About Fort Golf Course Resort

The Fort Golf Course Resort was created in 1996 from Fort Benjamin Harrison, once a key U.S. Army post. The redeveloped military base has become a popular 1,700-acre state park with hills galore for hikers, bikers and golfers. Owned and operated by the State of Indiana, the 7,148-yard Pete Dye design features tree-lined fairways and Dye’s penchant for tough and interesting holes. The Fort Harrison Inn, a limestone structure built in the 1940s, offers 27 rooms and suites and the Garrison Restaurant. The Harrison House (seven more rooms and suites) and four Officer Homes are also available for overnight stays.

Beautiful Course

Even in early spring, the course is gorgeous. A very challenging course for a beginner gofler but don't let the difficulty dissuade you. As for greens fees, a little on the steep end for me, but we got a Golf Now deal that made it a great value for the day.

Beautiful course. Unfriendly staff.

Beautiful course but the staff and rangers are rude. Used to be a course for military but now public and still act like it's a private course. Play about 3 times a year but can be aggravating due to the staff.

Great Course but Staff ruin experience

Great course but the rangers are too old to do their job. You will be waiting to tee off with a group in the fairway and they tell you to pick up the pace. Course condition is always hit or miss and the club house staff are always rude.

Old Buddy!

I have played the FORT occasionally since 1968.

Through high school, college, post-grad years and prime career! Generous real estated, little housing distraction, rolling terrain unusual for Indiana golf,

And re-designed 14 years now by Pete Dye, a saint

Among golf devotees!

Fees have risen, yet the charm lingers over 50 years

With the warm hand-shake on #1 to the surrender on #18! Thanks for your loyal friendship!

Fort Ben

This course is a great one. I live close but I would travel from the other side of town to play a course like this one. I enjoy the challenges that this course has for my amateur level of play. I play 3-4 times a month and i generally rotate around to different courses but this one’s always in my routine.

Beautiful course in Indianapolis

This course is not for a beginner however it is a great challenge. Beautiful scenery on virtually every course.

Part of a State Park with the same name. A great course with multiple tee boxes hovering you pliability for any age and skill level ( above beginner).

Nice scenery…but that’s all.

The staff is rude. From the pro who only allows foursomes…to the check in clerk who won’t let you speak without interrupting, to the starter who questions you tee time even after getting your receipt. It seems pretty clear threes people do NOT want you to play this course.

Then there is the course itself. It’s pretty scenery but that’s it. EVERY hole is a gimmick hole. For examples…the par 3 fourth hole has a false front green. The gentleman who run this course put the pin ON THE FALSE FRONT!! I had a 10 ft putt and hit a good putt. Should have ended up 6 to 8 inches from the hole…instead it rolled off the front of the green and 15 yards down the hill!! It’s stupid! And every hole has something to trick it up! This is by far the least fun golf course I have ever played.

I will NEVER play this course again and tell all my friends not to. There are better places to play than this over-priced gimmick city course.

Beautiful Fall Day On The Course

Had a great time golfing The Fort golf course today for the first time. The beautiful fall leaves and deer were a bonus to this hilly, well maintained golf course. If you hit them straight you can score well. If not, you have a lot of trees and ravines to find your ball in.

Would love to play this course again sometime.

Great course, unfriendly staff

Been playing here for years. One of Indy’s best courses, so I’ll continue to play… but the staff has always been very unfriendly and condescending for no reason.

Great course; despite green aeration

The best course in the Indianapolis area. A gem! Green Aeration was the only negative. Rain showers at the end of the fron nine. Had to wait about 30 minutes for it to pass over.

Incredible Value

Played while in from out of town. For $60 I’ve never played a nicer course. The layout is fun but not impossible, the scenery is amazing, remote and not lined with houses everywhere. Tee to green it was in excellent condition.
