Reviews of The Fort Golf Resort (Golf)

Fred Cunningham

Excellent condition. Interesting pin placements. Fun and challenging

Charles Weber

Good place to have fun.

Mike Sorbin

I enjoyed the course. Got to get out and play from KC on way to Niagara Falls with two other guys Chad and Matt. My wife looked up reviews of area courses and this was on the top of the list! Challenging yet fun. Helps to play with some people that know the course because there is strategy to your shots! Enjoy!

Carmen Tinner

Great atmosphere. I like the sunday brunch.

patrick oconnor

Get to forget you’re in Indiana for 4 hours.

Jim Karol

Course was worth the trip from Illinois. Will play again.

Robert Murphy

First visit and was quite disappointed. Long wait to get in because only one lane for paying and season holders until lane separates very near entrance building. Also no information to be found, once you finally find the information Center, about where lake is or even May be located. I came today to try fishing and did not even find the lake.1

Jason Patterson

Good food

Melissa Byram

A beautiful course in the wilderness. It is long for women.

Richmond Bailey

Extremely poor service, in fact none I was ignored as a restaurant guest. Don't bother!

Terry Russell

Ate Sunday brunch, which is very good and not too pricy. Service is excellent.

Jason Buck

The course is in great shape and the addition of "@ 9" making each par 3 an opportunity to win a Breitling watch every time you play a differentiator when choosing courses. Good stuff. Appreciate their willingness to innovate!

Dean Trester

Brunch at the Garrison is fantastic. Ask about their delicious coffee.

Grant Pine

Great facilities top course we probably didn't do course justice.

James Capron

Just a great place to play golf.

Russell Gilley

Amazing and beautiful. Highly recommend it!

Robert M

Great buffet, great food and great service...if they had beer and wine, it'd be an easy 5 stars...

Forrest Adam

One of Pete Dye's better courses in the area. Best course for the money in Indy

Daniel Briggs

Great golf course in a very nice setting

Mimí73 Midnight

I have enjoyed this brunch every time I've been here. It's wonderful! They have a full range of items to choose from, an omelet bar, waffle bar, and a meat bar that always contains salmon, prime rib, and a different other meat depending on the season I guess. It's elegant, with table cloth, cloth napkins, heavy silverware, and nice glass cups.

Adam Beltramo

Visited the driving range, fortunately it was pretty vacant. Great range and tough green to hit from. Worth the trip!

Robert Trimpl

Great place for gatherings like birthday etc

Jean Davenport12

Great place for luncheons, etc. Delicious food choices on their buffet. Reasonable prices.

Stephon W. Jones

The Friday Fish Fry at the Garrison formerly the Officer's Club was excellent!

Quentin Collins

One of the nicest public courses in Indiana. A challenging course for sure.

Tammy Lawrence

Very beautiful.

Cory Bolt

Excellent course. Best in Indy area.

Rob Walters

Not a bad dinner

Precious Bell

The fried chicken was good.

Ron Jarvis

nice place

Tim Coady

Scenic well condition, will not disappoint

Andrew Newell

The Sunday brunch buffet has to be one of the best I've ever been to. Really decked out with a meat carving station and a waffle/omelet station. And you can walk it off at the park!

Steven Holloway

Beautiful topography and golf course but typical for a public course, needs a lot of maintenance. Fun day though!

Wally Miner

A true beauty hidden in Indy

David Craig

We had an office golf outing and had lunch and dinner catered. Everything was perfect. The folks at the golf course and the caterers we're great to deal with. I can't recommend them enough. Great course, location and people.

Joseph Loukota

Challenging course always in great condition!

David Thornburg

What a great golf course. We played 36 holes. This is a have to play course in the Indianapolis area. You will really enjoy it. Some tough holes but beautiful course

Vern Smith

Very nice course. A bit challenging on a few holes. Lost a couple balls within 10' of green. A little more expensive than some others but totall worth it!

MYCHEALE GRUNDY-BRYANT

Snooty, Food was not all that good

floyd proctor

Looks real nice

L A

This is a very good place with good food. Highly recommend it.

Matt Deiters

Hard but fun

Hoosier88

Fabulous course layout and condition was excellent! Very hilly! Beautiful place to play a round of golf. Golf carts could use some upgrades including maybe attaching a ball washer, club cleaner or gps. There was no drink cart either while playing

Chris Wilkey

Great course. I hope to go back next week when the leaves are changing a little more.

