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 especially with the fall colors

Beautiful course very well maintained. Staff is like dealing with people from a business with very old business practices. This is the third time I've played this course and each time the staff was not very friendly.

Another Great Round

In my opinion, The Fort is really the standard for top notch public golf in Indy. Layout is spectacular and never boring, staff is friendly, course is always immaculate. Greens were just punched last week but still rolling more true than many public courses in the area. I'll be taking advantage of their fall rates again before the snow flies.

Great Course but slow pace

My buddy and I were looking forward to playing here. We really loved the course itself, but was disappointed in how they handled the pace of play. We booked as a twosome and they paired us with another twosome, which was no big deal to us. However, there was a twosome in front of us that was holding us up on every single hole and they had a least two holes empty in front of them. Seen one ranger all day and did not seem to care about a twosome holding us up. Had three twosomes behind us that we were holding up but we could not go anywhere..... Also for the price of this course we would of expected GPS on Carts.... Overall Great Course but not worth the price..... would only play here again on a Hot Deal through GolfNow...

Great course with character

Amazing layout, very difficult at times with also done easy scoring holes for any level golfer. Only complaint is greens whe they role true have a lot of ball repair marks. Staff was great, pace of play for a foursome was just under 5 hours which is little long for my liking but overall great course and will definitely go back and play again

Dye is smiling

Fantastic venue and serious challenge.
Used every club to plan the drive, approach and preferred putt angle.
Front nine greens were pock-marked by inconsiderate or unintelligent golfers, but the back nine greens in much better shape.
Drove 3 hours to play with a friend and it was well worth it. Every employee was welcoming and friendly.
Hope to play again soon.

Loved the design. The old growth trees and undulating fairways and greens make it a challenge. Fun to play and would definitely go back.

Great course but the greens need attention

We always have enjoyed playing at The Fort. No issues with the overall conditions except for the greens. The have been very acceptable in the past, generally firm and in good repair. On August 16th, they were extremely pock-marked with unrepaired and/or regrowing ball marks. We had a number of putts that bounced and others that were thrown offline after traversing areas that were not all all smooth. I'm not a turf expert, but the greens looked like they need punching or slitting, top dressing with sand, and rolling.

Hills in the flatland

Gorgeous setting in metro Indy. Hard to fathom the elevation changes in flat corn country but this course reminds you of North Carolina. Another plus is no homes, just golf course. Fairways and bunkers in excellent condition, greens a little beat up, probably from recent rain. Gets a lot of play as well. Played in four hours which sometimes doesn't happen here. Newbies need to play the correct tees...if not, can jam up the whole course.

Great layout!

The course layout is worth how much you pay!!!. The pace of play was 5 1/2 so not great. Got paired up with, which was expected since it is an extremely busy course. Explains why the greens are in horrible conditions. The amount of ball marks, burned out sections and foot traffic make putting a real challenge on top of the course design. No matter the green conditions I would still go back and play again because of the layout.

Fun Day at the Fort

This was my first time playing The Fort and really enjoyed the track. Overall the conditions were very good. The course had held up pretty well to all the rain the region had received, although there were a few pretty mushy areas around. The course is not the most challenging course around although a few holes tested your skills and local knowledge helped on a couple holes. Overall, good solids course that I would definately paly again.

Best course in Indy

It's been awhile since I've been here but it's still in great shape and such a treat. I took customers and they loved it. The layout is fantastic, there is risk reward on the short par 4's and there is plenty of thinking to do on your way aroynd. The greens were a rad slow but received a ball nicely.

beautiful course

The Fort is a beautiful course! Unfortunately we played after a significant amount of rain so it was cart path only which made pace of play unbearable, don't know if it would have been better had conditions been different. We were paired with another twosome which was not what we wanted when we scheduled our time. I'm glad I played the course, it is gorgeous and fun but the other things would probably keep me from returning.

Great Course around Indianapolis

I've played several of the "top tier" public courses around Indy. For the price, this is probably the best. It is located by Fort Harrison State Park, so the scenery there is beautiful. The course was in excellent shape considering the high volume of rain we've gotten in June. Definitely recommend and will definitely be going back again!

Really fun track

Fun and fair. Course drains well after heavy rains so we didn't get washed out! Greens were good condition with exception of hacks not repairing pitch marks.

Fun Round

The course was in great shape. It was a little soggy from all the rain in the last few weeks. There wasn't that much bounce/roll in the fairways or green approaches. It was cart paths only. The greens were firm though. There were a lot of unfixed pitch marks on the greens. I did my part to try and fix as many as I could. The pace of play was fine. We only waited on a few holes. Our foursome finished in about 4.5 hrs, but that was cart path only and we did a lot of walking back and forth. It is a fun and challenging course
