The Fort Golf Resort

Weather was not very good. Intermittent rain and soggy conditions. Was surprised not on cart paths. First time playing course and a real challenge. I'm a 8 hdcp. and shot 90. Some real difficult holes. Felt like you're playing in TN. Fairways and greens were very good. Pro shop attendants were knowledgeable and helpful. Friendliest starter I have ever encountered. Will be back

The $55 price I got on GolfNow made it a no-brainer to pick this course. The 92 I put up does not reflect all the free drops I got out of the tall stuff. If you haven't played this course I would suggest you get out and play it especially with the Fall colors coming around it's a gorgeous place to play

If you have not played this course then you should. Rolling terrain in the heart of Indiana. Very scenic very fun and challenging course to play. Fair for the ladies as well. Have played here multiple times before and it never disappoints. Staff is wonderful and the entire experience is great.

A great layout. This course will dirty all of your clubs. A great mix of long and short holes with a collection of excellent par three's. The staff is friendly and the lunch buffet was fantastic.

The Fort is a beautiful layout. The staff is very friendly. The tee boxes and fairways are in good condition. BUT--I have never seen greens in such horrible conditions. Greens are horribly cratered from un-repaired or improperly repaired divots. Player education about the proper method and importance of divot repair before they play would help. Continual green repair and rolling might help.

It's unfortunate, because the course is a beautiful layout. The current conditions of the greens make it nearly unplayable.

Otherwise the course is very good.

Great course, beautiful course....greens in terrible shape.

This is a top notch track. I only get to play here a few times a year as the fees are a little steep. I alway consider it a treat to play The Fort. This time out it was just unfortunate that we played behind some very slow groups that obviously did not know golf educate. That tends to happen every now and then no matter where you play. The real concern was that the greens were not in top notch shape as I always look forward to. The greens were very beat up with tons of ball marks. I would fix mine and many more every time I was on the greens. They were very bumpy and surprisingly slow. I played a City course on the west side of Indy the prior day that had smooth and fast greens. Just very disappointed with the greens!

Gave The Fort another go today and it was in better shape than when I played and reviewed it this time last year. Still a bit rough around the edges in spots, especially on the front. But overall it's an interesting layout with lots of elevation change. Fairways are wide, and greens are not as tricked up as others around here.

Still, my playing partner and I both agreed - for the price point, we expected a little more and would rather go to others like Prairie View, Bear Slide, or Purgatory over this course. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad course - far from it actually. Top 5 in the area? No. Top 10? Yes. Ultimately, it's just not worth what they charge for full freight when there are better options cheaper nearby.

The golf course was in fantastic shape. The greens,the bunkers,and the condition of the course was outstanding. For the price it is the best maintained course I have played in the lsat 3 years

My buddy and I had heard a lot about the Pete Dye re-design so we decided to check out The Fort on a recent golf trip to Indy.

I must say it was a beautiful track. People had told us that when you play The Fort, you won't feel like you are in Indiana because of all the elevation changes and sweeping views. They were right. In that regard, and in that regard ONLY, it reminded me of the Pete Dye Course in French Lick.

My buddy enjoyed The Fort more than I did. Of the five courses we played while in Indy, The Fort was easily the most beat up. Tough to get a level lie on some tee boxes and the par-3 tee boxes were absolutely weed-infested. The greens looked like they had received a beating as well with pockmarks everywhere.

All in all, I would play The Fort again just to see if I get the same experience and try to give it another chance.

This is a Pete Dye design and can be a little difficult at times. Course was beautiful and hilly for Indiana. A former military owned course taken over by the national parks. Very nice layout that will test your skills. If you play it twice, play white tees first and then then from the tips. Totally different experience. Greens are a little quick with enough bumps and slope to make it very interesting.

Picture perfect weather didn't hurt. Course is picturesque, challenging enough but not unfair.

Twilight rates are a great deal.

Nasty wasp infestation on one of the back 9 greens that I trust has already been dealt with.

Even with rain delay, course dried fast. Greens were still fast and true. Top local course in Indy.

I would recommend this course to anyone. It's a great layout firm but fair! Fairways perfect! Tees perfect! Greens very nice!!

Mr Dye is best known for courses like TPC Sawgrass, PGA Stadium, Whistling Straits, etc. Bold, visually challenging sites done on a grand scale (and a grand budget). The Fort shows off his design skills on a more normal landscape and budget and more playable for the average golfer. Didn't notice any railroad ties, but the greens and surrounds were definitely up to the Dye standard - you need to pay close attention to the severe and subtle slopes when chipping or putting. Generally not a tough driving course, though as usual Mr Dye has created some visual challenges.

The course was soaked from almost 4 inches of rain in the past few days, but for the most part the course drained reasonably well (except for the bunkers). Greens rolled nicely though a little slow given the conditions.

Would defiantly put this in the top 3 Indy courses I've played.

The reviews on this course must not be avid golfers. Not one bunker on the course had been maintained meaning at the least, raked. Every bunker looked like it hadn't been touched in over a month, missing sand, and certainly not what I would have expected. On top of that, the driving range is always closed on Tuesdays (not posted in the description) and even closed on a holiday. I've never seen that. The greens were good but I can't accept a higher rate than excellent alternatives like Plum Creek or Bear Slide which were in great shape and less money. Disappointing to say the least.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The guy in the booth on hole one gave us tips about the course that really helped. We were paired up with another group of two that included a member which was nice to have him give us the right places to play the ball. Can't wait to play this course again.

I have played this course several times a year since moving to the Indy area six years ago. I like it because of the variety of holes, the elevation changes, and how well kept the course is.The starter couldn't have been nicer. Same for the several marshals we passed by while playing our round. We will definitely be back!!
