The Fortress Golf Course

About
The Fortress was inspired by classic Scottish golf courses, incorporating fescue-covered mounds and a liberal smattering of bunkers, 75 to be exact, around the large, sectioned greens. The expansive greens average 7,500 feet, providing golfers with some challenging putts. Patches of rough that are several inches thick and strategic mounding separate the winding fairways. The back nine holes are where the course really shines. It becomes especially interesting by the time you reach the par-4 13th hole, a dogleg left that is bordered by two large ponds. It is hard to decide which is worse: landing in one of the four bunkers or the deep gorse on the mounds behind the green, but both are better than losing your ball to the water. The signature hole of the golf course though is the 17th, known for its challenging island green. There is little room for error on the long, narrow green.

All around Awesome course👍🏻
Very well maintained from tee to green with some challenging holes . Every hole is unique. Definitely will play again.
Another great round
Thank you all for another great day at The Fortress! Great friendly staff and the course as usual in great condition!
Holiday weekend
For a holiday prices were fantastic on food and drink. Golf was also a decent price for the conditions
Nice Golf Course
I enjoyed the whole experience at the Fortress. The carts were very clean and had GPS and club / ball washers. The pace of play was very good as we only had to wait to tee off on only a few holes. The greens were nice and the ball rolled true. Fairways were great, very soft. The coarse was fair, if hit the fairway the holes were not that hard, miss and you were punished with either thick rough or really tall grass. I will definitely be back to play it again.
Nice course, but tough
Very pleased with the course. Got a great hot deal, so it was a very nice course for what I paid.
Wonderful Day!
The course was in great shape! Had a great round with a good friend! Shot pretty decent as well.
Always a favourite
Love love this course. Only thing negative is so much walking even with a cart. We are in our late 70’s and the walking is exhausting. If u go off the fairways the cart shuts down and on 18 we literally had to push cart to get it too go again. Could have had a heart attack.
Great little getaway
Very nice course with staff to match it very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely return the only drawback was the greens were aerated but the rest of the course made up for it. Good value, will definitely return.
Love love this course!
Such a challenging course! Beautifully layed out. Only complaint I would have here is there is a lot of walking involved up and down which is a challenge for seniors over 70 with hip or knee issues. Thus the reason for a cart. If u go off the fairway the cart quit running and I mean only a few steps off so we had to literally push the car until it started and I’m 79 and hubby is 78. Could have had a heart attack. Other wise perfect and fun. Especially in fall with the trees in colour.
Fun course and greens and fairway in great shape. Only negative was they were plugging the front 9 greens and that was not noted on the golf now app. The fortress did call me and inform us of that so we just played the back 9 twice. Look forward to playing again and including the front 9. Only other negative is the clubhouse concession stand is located right next to the water treatment plant and it’s not an inviting smell to your dinning experience. We decided to grab a bite to eat elsewhere. But the facilities were very nice. Staff very friendly!
