The Fort Golf Resort

This is an extremely challenging course with many tee options for every player. Course condition was excellent.

We actually ended up playing the front nine on Wednesday and then the back nine on Thursday since a storm came in just as we finished the first nine holes.

The course has great scenery and a nice layout though a little challenging.

All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating to our request to finish the back nine the following day since we were staying for the night at the hotel associated with the course.

The course was well maintained even with the huge amount of rain it had received. We plan to play again when in the area.

Still one of Indy's best upscale options, but their rack rate is too high. This is definitely a "resort course" and not so much a "players course".

It was hard not to enjoy myself because the layout is very solid, the weather was fantastic, and I happened to score well that day...... However-- While the course was in good shape, it wasn't as good as I've seen it at times. I've played it in much "firmer and faster" conditions which I prefer and it was set up more for the 20-handicapper. A few of the fairway bunkers had not been groomed that morning. All in all in good shape though!

What was HORRIBLE was playing behind a large group of 20 who "took over the course". They were from out of town, incredibly slow, and drunk by the end of it. I realize the importance of revenue to the facility, but as a "golfer" I didn't enjoy pulling up to virtually every tee box and watching 1-2 groups tee off......again, a group of twenty broke up into foursomes who were drinking heavily and disregarding the rest of the world behind them. They didn't do quite so bad on the front 9, but their alcohol abuse clearly affected their pace which was close to 3 hours on the back 9! Thankfully the guys behind me were good guys and solid players..... I got to have pleasant conversations on each tee box while they waited on me waiting on the groups ahead.

Played this well manicured course on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Pace of play was fantastic even when we got held up when our cart broke on the 5th hole. They brought us another cart within 10 minutes and we were off and running again with no delays and no one hitting into us. Many golfers out that day too! The course was challenging although not as challenging as I thought it was going to be considering the uneven lies, bunkers and water strategically placed everywhere. Fairways seemed to be wider than others though and sloped toward the middle. Hard to not have a good tee shot. Fast greens, tricky lies, and course layout along with very scenic views makes this course a must-play when in Indy for sure!

I played as a single with three others of varying skill levels. Each played a different tee and we all shot in the 80s. The course was in excellent condition and greens were pristine. It offers challenging distance and some high risk/reward holes for longer, more skilled players while remaining enjoyable for players of higher handicap. I can't wait to return to The Fort

The course was in great shape ( it always is) a couple greens need some work . Other than that a great track . I will play it over and over

Love The Fort, play hear at least once a month. Really challenges your placement from tips. Typically course in always in great shape, sometime pace of play can we slow. Course gets a good amount of play for the value. Definitely and must play.

Saw reduced green fee rates on website . Called to make tee time and mentioned rate shown on website. When we paid they would not honor the website rate because we did not make reservation on website. Cost me an additional $48. We are from out of town and visit Indy three or four times a year. Probably won't play here again.

Also, the golfers that play here are challenged at divot fixing. Fixed at least 5 divots on every hole.

I played with two other average golfers today. We played from the blue tees. A couple of holes were challenging to reach the fairway if you are not an average player but it made it all the more challenging for a regular player. Wide fairways were a plus, undulation was a nice surprise considering we are in Indianapolis. The course was cart path only when we played so it was a long round. Rangers and other staff were extremely friendly and helpful. As for price, if you pay full, it is a little steep. Anyway, I would highly recommend and look forward to coming back. *****

3rd time in a row i booked on golfnow and found out it was cartpath only. Never again.

Was there for first weekend it was open, so cart path only was a bit of a drag. Course looked good & staff very friendly. We had reduced rate, not sure it's worth what they want in summer?

Overrated. I had heard about how great this course was but after we finished it was like, that's it? Just didn't leave an awesome feeling with me, very bland. was difficult but just lacked something. It was dead and played super fast which was cool but just didn't have any wow factor for me. SUPER overpriced as well even on golfnow. just my opinion

It was a beautiful day in December and the pace of play was pretty good not much to complain about. The course was in pretty good shape for it being December balls rolled like you'd except for December..

Beautiful course very well maintained. Staff is like dealing with people from a business with very old business practices. This is the third time I've played this course and each time the staff was not very friendly.

In my opinion, The Fort is really the standard for top notch public golf in Indy. Layout is spectacular and never boring, staff is friendly, course is always immaculate. Greens were just punched last week but still rolling more true than many public courses in the area. I'll be taking advantage of their fall rates again before the snow flies.

My buddy and I were looking forward to playing here. We really loved the course itself, but was disappointed in how they handled the pace of play. We booked as a twosome and they paired us with another twosome, which was no big deal to us. However, there was a twosome in front of us that was holding us up on every single hole and they had a least two holes empty in front of them. Seen one ranger all day and did not seem to care about a twosome holding us up. Had three twosomes behind us that we were holding up but we could not go anywhere..... Also for the price of this course we would of expected GPS on Carts.... Overall Great Course but not worth the price..... would only play here again on a Hot Deal through GolfNow...

Amazing layout, very difficult at times with also done easy scoring holes for any level golfer. Only complaint is greens whe they role true have a lot of ball repair marks. Staff was great, pace of play for a foursome was just under 5 hours which is little long for my liking but overall great course and will definitely go back and play again

Fantastic venue and serious challenge.
Used every club to plan the drive, approach and preferred putt angle.
Front nine greens were pock-marked by inconsiderate or unintelligent golfers, but the back nine greens in much better shape.
Drove 3 hours to play with a friend and it was well worth it. Every employee was welcoming and friendly.
Hope to play again soon.

Loved the design. The old growth trees and undulating fairways and greens make it a challenge. Fun to play and would definitely go back.

We always have enjoyed playing at The Fort. No issues with the overall conditions except for the greens. The have been very acceptable in the past, generally firm and in good repair. On August 16th, they were extremely pock-marked with unrepaired and/or regrowing ball marks. We had a number of putts that bounced and others that were thrown offline after traversing areas that were not all all smooth. I'm not a turf expert, but the greens looked like they need punching or slitting, top dressing with sand, and rolling.
