<p>A great city like Chicago deserves a great place for its locals and visitors to play, and when it comes to golf, Harborside International is the Chicago Course! In the “City that Works,” Harborside is Chicago’s place to relax and have fun. Located just 16 minutes from downtown on I-94 within the city limits, Harborside offers two championship links courses (Port &amp; Starboard) open to the public and positioned right on Chicago’s doorstep.</p>
<p>For all who are possessed by the lure of golf, Harborside offers the perfect place to enjoy two challenging, expertly manicured and conditioned courses, while sharing their experience with friends and others who love the game as well. Golf began on the treeless, windswept links courses of Scotland, Ireland and England, and Harborside brings that great links experience to Chicago.</p>
<p>Harborside courses are also complimented by outstanding amenities. Phil Stefani, one of Chicago’s top restaurateurs (Tuscany &amp; Riva Restaurants), operates Pier 37 Restaurant situated within a magnificent 24,000 square-foot Prairie Style clubhouse. If you are planning a small gathering or a corporate, association or charity outing, Harborside can readily accommodate you. Our top-rated 57-acre practice facility offers bent grass tees along with areas for pitching, chipping and putting. The Academy of Golf offers lessons for individuals and clinics for groups from beginners to the most accomplished golfer.</p>
<p>From the friendly welcome as you arrive and throughout your entire experience, you will find why so many locals and visitors alike make Harborside, “the Chicago Course,” their course!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Exceptional Golf That Won’t Empty Your  Wallet</strong></p>
<p>Exceptional golf. Affordable  rates.</p>
<p>Along with consummate attention to detail and friendly, helpful customer service, these are the hallmarks of every GolfVisions golf course.</p>
<p>GolfVisions, a golf management firm based in suburban Chicago, understands that today’s golfers have options galore. Many competing recreational opportunities vie for limited time and funds. Golfers are becoming more discriminating in terms of where and when they play. Fortunately, GolfVisions has the antidote to overpriced, highbrow, gimmicky golf. It’s this simple: <strong>exceptional golf experiences at affordable  rates</strong>.</p>
<p>Through lease or management contract, GolfVisions operates five 18-hole facilities and three 9-hole facilities in the Chicagoland area: Oak Grove Golf Course in Harvard, Foxford Hills Golf Club in Cary, Village Green Golf Course in Mundelein, Settler’s Hill Golf Course in Batavia, Nettle Creek Country Club in Morris, HeatherRidge Golf Course in Gurnee, Hunter Country Club in Richmond, and Deer Valley Golf Course in Big Rock. Snowbirds can enjoy Pennbrooke Fairways, our 27-hole property in central Florida. While each individual GolfVisions’ facility is special, with unique appeal, distinct challenges and memorable holes, ALL are impeccably maintained, “crisp and clean” throughout, and eminently playable. Our ongoing customer satisfaction surveys reveal that golfers who play one GolfVisions course typically seek out others. That’s because a GolfVisions course always represents an extraordinary golf value: a meticulously maintained facility and a friendly, knowledgeable staff at affordable rates for the experience provided.</p>
<p>GolfVisions’ success hinges upon its people. Indeed, GolfVisions possesses the capabilities, integrity and talent to make each managed or leased facility an aesthetic and financial success. The company’s practical, win-win approach reflects the cumulative experience and wisdom of Tim Miles, Sr., its founder and president, whose 40-year career has encompassed all facets of the golf industry.</p>
<p>It’s hardly surprising, then, that GolfVisions’ growth has been intrinsic, referral-based, driven by demand. Clients—owners, developers, units of government—seek out GolfVisions for its sound operating principles, realistic management practices, and commitment to providing accessible, affordable golf that is “best in class” for its market niche and community.</p>
