Fort Golf Course Resort
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

Great Course, bugs out of control!
One of the best tracks in Indy area. I have played everything out there in Indy or within an hour of Indy and The Fort is hands down one of my favorites. Course was in great shape. The only thing I can complain about were the bugs were out of control, especially on the back. Made putting very difficult as they were constantly in your eyes and around your face. Not sure if the course can do anything about this, probably more of a product of early summer in IN.
Put this on your MUST PLAY list
This was my first time at the Fort golf course. The course was in great condition. We played right after a morning scramble so it was wide open in front of us. The course plays tough. The rough area is small and sometimes overgrown. So, you will pay dearly for any mistakes. If I play this course again, I would back off from driver on many of the holes. Definitely a course for course management. Thanks to the gentleman in the pro shop for missing my Pete Dye card and stamping the back of my hand. Ha. Nice to meet a friendly staff instead of stiff shirts.
GREAT GOLF COURSE
Fantastic layout and staff.
Brad Fellers is the best teacher around.
Great Track, Lots of Fun
This is easily the best course in Indianapolis. I played on in the afternoon on Memorial day. This means the course saw heavy traffic for 2 and a half days before I got on and the course was still in great shape. The course is challenging, there are several holes with forced carries, and the rough is thick. Additionally, many holes will leave you shooting to targets that are either below or elevated from where you are shooting so club selection is critical. There are some relatively easy holes too that can give you a false sense of ease. My only criticisim is with the yardage. I like to play roughly 6500 and there really isn't too much of an option for that. You're either short 6,200 yards from the white tees or long 6,800 yards from the blue. For someone who is a mid to low 'capper or someone who really wants a challenge this course is a must.
Very nice,, Challenging, Slow
The group in front of us was allowed to tee off 15 minutes late. They got slower and slower. No ranger in sight. Three of the goups that were playing behind us quit. Besides that, a very challenging course, in excellent shape. I guess I would say play during the week, but definitely worth the wait.
Early Season Round
The greens were rolling slow. Usually they are pretty quick. Front nine played fast but we ran into a back up on the back nine. Would have been nice to have a ranger out there to speed up play.
Poor course and staff
The course had standing water on fairways and greens. The staff was more worried about collecting money and getting us on the course. Would not offer refund or replay. Would never play there again!
Very disappointed!
Poor conditions and staff
Staff just want to get you on the course and collect their money.
The course had standing water on the fairways and greens.
No refund offered
Waste of time and money.
Great Course
The course is tough but fair. The rough was fairly deep so if your ball ends up there, it's fairly tough to find and really tough to play out of. Greens are fast and firm. Very well maintained.
excellent service
This is a great course and the staff was just excellent. They made our group feel like we were welcome and happy to have us visit and play. Best customer service I've seen at a golf course in quite a while.
Tee time as single
I made this time thru golf now as a single. The tee time they gave me the group had 4 already. If there wasn't a threesome in the time slot before the one I was given and the starter talked them into allowing me to play with them, they said I would have to be worked in. I would not have stayed and waited for that. If they are going to offer the option to book as a single they should have tighter controls.
The course is great and well manicured. Pin spots were on the tough side on ridges and close to edges for the weekend, made for a little longer round due to the time required on the greens. Great piece of property and Dye did a great job of designing it.
Favorite Indianapolis course
This is my favorite course in Indianapolis. Wooded, hilly golf course with one scenic tee followed by another.
Fort-ified!
This course was in fantastic shape for this time of year. I had not played here for a few years and was quite pleased with the changes. It is very interesting without being impossible. And what a treat to play without hearing road noise.
One of the best tracks!
I absolutely love this course. Always in great shape even right after the winter we have had. During the summer the greens roll true and fast. I look forward to playing The Fort again.
december golf
I have played at the fort before and every time is like the first time. it is by far my favorite course in the state of Indiana. I would like to become a member if I could afford it.
Beautiful scenic course
I haven't played this course in 2 years and it looks like the superintendent has it back in GREAT shape. If you haven't played this course you should. It is one of the Indy 's best courses!
Challenging yet playable
Played late in the season and yet it was quite clear that the course is still being well cared for. Enjoyed my round. Almost no water on course and fairways are reasonably wide enough to hit. A lot of traps protect frequently elevated greens. Greens run quite true. In summary, certainly worth the discounted price I paid through GolNow.
Paradise
I thoroughly enjoyed myself golfing at the fort. The course has a variety of fairway challenges. There are no lack of elevations, bunkers, trees and even some water. The greens, fairways, tees were immaculate. It is a must for all who golf. With the Golf Now rates it is a gift to play here. If you have never golfed at the Fort you are missing a great experience.
Beautiful course. Challenging. Well maintained. No houses. Wide tree lined fairways will hilly slopes and typical Pete Dye greens. A must play course.
Very nice course. Well maintained. Beautiful tree lined fairways. Somewhat hilly. Fun to play. Good rates on Golf Now for this course.
Prettiest public course in Indianapolis
The course was in great shape! The greens were playable and the fairways were also very well groomed. Great setting! Hard to believe it is so close to the city and interstate, very secluded.
