Cart path only

I learned to call the course before booking online as it was cart path only for no good reason at all and everyone that works there agreed. Minus the superintendent

Terrible staff, Great Course

The course itself is excellent and a Pete Dye beauty. Pretty well maintained, although it can get run down in the later summer months. It is very challenging at times but rewarding in spots. A true gem in Central Indiana. The staff, on the other hand, are consistently a challenge to deal with... almost always rude, particularly in the pro shop. This was again the case for my first time at The Fort this season. Just unacceptable for $100+ (on weekends) course in Indiana. I will say the starter recently has been excellent, although that wasn't always the case.

I'm local and have played here 20+ times and always know going in the pro-shop staff will be an older man who will likely struggle with the basic technology and be down-right rude. If your lucky, minimally cordial. I try to manage my expectations knowing that the course is worth it but with the pace of play being awful and Cart Path Only on a dry and sunny day, it will likely be my last time at The Fort, which is a pity. This Pete Dye masterpiece deserves better!

Pricey, but great course

One of the best layouts in our city and is in great early condition. Staff could be friendlier and price is a bit steep for Indy.

Beautiful Course

This course was so much fun to play and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. For it being November there was still a lot of green out there.

Great course!

Great layout and course that feels like you are not playing golf in Indiana. Pace of play was slower than normal on a busy fall day.

Best court in Indiana!

I cut my teeth on this course back in the 80’s. It was tough then. Mr Dye has made it even tougher!
In my opinion it’s my “Augusta.”

Come play it, keep it in the short grass!