Gabriel Carlson

Stunning tough course with housing on the course. This was a great setup for our weekend Ryder Cup golf trip. The course was in great shape and the environmental areas for the birds and other wildlife throughout the course makes for a beautiful layout. Although this created some lost balls, these areas added so much more! The staff was great and the proshop was loaded with everything you need. Around the course was plenty to eat if needed.

Scott Minnich

Beautiful hilly course that is exceptionally maintained. Plays tough with the hills and large sand traps, but fairways are typically wide. A great place to spend a few hours.

Carl Miller

I’ve had the chance to play The Fort a couple times now and I’ve never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly and a joy to interact with, and the course is challenging, but excellent. While the price is on the higher end of the golf budget, it is a great option for the Indianapolis area and definitely beats the quality of other courses nearby. Try scheduling a visit via GolfNow to snag a Hot Deal or play in the mid-afternoon (2:30-4:00pm) to get a better deal for the round.

Michael Collins

Food there is very delicious

R Mary Harless

Food mediocre. Service very good.

Warren Duncan

Course was in great shape and the staff was helpful and friendly.

Patrick Clark

Really enjoyed our stay. Everone should consider making Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park a destination.

TIM Hutson

Amazing course right in my own back yard.

Doc Hinshaw

Good food. Nice atmosphere.

Prosperity Enrichment

Excellent. Everytime I go

Timothy Moorehead

The range is spacious and a great place to practice. Course layout and design is fantastic but maintenance has room to improve

Andy Engle

I really like The Fort, what a great golf course! It's a little pricey to play there, but arguably one of the best golf courses in Indianapolis, if not all of Indiana.

Kenny Gooch

Such a great course. Lots of elevation changes, which is rare for Indiana. Greens are huge and the entire course is well manicured. Driving ranch, putting green and separate chip/pitch are a with full green and sand traps are available as well. Club house is historical and well kept.

mark johnson

Very enjoyable.

Eddie Cuaya

Can I be 13 and work as a caddy it can be a good way to make money and lose weight at the same time that what my cousin tells me so please someone reach out and tell me if I can work as a caddy at age 13.

LaTasha Smaw

Too long of a wait to be seated. Took too long in cleaning tables.

Red and Mack Williams

We are at the Garrison and it's phenomenal! Great staff everywhere, we give it all the stars!!!

Diane Riddle

Course layout a 5. Course condition a 2. Rain and a holiday during the week might be excusable. Plenty of staff, but not doing much for the golfing experience. Will give it another chance, hope they do some customer service training

Thomas Sult

It was very disappointing! The course is in terrible shape and play was very slow! Way over rated and priced!

Jeff Kissel

Awesome as is typical for a Pete Dye layout, especially the last five holes. Some pretty bad bare spots in the fairways/tees which is why it isn't 5 stars. The rough was nasty tough.

GK Howard

Great treat, plenty of food and excellent customer service.

jeff zimmerman

Good place to stay close to downtown and close to the zoo.

Dr. Marty White

Unfortunately, a golf course that I enjoy playing was tainted by pro shop staff that was not friendly, rude and more interested in arguing than providing good customer service. When I checked in for golf I questioned why the rate was more than what was displayed on the online booking system. He stated that my friend who booked the tee time called to book it rather than use the online system and therefore we didn't get the better rate. I also overheard another staff member giving another customer an additional $5 off because the range was closed due to wet conditions. When I asked my friend as we were playing how he booked the tee time he most definitely made the tee time online. After our round of cart path only, extremely soggy conditions and no driving range, we went back into the pro shop to again inquire why we didn't get the online rate. The man working by himself was much more interested in arguing with us and trying to be "right" than he was at providing good customer service and acted as though he had no ability to adjust our rate. When I told him about the $5 discount given to the other group due to the closed range, he simply said "I have no idea what that was all about". I drove 2 hours to play this course and have done so for many years but I will not be returning next year nor will my other friends who played with me. There are too many nice courses that appreciate my business and wouldn't treat us this way. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because I do like the golf course layout.

anthony gardini

Except the cart girl, nobody does their job here. 5 hour round for 2 people , pace of play a disaster because the ranger is almost incoherent. Some of the greens are beat to hell. Layout is fun and the beer is cold. I'd actually play it again because ol' Pete designed a nice course, but let's upgrade the staff and amenities here.

Karen Williams

Went there for Christmas Banquet. We had the whole place with band. Our organization does this every year then go back for breakfast the next morning. Food and service is excellent.

