Great experience

I have nothing but positives to say about my experience at The Fort. The course was in excellent shape from tee to green. This Pete Dye layout will challenge every level of golfer - especially on the greens. The course was extremely busy - especially for a Thursday morning, but when you have a course of this quality, that is to be expected. I want to give a special shoutout to the staff. I had a snafu with a gift card that I was trying to use that they took care of for me. According to the gift card policy, they didn't have to do this, but did it anyway. Thanks, guys!

The Fort Golf Course

First and foremost The Fort Golf Course is a must play for anyone who lives in Indiana or comes to Indiana to play golf. The Pete Dye redesign work to the course the just makes it that much more desirable to play. Hard to believe the elevation changes and revives this course has for being located in central Indiana. #18 is very picturesque off the tee, then looking back from the fairway at the tee box. You get what I'm talking about if you plan on playing.

The greens are hard to read with what you feel should be breaks L to R or R to L. Which makes for some really tricky putts to par, or walk away with a single bogey. They were little beat up due to lack of golfer repairing their divoits. A few of the longer hole where closes to cart travel which caused delays,

but heck, we all need a little walking exercise. The layout will provide a rewarding experience for most all level of golfers, but for a newbie, recognize when to simply play best ball with someone in your group to keep things moving, and to still enjoy your round and the course.

Staff very friendly, very nice practice area(s), yes, sand practice, chipping and driving range. Great way to spend you day.

Brand new Pete & Alice Dye Golf Center currently being built, but looks fantastic

!!

Indy is home for me, so me and my foursome will be back.

Thanks

The Indy Golfer

Best Day!

Course was in great shape. A little roll in the fairways due to dry conditions.. which probably helped my score.

The course layout and the staff were both great! My only issue was not so much with the course itself but those who left divots without replacing or putting sand in them. The other issue I had were the number of people who did not fix their ball marks on the greens!! Some green were littered with ball marks!! No respect for the course or the others playing!!

Great Course

The course is the best in central Indy. Because it is so popular the course tends to get crowded. The pace is slower when certain golfers think they can play certain tee boxes. My wife and I were paired with a father and son who were great company and lots of fun to play with. However a five hour round is a little long.

Terrible condition

You can’t charge $100 for a course with bunkers that haven’t been cared for and greens that are falling apart. They need workers. Our government needs to support them with staff or cut charge in half.

Best in Indy!

This is my old “Home” course when I lived in Indy 21 years ago. It is a great course, very challenging, but very rewarding if you’re in the fairways. With GolfNow & my Golf Pass rewards it was only $48, which is a steal!

I played it 3 times while I was vacationing in Indy in June & July this summer.

If you haven’t played it yet, book a tee time!

Hot day for golf!

This was my home course when I lived here 21 years ago. Always love to play it when I back in town. Found a Golf Pass deal for $48!

I’ll be back next summer! Shot a 84!
