremely soft (it hadnt rained in at least a week). Ball marks were like craters. Balls were plugging in the fairway. It was way over-watered. It is a unique layout and worth giving it a shot. Just make sure to bring your A game.

If I could have given ZERO stars, I would have. This use to be my favorite hotel in Lake Geneva. They stood apart from the others. But, that has certainly changed! When I surfed the net to check out the prices, I found that the rates were more than double what they were previously. I was finally able to get a deal, on Groupon, for a little more than I’ve paid in the past. When I phoned in to make the reservation, I questioned the staff about the increase in the rates. I was then advised that this was due to the fact that there had been significant upgrades. However, when I arrived at the hotel, I quickly saw NOTHING but “downgrades.” More specifically, when I went to the bathroom to prepare for a nice long bath, there was no tub—only a shower. Then, I woke up the next morning only to find out that the complimentary breakfast had been replaced by complimentary coffee??????? I can make my own coffee as there are coffee makers in EVERY ROOM!!!Moral of the story: Harbor Shores took away the ABC essentials that I love....1. Affordability2. Bathtub3. Complimentary breakfastNeedless to say, I won’t be visiting them again when I make my annual trip to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Additionally, I’m officially retiring from my volunteer position as a walking advertisement for Harbor Shores to all of my family and friends. So, to Harbor Shores, I bid goodbye. My regards to your complimentary coffee-making staff.

Review №42

The course is hard for a double digit handicap expect to loose 5 balls if you are playing good. The greens are fast and true but the pin placements are PGA difficult. The course is pretty but for $150 and a 1/2 dozen balls a $10 hotdog Michigan has way better places where you can hit your driver AND find your ball good luck to this place I am glad it is there.

We booked our outing over 9 months ago. A few weeks before (edited per comments below) the outing, we are informed that they now have to close the course all day Friday for an outing/event, costing us two of our rounds. We saw the set-up for this event multiple tents, a stage, etc., so there is no way they found out about this event a week before. They gave us zero compensation for our inconvenience, not even a free round. The twelve of us spent thousands at the course and the Inn over the weekend.For the cost, the course is not well maintained. Fairways and greens are a little beat up. Sand traps werent raked. The course is fun, but we were treated poorly, and none of us would ever go back.

I am a waiter myself. I felt the staff here was under attentive or under trained. One of my family members food was delivered under cooked resulting in a family issue later regarding the way in which she tried to get staff attention and couldnt. Other negative reviews already submitted.

Review №46

The staff, clubhouse, practice facilities, and experience are nothing short of amazing. The views on the golf course are spectacular. This track is a must play. The only reason I gave 4/5 is the course design; its certainly good, however there are too many forced carries for the amateur golfer in my opinion. Great course, go check it out.

Simply put, on a 1-10 scale Harbor Shores was an 11. Excellent service on and off the course. The golf course was in outstanding condition!!

Review №49

Given that Harbor Shores was constructed on largely abandoned industrial land, it is truly amazing what was accomplished with the course design, clubhouse and surrounding improvements. Golf course holes run through marsh, sand dunes, forest and river ecosystems. Though course is not walkable, enjoy the ride between the segmented holes as this is one of the most unique and visually appealing courses you will ever play. Generally in great shape and top notch facilities and staff.

Review №54

Course was very interesting and challenging. The fairways were filled with divot holes that showed no growth. For a supposedly championship course the greens were much worse than a $22 course in Hamlet,Indiana. Many unrepaired pitch marks and other types of holes which prevented true roll on puts. I would recommend not playing until full growth is achieved in May

Excellent golf course. Under-rated even as it relates to some of the great courses in the state. Immaculate conditions with top-notch amenities. Layout of the Front-9 is awesome, Back-9 doesnt have as unique of a layout but still great. A must-play if youre in the area.

Review №65

This is an absolutely gorgeous Jack Nicklaus course. The greens and fairways are covered with rollers and mounds that add to feel of the course. This course is punishing if you miss the green. And the greens are all tiered, so hitting the right 10 square foot area is a must.

World-class Nicklaus course with breathtaking views in every direction. Youll need every club in the bag (and then some) in this classic dunes/links layout. The clubhouse is first-rate and the staff is the best in the business.

While on vacation in nearby New Buffalo, I played a round of golf here. I couldnt have been more impressed with every aspect of the course. The Jack Nicklaus design was incredible and offered a variety of course types - from holes built on sand dunes, or winding through marshlands and river, to some holes tucked in the woodlands. The course was in fantastic shape, and the staff couldnt have been more friendly. I will absolutely be making Harbor Shores a must-play course while visiting Harbor Country in the future. Ive played many great courses in the Midwest and Harbor Shores just jumped towards the top of the list.