Jared Campbell

All around good. Greens were nice and quick. Not as much sand as the starter will have you believe

Dillon Alexander

Drove 3.5 hours to play this course and couldn't be happier with it. Beautiful shape and well designed course. Scenic and pleasant the whole time. Nice to see a course with rangers out and helping play along when needed, but not nagging you inappropriately. My only complaint is that for the price the carts need to have ball and club washers on them,

Darcy Ernst

Attended a wedding here- it was absolutely beautiful!

Larry LaFoe

An incredible as well as reasonable buffet. Great dining with incredible service.

Patricia Chapple

Beautiful Golf course, if you are looking for a challenge then you need to play here.

Deanna Holmes

This is a world class Pete Dye course. A must play when visiting Indiana

Rick Bachman

Amazing course that is scenic and challenging. Friendly & professional staff. Course conditioning was excellent. Exceptional prices on greens fees and merchandise. First class operation. Worth the 2+ hour drive. Will definitely return.

Ryan Roudebush

Love this layout! The greens are a little beat up...not unexpected as it's getting later in the season, but wish the course would do a little bit to smooth them out. Fairways were very good except for just a couple spots.

Wayne Hotko

Loved the layout and the scenic holes, but the condition of the tees (white) and greens showed a lot of play and neglect. For the rates I was surprised the carts had no GPS, not even informational flip cards of the holes. Only map was on the back of the score card.

Mark Gall

This is a tough, but very good golf course. The grounds are well maintained and the greens are nice.

Phil Metzger

If yoy enjoy golf. You must play at the Fort.

John Moran

Wow what an amazing course. Beautiful layout. I didn't know there was such elevation near the city, reminded me of courses in Pennsylvania. Pete Dye is a golf design guru and this course is typical Dye. Awesome greens. This is our first stop on the Pete Dye Golf Trail. We aim to get in all 7. But now that we have played here we will be back. A must play course in Indianapolis!

Andrew Sullivan

Fun course. Wish the carts had GPS.

Joe Daigle

Beautiful course,balls actually roll in the fair ways

Amanda Lufcy

Fantastic Staff in Banquet Hall! Beautiful facility.

Bill Breen

Nice course. And it isn't easy. Plays Lg.

Irene Martinez

Beautiful ❤️

brad Wilson

Wonderful atmosphere

Matt Anderson

Great golf course! Friendly staff on the course.

John McClellan

One of the best golf courses in Indiana... maybe even in the region; for a public access course, It's special! I've been playing the course since the late '90s. Love the Property!

Keith Heitman

Great buffet at a very reasonable price, service well exceeds expectations. If you work in the food service industry, I recommend you go there to learn how table service should be performed.

carrie welder

Nicest course we play all year. Bring lots of ammo. You will need it.

David Arnold

Amazing beautifully manicured course, and a challenge for all. A bit pricier but worth it for a change of routine.

ray smith

Once trained here in military journalism. Good to see it repurposed with veteran housing and a park. Utilizing it as part of a new 50-mile, 1day walk.

Ken Bagwell

One of the best the public can play in Indiana. Pretty course. Kept in great shape.

Jenn Bowers

Beautiful place for wedding party photos.

Fred Altvater

Pete Dye course on old US Army base, NE corner of Indianapolis.

Fred Faude

My favorite course in central Indian. Difficult from back tees, but very playable up. Beautiful holes, especially in the fall

Expert Reviewer

Not a bad course it's something different

M V

Awesome course. Challenging and beautiful.

Darlene Blair

went fishing here. it was ok.

Rudolph Finnell

Great food in restaurant.

Charles Roberts

Very beautiful layout

Troy Barnes

One of the most fun, scenic and challenging tracks in Indy. Quite hilly and wooded for central Indiana too, which adds to the enjoyment. Highly recommend!

Candi Scheuermann

Great Sunday brunch!

Ashley Higgins

Food was excellent and the service was great.

latasha reed

Bruch was great!

Anthony Ricketts

Challenging golf course with alot of hills... the course was in great shape with the exception on a few greens that had been beat up a little but thats expected at a public course near a city... overall I had a great experience at The Fort

Tim Adams

Great course, always one of my favorite Indiana golf courses!!!

Mark Miller

Beautiful course, challenges you to be straight, grass is holding up well when other courses in the area are having trouble

Raul Najera

Great course with challenging holes. Par 5's are 500yds +! Will definitely be back!

