Another great Fortress round
Another great trip around The Fortress, hopefully not our last for the 2026 season. Great friendly staff and fantastic course and conditions.
Excellent course
Course was green as ever for being mid-October, greens were aerated but still rolled well. Except course.
Nice course
I went on a weekend and the pace of play was not the best, but it's a relatively technical course and I enjoyed playing right at the edge of my ability here. I would have liked to see a ranger have a conversation with some of the groups that combined to produce 5 and 8 somes. That would have improved the pace of play a little bit. But I did choose a busy weekend so I expected to take almost 5 hours for 18. And that's exactly what I got. 4:40
Incredibile course
Congratulations to all the staff, fairways so good, greens like gold. So rare lately to find such conditions! Great staff too a what a landscape! Great great great!
Great course!!
Good course layout, friendly staff. Its my favorite course!!
Great conditions not exactly my type of layout
Course is in great condition. We started out on the back nine which if I remember correctly was more individual holes but the front 9 had a few of go down one side turn around and come back down the other side.. just prefer courses that have individual holes without the holes being right next to each other.
The greens also had some tricks to them based where my approach shot ended. usually I appreciate, this but I didn’t putt well as I was not reading them correctly.
Excellent golf course. The maintenance is impeccable. My only recommendation is for players to repair their divots in the fairway and repair ball marks on the green -- keep the course beautiful and playable for other players.
Bring your mini driver.
The fortress is a very nice course. I cannot say that there’s one thing wrong with the course at all. The greens are great. The fairways are good. The teasers are good. The scenery is good. The only thing I would say is bring your mini driver because if you are wild off the tee with driver, it’s going to be a very long day.
The Fortress Delivers
I played with my two bff's on a beautiful Monday afternoon. Staff was above helpfull and gracious. I love the electric cart! Additional bucket of range balls at no cost! Fairways impeccable. Fescue was fiesty. Traps are strategic and deep. The different tees brought several unique variations to the holes. Water hazards were not plentiful, but when in play they became a factor. Greens were about an 11 and ran true . Many different levels on several greens brought increased ball placement consideration. Well worth the trip. I must return, left my wedge and towel on the coirse, and they are keeping it for me.
Amazing day at our favorite course
We had a blast yesterday. When we came into the facility getting met by cart attendants to the pro shop then the golf course was in great conditions. We will be coming back soon!
Foretress
Course was in very good condition. Greens were smooth and rolled pure.
