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.

Great Layout

Tough course in the wind . Greens, fairways, traps in good shape. Mix of elevated greens and multiple tee boxes. Fun, put it on your list!

Thick rough

It was cart only so that made our round a little slower. Some spots were very wet and a few sand traps were like cement... from the rain the past few days. Greens/ fairways in good shape. We will certainly be back.

Early Season

Greens require some attention to bring back to

High level conditions.

Tees and fairways in very Goog condition

Traps were inconsistent just need mechanical

raking to loosen up compaction

Early Season

The course has only been open for a week or so, so I will give them a break. The greens were covered in small piles of sand which made it very difficult to putt. In a couple of weeks the course should be in excellent condition.

THE Fort

The Fort golf course located outside Indy is part of the Indiana State Park system.

Staff was extremely friendly. Golf course was in good condition with excellent green complexes.

No inside dining due to covid, but a must play if your in the Indy area.

Just perfect, this is the place to play!

What a fantastic course! Conditions were great, I had forgotten how much elevation change there was and all the teeth Pete Dye usually puts in his courses. Everyone there was also super nice in getting a single out for a twilight time. This is the place to play in Indy!

Again, bad experience for the cost

For as much as you pay to play this course they should have a snack bar open and a ranger or at least let you finish your round. They are always rude here. I've been playing for over 40 years and this place never gets any

better with their service. Employees are so entitled. I love to play the course but I cringe from the time I get there to the time I get tee'd off on number one. Everything is always closed, snack bar, range...carts need to be an hour before sun down.... Whoever runs this takes a great golf course and ruins the experience.

Fun, challenging, and set in the middle of a state park.

Tremendous layout. Challenging but score able.

Anomalous hilly terrain. Deceptively challenging short holes.

Sometimes a bit of a long slog.

Great exercise for walkers.

Historical layout by the army, last modified by pete Dye in 1995.

Unprofessional staff

Made the reservation online. Manager was very rude when asking for my I.D. when I showed up. Since there was 3 in our group and a 4th joined, we asked for another cart. They charged us another $10. We got to the tee box and our 4th was a walker. When we asked for a refund, we were told only the manager could do it and he just left. We could return 3 days later and get it but this employee was very full of himself. Even though it’s my favorite course in Indy, it will be a long time before I return.

The Fort

I've probably played this course 75-100 times over the years and it is the true challenge of course management. With the exception of Mother Nature's whims it is always in good shape. Back in the pre-Dye days it was a ball eating monster.

Play it because it's worth every penny.
