Fun times

This course is always challenging and entertaining.

The staff is great, especially David in the pro shop.

The greens and some of the fairways looked a little tired. The greens did not seem consistent. Still an enjoyable outing, overall.

The Fort is a good challenge but not a course that beats you up. Excellent condition. Staff is extremely friendly. Would definitely play again.

Excellent course and conditions. LONG round

I’ve been here probably 5 times now and it’s always a tremendous experience. Pure and maintained is what comes to mind. Hardest golf course in central Indiana because of the hills + hole designs. This also makes for a consistently long round. In a group of 4, we all shot 90 or less and our round still took 4 and a half hours. Make sure you have plenty of time if you do decide to come here

Nice course but over priced

It's a good layout. Some bunkers were in very poor shape. It fine but I wouldn't go out of my way or pay full price. They always act like they are slammed busy but never seems that way when i get there. They like to give off an exclusive vibe when they shouldn't. It's been that way for years though.

Very HOT round of golf

We love the Fort, the layout and trees, but the greens were pretty beat up today because golfers were not fixing their divots.

Paired

They paired me up with a solo in MY CART and cited lack of carts, however they had plenty. And no one on course. Round took 5 hours and was a forced foursome vs allowing a single, single and two some to play on own.

Beautiful Course needs better pace mgmt

Course is beautiful and in great shape. Really enjoyed my round, however the group in front of mine eventually grew into a 10some which seems less than ideal.

There was a ranger driving around but I guess he went in after 6 PM.

Challenging and beautiful

Our starter and the clubhouse staff were friendlier and more welcoming than ever before. Course played great (but need sand in bunkers and greens were relatively slow around stimp 9).

Great course and staff at the Fort. Conditioning was good, but some bunkers were unplayable because of rains and need for sand.
