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.

One of the best courses in Indianapolis

Lots of rain-cart path only.Very windy but playable. I love this course because of the elevation changes and variety of each of the holes.Pace of play was very good-course was not crowded. Got this round on Golf Now for $26/What a deal!!!

Good course

Used every club. Played after a lot of rain and the ground was saturated. Made it very challenging. Would love to come back and play again. Staff were excellent and made our first visit pleasurable

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 and Challenging Course

This my favorite course to play in Indy. The course is challenging and at the price is a good value for how well course conditions are kept at.

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

The genius of Pete Dye

This is my 3rd Pete Dye course to shoot this year, and by far this is his best design yet.
Mature course with the signature Pete Dye rolling fairways, strategically placed traps, set in a forest preserve setting make this one tough course.
Be straight or you've lost your ball. Fast and undulating greens.
Will play again and again!!!

Course is in great shape. Slow greens now because of wetness but will be lightning fast when it dries out. Over all Great Experience. Hit E'm Straight.

Fort

Great course and a decent deal. However, we got behind some members who would not let us play through and that was frustrating.

Beautiful Course!!

Other than a snake on the cart path between 16 & 17, ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT COURSE! My only complaint would be the difficulty of the pin placements. Some really challenging putting. But that's good and fun. Perfectly manicured. Most scenic course in town!

tremendous layout

Course was in excellent shape with ladies big ten tournament having just been played on course. Accuracy off tee is paramount due to high rough etc. Beautiful scenery on course and one needs to occasionally "ingest" the beauty of this course.

Mountain golf in central Indiana

I've played The Fort a couple of dozen times. The condition was as good as I've ever seen it. It's like playing golf in the mountains. A great course, will be back soon.

Best public course in the state

Got a killer deal ($20/head) to play on Mother's Day Sunday afternoon. First time here and I'll definitely be back. Beautiful but very challenging course. Lots of sand and undulating fairways, huge premium on accuracy. It was cart path only the day we played, but I didn't mind it and it wasn't too crowded to slow us down. If you see a good deal for the Fort ($30 or less) consider it a steal and book it!

Not worth the money

After loading our cart we were told it was cart path only. This is not a course for a 67 yr old to walk. You had to look HARD to find a soft spot on the course, anything in the fairways was firm and dry. the only soft spots we found were in low lying areas of the rough.The tees were in terrible shape. I have seen tees on 20 dollar courses in better shape. The greens for the most part were in good shape and fast. The course is a beautiful piece of property, it's a shame that it isn't in the shape it should be in for the money charged.
