Best public course in the state

Got a killer deal ($20/head) to play on Mother's Day Sunday afternoon. First time here and I'll definitely be back. Beautiful but very challenging course. Lots of sand and undulating fairways, huge premium on accuracy. It was cart path only the day we played, but I didn't mind it and it wasn't too crowded to slow us down. If you see a good deal for the Fort ($30 or less) consider it a steal and book it!

Not worth the money

After loading our cart we were told it was cart path only. This is not a course for a 67 yr old to walk. You had to look HARD to find a soft spot on the course, anything in the fairways was firm and dry. the only soft spots we found were in low lying areas of the rough.The tees were in terrible shape. I have seen tees on 20 dollar courses in better shape. The greens for the most part were in good shape and fast. The course is a beautiful piece of property, it's a shame that it isn't in the shape it should be in for the money charged.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course. i can't complain for paying $40, but you might as well walk with cart path only rules. Very large fairways with a lot of elevation. I'll take sore legs to play this course any day. Only complaint: my six pack was given to me in a bag instead of a cooler. Staff was exceptional. Course condition was great for the time of the year. Anytime you see a hot deal snag it!

The Fort Golf Course

The Fort is always a delight. Very challenging. Partly due to the terrain, but also because of the great design and course condition, which is always excellent. Pace of play can be slow if you're behind those where the course eats them up and spits them out.

Played with my buddies and we always grab the opportunity to play here when we can.

Beautiful Course

First time playing The Fort. Course was in great condition considering the amount of rain we received in the days prior. The course is challenging, but is fair. There aren't a lot of hidden hazards. Staff was friendly. Pace was good.

Not worth the money...

This was my first time playing this course. I live in the Noblesville area and play many courses around the area including Sagamore. Given the amount of money that it cost to play ($50) and the condition the course was in, I doubt I'll be back any time soon. It's an unjustice to golfers when courses over price their rounds with out giving clear notice of the course conditions. First, a cart-path only rule was enforced, which I don't mind. However, I wasn't told that until after I payed...and was still charged for the cart. Second, the greens were atrocious, covered with poa annua, dirt and debris, and had obviously not been manicured in a few weeks. The tee boxes were in decent shape, nothing fancy, and the fairways were ok at-best. Granite, it was the first of April, but there is no way I would have spent $50 to play on that poor of quality had I known first. Golf is suppose to be a trustworthy sport, but instead you get robbed by over priced, munciple courses for horrendous quality. That round wasn't worth $30, let alone $50. All that being said, everyone one working there had an excellent attitude and were extremely nice.

One of the Best in the state. No kidding.

Had a 30min frost delay, but still a great day to play The Fort. This is one of the best in the state. I've played here at least once per yr for the last 15yrs & it's always in great shape. This trip was no exception. Tees, fairways & greens were great, tightly mowed. Greens had been punched a few weeks ago, but rolled FAST. Grounds crew does a great job moving leaves out of the way and considering the weather this place is in spectacular shape. Lots of elevation change, great risk-reward holes, and some of the best holes in the state. I'll put the par 5s on this course (all of em) vs any course you know of. If you get a chance, GO.

Holding down the Fort

A great golf venue. Interesting holes with challenges. A very fair test. Too many players play from the blue tees, 6800 yards is too much for most of us. The whites are fine. A true value.

One of Indianapolis's best courses

Played on a Sunday at noon on a hot deal for $35. Was also able to use a BOGO free coupon through Golfnow (essentially playing for $20). The greens had just been aerated, but were still rolling true and in better shape then most courses on their best day. The practice facilities here are also very well maintained. Normally a little pricey, but well worth it!

Most Beautiful Round of the Year

Worth every penny. The course reminds me of the IU and The Hill course at French Lick slopping tree lined fairways and challenging greens. The next hole is more beautiful than the last one. Well maintained and a blast to play. Not overly long so every skill level can enjoy this course. I will be back.

Greens and bunkers

Course is quite nice and had some spectacular views. Pace of play was good.
The bunkers were not level or recently raked and the greens have great potential if not for so many divot marks.

A must play!

This course is fantastic, period! One thing, if you do not hit the ball straight here you can pay for it on your scorecard. The layout is amazing. I have played it for the last three years when I go out to Indy for the Moto GP race in August. I will be there again in 2015. If you are in the area you really want to play this course. I have been to Myrtle Beach and played probably close to 60 or so of there top rated courses and The Fort is in my top three I have ever played in my life, go play!

Greens need attention

A beautiful course. Always love the layout. The greens were pretty beat up and need some attention. Not worth 75 bucks with those greens.
