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.Facts

You go play this course
This round started with heavy rain, but by hole 3, the rain went away and I was able to enjoy this round with my Father. This course requires good course management when playing shots, which feels like on every shot. Course layout is great, greens are fair, and staff is wonderful. This course will challenge your skills - go enjoy!
Great day
Always a good time on this course. The rough was extra long so it played very tough!
Your feedback is important to us, Apschwarz12. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing The Fort Golf Resort.
The Fort 5 16 2019
Played here with a buddy that hadnt played this course before. Check in was smooth. The starter was a great guy and we had a nice conversation. The course was in great shape fairways and greens but the bunkers were a little sloppy really really fine sand (nitpicky I know) but there was grass clippings off the fairways and it made for a tough time finding wayward balls. Over all this was a great day on the course and I would certainly recommend this course to all golfers.

Played as a twosome
Zipped around as a twosome being courteously waved through by five groups, fast greens and heavy rough rewarded accuracy. Sometimes this place can be snooty, like they think they are St. Andrews, but didn’t get that this time. Great round.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Captevans. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. The Fort Golf Resort thanks you!

Props to the Ranger
The Fort is in good shape for this time of year. They have an ant problem on a lot of greens that I'm sure they'll attend to in the coming days as the weather continues to improve. That said on this perfect day, we were still trapped in the usual death march that can be found there during the summer until a ranger was nice enough to force the group that was holding up the entire course to stand aside while we played through. Averted what could've been a messy situation as we already had been hit into by the group behind us more than once waiting for these guys in front of us, so it was only a matter of time that someone would've boiled over, and the ranger handled it very professionally.
That said, the course deserves the accolades it gets for the layout, and it's always worth a stop.
DrOldSchool, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Fort Golf Resort.

Great layout, love Pete Dye designed courses
First time to play the course, Great layout.
It was very wet and cart path only.
Played from the white tees just under 6200yds, I love Pete Dye designed courses and tee yardages.
Will definitely play this course many more times but from the blue tees next time.
Definitely Recommend!
Thank you bklein1 as we appreciate your 4-star rating and review. It is great to see you had an enjoyable time on the course and we hope you join us for another round soon here at The Fort Golf Resort.
What a Gem
My favorite public course in Indiana. Outstanding course conditioning. Extremely friendly staff. Very scenic course. Play from the correct tees and this course is challenging but manageable. Select the wrong tees and it will eat your lunch. Very much worth the 2+ hours traveled to play. They offer reasonably priced stay & play packages. Can't wait to return.
Thank you rbachman60 for the fantastic 5-star review of The Fort Golf Resort here in beautiful Indianapolis. We appreciate you taking the time and hope you will let us know if you ever need anything while you are here. Come back and see us again very soon for more of the best golf in town.
The Fort is our favorite!
We love to play this course. Great layout, and the changes in elevation make it unique in the Indianapolis area.
Bad course management
Course looks great but bad course management. Their tee times are booked to close and the rangers do not oversee the course and the speed of play. We were held up the whole front 9. We reached 10 and there was someone driving to the green, a group in the fairway, a group on the tee box, and then us. Horrible course management. There was a outting 9 holes a head of us. Was told only 1 group ahead of us. Come to find out the outting guys started up again ahead of us to play more. Horrible course management. Played in July and almost the exact same thing at 10 minus the outting. A shame since it’s a nice course, at a high price, but the management does not know how to run the course properly. New management could make the course superb if it was managed properly on and off the course.
Great price, excellent course!
The Fort is one of the best courses in the Indianapolis area. It was in fantastic shape today. The greens were rolling fast and true. Every aspect of the course was maintained at a high level. I highly recommend playing here, especially when you can get a great rate via GolfNow!
Great Course, Slow Day
The fort is my favorite layout in Indianapolis. I love the rustic feel and the state park being all around you. I like seeing wild life on the course that you generally don't see in the rest of town. The tees were in good shape, the fairways were perfect and the greens had pock marks all over them. I just assume the course gets played to death because we had an afternoon tee time. It took 4.5 hours for the round and nothing was done about pace of play. I will give the course a go no question, but I would like to see rangers helping expedite the round when a single group is holding up the track.
Good experience
This was a very pleasant experience, even with the slow play. While waiting, it was enjoyable to look at the beautiful views and plants along the way. I found the course to be very "woman friendly ". My husband also enjoyed the course. It had an interesting layout. We weren't used to bent grass greens but they rolled well and we were getting our speed better toward the end. There were some divots in the fairways and a few ball marks on the greens, but the friendliness of the staff made up for that. I hope to play this course again.
Nice Course; Courteous Staff
Hot and humid but a great day for golf on a wonderful course with great people working the desk and as the starter and rangers..
Will play it again.
Thank you for your review, coyneal. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Fort Golf Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
