Beautiful course. Challenging. Well maintained. No houses. Wide tree lined fairways will hilly slopes and typical Pete Dye greens. A must play course.
Very nice course. Well maintained. Beautiful tree lined fairways. Somewhat hilly. Fun to play. Good rates on Golf Now for this course.
Prettiest public course in Indianapolis
The course was in great shape! The greens were playable and the fairways were also very well groomed. Great setting! Hard to believe it is so close to the city and interstate, very secluded.
NOT IN VERY GOOD SHAPE
HAD TO GO BACK TO VEHICLE FOR WALLET.COUNTER PEOPLE WHERE JERKS ,ASKED FOR ID BEFORE THEY WOULD EXCEPT RESERVATION PAPERWORK,NEVER HAVE BEEN ASKED BEFORE,AND HAVE USED GOLFNOW AT OVER 20 COURSES,COURSE HAD BEEN AIRIFIED BUT NOT TOP DRESSED 3 FOOTERS WHERE A GUESS,NO GPS
Great Pete Dye design
Played The Fort on October 8, 2013. It had rained the days before so the course was super soft. The course had a state park feel to it and lucky for Indy it was designed by a master. What a deal. $45 on golf now, can't beat that, course is worth much more. Drove an hour and a half to get there but will definitely make that drive again.
great layout and a challenge
Only negative is people do not fix ball marks. Also tall grass in bunkers on 15 unnecessary
best around
easily one of the best golf courses around. for as much play as the course gets it was in excellent shape. greens fantastic, fairways great. fun to play and beautiful scenery. when we were teeing off of #13 we had a baby deer about 25ft away and it didn't bat an eye.
Beautiful terrain...
Great golf course, however was very disappointed in the condition of the greens. Would not pay regular price for this course in its current condition. There are city courses with greens in better condition...
Good condition
The greens are nice and much better than last year. Good pace at 9 or 10 on stimpmeter but not too fast. Fairways are a bit soggy in low spots but otherwise good.
The Fort is the Fort, which is good.
The Fort is one of the more unique courses around.....long, no houses, lots of hills and a real "old feel." Course looks tougher than it is if you're not greedy .... But I'm here to 'play golf' so I'm in trouble a lot. Holes 5, 6 and 18 are my favorite. Some of the greens were a little chewed, but it's a municipal for crying out loud, so it's more than acceptable. If you haven't played the Fort, you've missed a real gem.
Superb golf course, Outstanding staff
This is a magnificent golf course. The layout is beautiful as with most Pete Dye courses. Fast, true greens. Excellent practice areas. The Fort is probably the best public course I have ever played. I played on a Monday which was a discout day but the full rate is still a bargain.
Excellent condition, tough.
This was our 3rd time to play The Fort, probably in the best condition we've seen. The greens were very fast, and the course is tough if you don't hit it straight, like me. When out on the course it doesn't seem like Indianapolis.
Course conditions
It was my first time playing "The Fort" and I thoroughly enjoyed the track. It had a great layout, but the green were not in very good shape. The greens had a lot of ball marks, which made it rough for putting. The fairways were in great shape, but the sand traps were very hard, clay base. I will definitely be back to play it again.
Must play for for the right price.
A little slow on some holes probably due to holiday. Always enjoy playing here when possible.
A little pricey but some nice holes.
$74 makes it difficult to play this course very often, but there are some very nice holes. Pace of play much too slow at 5 full hours. Marshalls need to monitor this more closely.
Great place to play in Indy
The Fort golf course was in great shape. The pace of play was steady and we did not feel rushed or slowed down. We were even able to get on the course before our tee time. The staff was nice and helpful. The only complaint is the lack of restroom facilities on the course. Overall, I would recommend playing this course to anyone that is in the Indy area.
Great Course
The Fort is a great mountainous course in Central Indiana. Greens were in great shape and tee boxes pristine.
Great course and setting
This was the second time I played The Fort and was glad to make it back out. The setting is perfect, right in the middle of a state park with a lot of elevation changes and great tree lined holes. Course was in good condition, fairways and rough were well maintained, greens were just ok. Will play again based on the course design and setting alone.
Very Good Indianapolis Course
This is one of the best designed courses in Indiana. Tee to green the course is in great shape. The greens were average on the day we played and need some attention. There were many unrepaired ball marks and signs of use.
Great Course in Good Shape
Very challenging the way they had it setup with the long rough. Better not miss the fairway!
The Fort is awesome
You will thoroughly enjoy the lay out. Course is in great shape and you will not find many in Central Indiana that have the undulation like The Fort has. Challenging and fair. Have played several times and have never been disappointed.
