The Fort Golf Resort

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.

great course, friendly staff.
fall aeration of greens and cold weather, but pricing was appropriate.

Beautiful course and in great shape!!i would highly reccomend this course especially with a golf now "hot deals"

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

The Good: Excellent Pete Dye and Tim Liddy design just east of Indianapolis is on-site at an old Army base. The Fort proves that a course does not need extravagant water hazards or gimmicks to be a fun place to play as there are minimal water hazards throughout the tree-lined, hilly layout. Spectacular course conditions, great service, and very nice off-course amenities including excellent lodging accommodations.

The Bad: The practice facility does not match the quality of course. The greens are usually in excellent condition; however they can be so slick that they can be extremely difficult. GPS on the carts would be a nice addition.

The Verdict: For good old-fashioned golf, The Fort is perhaps the best yard-for-yard public facility in the entire state of Indiana. The course conditions and overall golf experience are rivaled by very few. Make sure that you bring a lot of balls as the trees seem to gobble them up.

Best Hole: The Par 3 5th hole is arguably the best Par 3 in the entire state of Indiana. You must avoid the treacherous bunker on the right as it has a 4-5 foot lip that turns a good front nine into a nightmare.

very good course lots of trees and bunkers, huge 3 or 4 club greens , decent speed not lightning. about 8 on stimp , need high iron game for well bunkered greens, need good overall sand game too. cant take carts in parking lot = pain but not a deal breaker.

This course is a great challenge for any golfer. The greens were very tricky and the course has a elevation changes with rolling hills through the trees. Fair and open landing areas for driving from the tee box, but all greens seems to be a bit elevated. It was in great condition and the price after 4PM was OK, the course is too pricey before that time slot. It was beautiful and a lovely "park like atmosphere". No houses on the entire course.

The course has generous fairways and an intermediate cut of rough. I was only in the tall rough a couple of times but drew good enough lies to still advance the ball to the green. Greens were receptive and rolled beautifully. Play the correct tees and it's a very enjoyable course and definitely worth the money.

Site of the 2015 and 2016 Big Ten Championship. Golfnow.com got me on at a great rate.

The course is in great condition. Back nine is more challenging then the back but both are great layouts.
Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Pace of play was great, it did start to rain on the 18th hole tried to wait it out but not successful. So we didn't get to play the last hole. It looked awesome as we travelled in as fast as we could to avoid getting wet. If I was going to make any negative suggestion the seventh hole should be the ninth hole coming into the club hole, should be one of the signature holes.

In spite of having 2 inches of rain earlier in day, the course was still a PLEASURE to play. I'd heard many great things about this Pete Dye course and it lived up to its reputation. For several holes I had to pinch myself to make sure I was not playing in Northern Michigan - my favorite place to play golf. The elevation chagnes are unusual for Central Indiana and are used very effectively. The hot deal we snagged was also excellent! We'll be back!

We reached to golf course earlier.Tee was open and remained open for an hour.Pro shop showed a kind of hostility using Golf.com forTress times.
They informed me that do not get any one from my $80.00.They were not friendly.

By far my favorite public course in Indy, the greens were a bit rough and bouncy, and construction on a few holes was a bit distracting, especially 15.

Most scenic, pure golf course in the Indy area. Favorite course by far!

I've played here 20-30 times the last 3-5 years. My one complaint is that the rates are at a premium level and the greens have not been pristine in a couple years.
