Princeville Makai Golf Club

Princeville, HI — Harborside International Golf Center’s Port Course, located in Chicago, Illinois, is a challenging links-style course designed by the prolific Dick Nugent. Opened in 1995, Nugent’s design philosophy for the Port Course was to evoke the windswept, traditional links courses of Scotland, Ireland, and England, bringing a genuine seaside golf experience to the heart of Chicago. The course is renowned for its demanding layout, featuring deep rough, strategically placed bunkers, and the often-present challenge of strong winds off Lake Calumet. While specific signature holes for the Port Course are less frequently highlighted than its sister course, the overall design emphasizes strategic shot-making and a robust ground game, typical of classic links architecture. Golf Digest has recognized the Port Course as one of America's top municipal courses, underscoring its quality and challenging nature. Its unique setting, offering views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Calumet, combined with its authentic links character, makes it a truly memorable and worthwhile round for golfers seeking a rigorous test of their game.
