Great day of golf

Enjoyed my round at The Fort, today. Paired up with 3 good guys, including a volunteer worker of the course named Mike, that made the round enjoyable. The course conditions could have been a little better with a few of the greens being a bit beat up. The weather was sunny with a 2-3 club wind which made the course very challenging. All things considered, the course is one one the best options in Indy and I will continue to play.

Great course

Most tee-boxes, fairways, greens, and traps were in great shape. The greens held and were fast and smooth (except for ballmarks some people didn’t repair). Although a few greens had some large dead spots. We just moved our ball over to avoid them. Traps had good sand in them, but we had to rake some of them and place our ball. Always loved the layout with a lot of variety in the hole designs.

Great course

I have played the Fort a few times. This time, the condition of the tee boxes and the greens was okay at best. Usually very good condition. May be due to the dry weather, but lots of dead spots. Still one of the best layouts around as far as the topography.

Nice layout

Nice track / could use more maintenance. Cancerous brown spots on the greens today but an otherwise beautiful place to swing the club! Bunkers had weeds - if unplayable, it should be marked as such (see image). Loads of potential to be great!

Snail slow

The pace of play at this course is awful! They make you play in a 4-some and it takes forever as a result. It’s a pretentious course...it’s a city course that makes like a destination resort course. There are no yardage makers because they want you to buy the book. Lastly...for how nice they THINK this course is...it isn’t. There are divots all over the fairways. The greens are in poor shape. And...the bunkers need sand. On the plus side...it’s a pretty course. Nice layout and scenery. Ever now and then that is worth the glacial pace of play and average condition.

Hello, efaustinin. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are working to get our greens and fairways back in good shape. We are glad to see you rated the course layout and scenery to be great during your game. Thank you for playing The Fort Golf Resort. We hope to see you again soon.

Great Layout

I try to play The Fort once or twice a year. It is a really enjoyable layout and the course is typically in good shape. The holes are memorable. There are plenty of tee options depending upon your skill level.

This unfortunately was a five hour round with a wait on every tee. I did see a ranger a few times, but the round didn't speed up much. Only other feedback is the greens usually are soft, so plenty of ball marks. With that being said, the greens rolled very well. I will be back and encourage others to check it out.

Slow Play

4 Hours and 40 minutes. Saw 3 rangers and no one did anything. The course is tight in spots heavy trees on both sides. Players constantly looking for balls, the rangers know which holes are the culprits and should set up so they can assist in groups finding their balls so play keeps moving. Instead driving around cart paths smiling and saying have a great day.

Had a great time until the weather cancelled the round

The Fort is a great course. Can't say the same for Golfnow. I have searched high and low on the web site and the instructions offered for handling rounds cancelled due to bad weather do not appear on the reservations. We finished the 9 hole then heavy rain, high winds and lightening ended the round. I am trying to get a rain check or refund.
