The Fort is one of the top golf courses in central Indiana. Numerous tees to select from make it enjoyable for all levels of golfers. Challenging layout, generous fairways, consistent greens.

Not bad, but staff rushed us

Great course and I would play again. Only complaint was that the staff came out on the course and rushed us as well as a couple of other players. We had a fouresome and it was cart path only, so it did play longer, but we thought our pace was good. It took us just under 5 hours to play 18. Longer than usual, but when it is cart path only it is going to take longer than usual. I had 11,000 steps in for the day! We did let a twosome play through as well as a threesome. Only thing we could figure was the threesome told us they were regulars/memebers and they complained because they wanted to play faster. Other than that, it was a great time and I would play it again.

Nice and challenging course

Good layout. Would play again if gets a chance.

Back 9 greens are a bit slow but understandable due to early in the season.

Carts not allowed on the fairways, so makes it a bit long round.

Enjoyed!

The Fort is amazing

A wonderful golf course like no other within hundreds of miles. This course is a true gem for Indianapolis. This course has multiple tee boxes to accommodate any skill level. And it also has many memorable or signature holes. The Fort being a part of the state parks system is a plus. You simply do not imagine that you are in a Metroplex city. Very enjoyable to play.

Good course but a bunch of grumpy old men working at the front counter.

Good course but a bunch of grumpy old men working at the front counter.. The grumpy old men need to loose up and be more nice to the customers. I have played there so many times and they are so rude & not customers friendly. Need to hire more young people to work there. Unfriendly staff needs to change.

Perfect Autumn Round at an Amazing Course

This was my first round at The Fort as I am a recent citizen of Indiana - What is there left to say that legions of folks have posted? The course accommodates many levels of skill, and the tee boxes are appropriately positioned. The course is hilly and the brisk breezes make the course play a lot longer than most courses. The course rewards gambles and the dog legs are extreme on a few holes, and straighter is certainly better here! Beautiful views, picturesque even and the pace of play was pretty good considering the range of skill-levels encountered on my round. The greens were in good shape, but aeration has been recently done. I look forward to playing this course again soon!
