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!

Great Time

For late October the course was in good shape. They had recently spiked the greens but had yet to put sand down on them to fill in those holes. So that made putting somewhat a challenge. The rest of the course was in great shape. The grounds crew were out using big blowers getting the leaves off the fairways and since this course is tree lined it would have been difficult finding your ball in the fairway with all the leaves. Pace of play got slow starting on hole 7 as the foursome in front of us was really taking their time. It was a nice October day but come on, move along at a steady pace. Other than that we enjoyed our day and had a great time. Will definitely return next season. The staff were very nice all around.

Great Outing

Conditions were very good. Greens were cored but not sanded. Ball still rolled pretty good although you're starting out of a dimple. Driving range closed for season

but I did read that on the website. Otherwise everything was great. Staff were all friendly, outgoing and helpful. Will definitely be playing here again.
