Tough track outside Indianapolis
too hilly to walk. very picturesque and several tough tee shots. 3rd hole is a par 5 which the fairway slopes from right to left. not an easy par 5. very distinguishing layout especially on par 3's. very friendly staff and the lodge at Fort Harrison was very accomodating.
First Trip to The Fort
On our annual trip to the Indianapolis 500, we decided to mix in a little golf. I happened across this course, and from the on-line reviews and pictures, it looked like a good choice. Was I ever right. The course is public, but it's run like a private course. There were "bag boys" to greet us. The Pro Shop Staff was very friendly. The course was wet, so cart path only. a tough course to walk, but still very enjoyable. The course was in GREAT condition, even wet. Course Marshalls appeared every so often and kept the round moving. So nice to have marshalls. A drink cart came around often. I HIGHLY recommend this course, but it is a Pete Dye design, so you'll be in for a few risk reward shots. don't miss the fairway. :)
Beautiful scenery!
This is a must play course in Indy! Amazing views with challenging landscape. Course was in excellent condition. Tee times were on time and courteous rangers periodically came around and asked how we were doing. Enjoyed our round immensely and would 100% play here again!
Great Course
What a great find in the east side of town. Definitely will go back!
Vacation Choice
Course was in great shape. Greens were fast and true with hidden breaks. Interesting elevation changes. In town for vacation. Reminded me of a Northern Michigan Course. Would play again.
Top Notch - Can't Miss
The Fort Course is a top notch-cannot miss course if you are visiting Indy. From your first encounter with the Staff to each step along your day you could not ask for more. Overall course conditions of fairways, rough, and greens were all maintained in exceptional condition.
I will wrap it up by saying we played the 6,758 blue tees and it was all you need to be challenged and still enjoyable. Looking forward to my next trip and round!
Terrific Golf Course
I played the Fort Course today for the first time and was throughly impressed. Simply a fantastic track with amazing parkland views and NO HOUSES to be seen. The golf course was in great shape and the greens were rolling at a nice pace. Highly recommend if you are ever in the Indianapolis area and looking for a golf course, don't pass this up. Kudos to the staff and the superintendent for a great experience.
GREAT VALUE
My son and I were there from Toronto and we had an 11:20 tee time , but we called to see if we could get out early due to travel time , staff were excellent in helping out and we got out an 1hr and a half early, course was wet , but other then that everything was great> Dan
Great Layout - Slow Play - Bad Rangers
I played this course in middle April on a Friday afternoon. The greens were pretty good for a public course. They were pretty fast and true. There were some spots near the greens that were patchy and therefore made it hard to chip. It is a beautiful design and layout.
We (a 3-some) teed off at 12:20 and finished our round at 5:00. We waited on every hole and every shot. The group in front of us had 3 holes open in front of us. We told the ranger and he did nothing. I think he knew some of the slow players and did not want to confront them.
There were at least 5 groups behind us who were also waiting on every hole. A slow group of 4 made at least 15 golfers behind them very frustrated.
It is sad that the ranger was not aware of the slow play and had to be told by us. We saw him at least 5 times during the round.
It is sad that the ranger did not do anything about the slow play once we told him on hole #11.
$74 is a little steep to pay for this course if the rangers cannot do their job.
Contention for best course in Indiana!
Golf in the midwest doesn't get much better than this. Everytime we play at the Fort, the course is in excellent shape and every round is a blast. Very scenic course, and no shortage of challenges await. Easily up there for one of the best courses in Indiana.
Frustrating Cart-Path Only
This is a big course with wonderful big views, but the joy is dramatically lessened when 95% of the course is dry and firm and you are required to keep the cart on cart path only! I will not be back or recommend this course until this philosophy changes.
Great Shape for March
Course still has some winter healing to do but a really great course and it was in great shape for it being the end of March. Will definitely be back.
First 70 degree day
Great experience. It was the first 70 degree day and we snatched up an 11:50 tee time and it was perfect. Great course, great staff. It was a great experience. Would definitely go back.
Amazing Layout
You won't find a better layout in central Indiana. Elevation changes, and left to right action make this track a signature Pete Ditty. It was early, so the greens were a little bent outta shape. and since the layout is so challenging, the pace of play is brutal.Even still, this course is without a doubt one of the most fun layouts I've ever played. Will certainly be back!
Very scoreable
Very pleasant course that is extremely playable. Mid to high handicappers will really enjoy playing here. Better players probably will find it a bit pedestrian. It is the most un-Pete Dye course I have ever played. I don't recall seeing a single railroad tie. There was a signature waste bunker with grass islands late in the round. Fun place to enjoy a relaxing round and post a low score if you're on your game.
Beautiful in fall colors on a great layout
The course is an excellent challenge and fun to play. It has some easier holes with some more difficult holes that make it fun. It is also a course that is fairly priced year round.
