The Fort Golf Resort

This is my old “Home” course when I lived in Indy 21 years ago. It is a great course, very challenging, but very rewarding if you’re in the fairways. With GolfNow & my Golf Pass rewards it was only $48, which is a steal!

I played it 3 times while I was vacationing in Indy in June & July this summer.

If you haven’t played it yet, book a tee time!

This was my home course when I lived here 21 years ago. Always love to play it when I back in town. Found a Golf Pass deal for $48!

I’ll be back next summer! Shot a 84!

Greens were rough but overall a great track and fun layout. In particular, thought the par fours were a good length from the blues. Not too long and not too short.

The Fort is set in Fort Harrison State Park on the East side of Indy, and it’s absolutely stunning. It’s beautiful, and you never know what kind of nature you might happen across while getting your butt kicked on the course! The greens are vast and break every which way, so most of my strokes gained come from putting. It’s a great layout and generally in great condition. Water does tend to pool in spots, but being in a location with so many nature preserves, they can’t use the same chemicals as others to treat the grass. I love the course and will keep returning.

This course really surprised me. Conditions were really good for a public course and layout was amazing. It is a Pete Dye course so that's to be expected. Really love that this course had some undulating terrain, and wasn't flat like most of Indiana. Practice area was nice too as they even had a chipping and pitching green. Can't wait to play this course again.

Green fees have gone up everywhere but this place still maintains its luster., unlike other places that charges this high. Well staffed with Marshalls that help you enjoy your round by covering all aspects of your experience.

I played for the first time on 6/18/25 and fell in love with this course. It’s well maintained and beautiful scenery. It’s challenging because even if you hit the fairways you will have to know how to play downhill, uphill and sidehill lies. Definitely a course I will play again and again.

I started playing The Fort back in the 80’s, before Mr Dye redesigned it. It was tough back then, and tougher today. It was “cart path” only Tuesday due to the rain Monday night. Which made it even tougher for a 18 handicaper.

But I love the challenge. With my Golf Pass membership I got a deal for $50.

I’ll be back.

Mr Herman in the Pro Shop was very nice! Keep up the good work!

We recently played at The Fort Golf Resort while visiting Indianapolis and were enjoying the round until the course was closed mid-way due to rain. While we completely understand the need to suspend play for weather and safety, the way it was handled left us disappointed.

The staff did issue a rain check and a partial refund for the holes we didn’t get to play, which we appreciated. However, the rain check was only good for golf and not offered as a shop credit or other alternative. Since we were visiting from out of town and won’t have the opportunity to return, the rain check is essentially useless to us.

It would be great if The Fort Golf Resort had a more flexible policy for non-local players—especially at a destination course that likely draws many travelers. A shop credit or more tailored option would have left us with a much better impression.

The course itself is beautiful and well-kept, but unfortunately, this experience put a damper on what could have been a highlight of our trip.
