Pete Dye masterpiece

The Fort is one of the best lay outs in Indiana. I’ve played the Brickyard and some of Indiana’s best over the past year and can’t say any of them are a better layout then the FORT. After a severe storm went thru a couple days earlier the course was in really good shape the only issue was some of the greens have been punched on the back nine. I would guess in the next few weeks they will all be done. They rolled well besides that and held a shot better then any greens I have played this year. The course is well worth the green fee price. Really fun and challenging. I also played one of my best rounds of the year even par 72

Slow play

If I went to a municipal I would expect to tempo of play . Not what you expect when you pay that sort of money for golf. Several groups 2 + holes behind and no rangers to speed them up.

Better Choices

This course is considered one of the premium courses in Central Indiana. Haven't played in a few years. Bunkers have a top soil sand mix. Not a good combo. Rough extremely high and not a consistent height around the course. Lots of grass clippings in rough making it hard to locate your ball. Only good for slowing play. Greens were by far the slowest I've ever seen on that course. Hope they can do better to improve.

Players fix your divot marks on the green

Course is always so fun to play. First time going out this year and it was disappointing to see the greens in this condition. The course is in beautiful shape and then you get to the greens, and its the golfers that are chewing up the greens. I dont mind fixing divot marks but poor player maintenance this Spring has now left the greens looking like a crater field.

One of my favorites I’ve ever played!

The course was great! One of my favorites I’ve ever played. Most of the staff was really nice, but we also felt rushed even though we checked in 40 min ahead of our tee time. I felt the urgency was unnecessary and could have been communicated a bit more graciously.

All in all, can’t wait to go back!
