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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Pete Dye design

Played The Fort on October 8, 2013. It had rained the days before so the course was super soft. The course had a state park feel to it and lucky for Indy it was designed by a master. What a deal. $45 on golf now, can't beat that, course is worth much more. Drove an hour and a half to get there but will definitely make that drive again.

Beautiful terrain...

Great golf course, however was very disappointed in the condition of the greens. Would not pay regular price for this course in its current condition. There are city courses with greens in better condition...

Good condition

The greens are nice and much better than last year. Good pace at 9 or 10 on stimpmeter but not too fast. Fairways are a bit soggy in low spots but otherwise good.

The Fort is the Fort, which is good.

The Fort is one of the more unique courses around.....long, no houses, lots of hills and a real "old feel." Course looks tougher than it is if you're not greedy .... But I'm here to 'play golf' so I'm in trouble a lot. Holes 5, 6 and 18 are my favorite. Some of the greens were a little chewed, but it's a municipal for crying out loud, so it's more than acceptable. If you haven't played the Fort, you've missed a real gem.

Superb golf course, Outstanding staff

This is a magnificent golf course. The layout is beautiful as with most Pete Dye courses. Fast, true greens. Excellent practice areas. The Fort is probably the best public course I have ever played. I played on a Monday which was a discout day but the full rate is still a bargain.

Excellent condition, tough.

This was our 3rd time to play The Fort, probably in the best condition we've seen. The greens were very fast, and the course is tough if you don't hit it straight, like me. When out on the course it doesn't seem like Indianapolis.

Course conditions

It was my first time playing "The Fort" and I thoroughly enjoyed the track. It had a great layout, but the green were not in very good shape. The greens had a lot of ball marks, which made it rough for putting. The fairways were in great shape, but the sand traps were very hard, clay base. I will definitely be back to play it again.

Must play for for the right price.

A little slow on some holes probably due to holiday. Always enjoy playing here when possible.