Justin Wray

Heard good things about this course and not disappointed. Good conditions and fun course. Nice smooth greens.

Michael Riley

Course is well maintained. Greens were in good shape. Would play again. Will group people if course is busy

nona dolan

Great golf day at the Fort! Staff was very welcoming, courteous, and knowledgeable. From the pro-shop to the starter (who offered up some history about the course and advice on how to handle the greens). The beverage cart was there when we needed it, which was suprising considering how busy the course was. Also Ranger Max was personable, it was a pleasure meeting him. Then there was the course itself! Beautifully laid out, kudos to Pete Dye, well kept and challenging. Loved the scenery. The greens for me were hard to read, definitely needed to take the staters advice. If I had to make any complaint (which is hard to do) it's quite obvious that this course was designed and maintained with heart and pride, it would be nice if more players would fix their divots. We will definitely return to this course.

Evan S.

Course is in great condition and not very crowded each time I have played it this summer. Starters are always great guys and a great course for any avid golfer! Would highly recommend!

Charles Goff

Great day!

JT Bellush

An incredible upgrade by Pete dye.

Aj Lauber

Decent price golf for a beautiful course. Friendly helpful staff

Chaczea Wilson

Nice

Brian Nienhaus

Great customer service and the store is well maintained which makes the shopping experience awesome.

Caleb Hill

The best golf course in Indianapolis in my opinion. The layout is challenging but very fair, the grounds are always in great shape. the group of teaching and Club fitting professionals are second to none. Only minor gripes are that it's usually pretty busy and they don't have GPS on the carts.

Norma Cordell

Very nice buffet brunch.

Neal Walther

Favorite course in Indy!

Dave Ricklefs

Looks nice. Played there '66-'68 when it was 9 holes. When I was in the service.

Craig Summitt

Very nice sunday brunch with omelet and waffle station, prime rib, ham and full buffett of breakfast, lunch and dinner foods.

Thomas Peet

Great place for lunch or golf!

Terry Troxell

Stop by for lunch. Excellent selection and great service but the chocolate layer cake was dry.

zenjiedo

The Garrison is always a nice experience but lunch is somewhat limited. Your experience will be better at brunch on Saturday and Sunday

Jimmy Y

The club house was very nice.. was recently there for a wedding reception and all of the staff we interacted with were great.

Jason Lewin

Good place to golf

Jon Spann

A Beautiful and challenging round of golf! The course provides plenty of variety requiring all clubs.

Ernest Stewart

The course is well layedout and well groomed. Fair to the average golfer and challenging enough for scratch golfers. Staff is very friendly and polite.

Dave Phillips

Best range in city I think.

Tequila Wright

It's a nice place to play golf and rest assure until you're ready to leave!

Sean Stevens

Went there for retreat.. Great dining area excellent food..

Michael Metcalf

Reservations needed for Sunday brunch

Becca Anderson

Great course, very well kept and managed. Staff was all friendly and helpful and kept groups ahead of us moving.

Travis Harris

Awesome

Chris Painchaud

Gorgeous course and very nice practice range too. Pro shop staff very friendly

Vance Maxwell

Great golf course

James Ward

Great shape. Fairways are tightly mowed, rough is up, greens are firm, fast, and consistent.

Joshua Pounds

Quality coarse but you have to walk on waaaaay to many holes

Chris Laros

I posted 5 stars but for some reason my finger must have slipped. What a great course - actually the best in Indy. Great views, great upkeep great facility! Saw deer and other wildlife - you dont even realize you are 20 min from downtown! AMAZING COURSE!!

gary shull

Wonderful course Beautiful views

Robert l Thomas

Had some weird people who think it is ok to hit into your group. Other wise okay.

Will Gish

Outstanding course. Friendly staff. Very well kept.

Jeremy Curtis

If you like golf courses with a scenic view on every hole then you need to play The Fort. Great day of golf!!!!

TS sakota

Great place to play! Challenging course with elevation changes and some great holes. If it's very wet plan on cart path only which could be a lot of walking. Still worth playing.

scottie B

It waa really in great condition, fairways were tight (i dont perfer them but) the greens rolled nice and true...Dont over play breaks. You dont need to tee off with driver every hole. Its a must to play distance versus length...longer is not always better here. I did play the white tee . So blue or black could be different.

Jean Boothe

Very good food. Veggies could have been a little warmer. Everything was good

Steve Brannen

The Fort is a well laid out track with many challenges for the low an high handicapper. Keeping it in the short grass will be rewarded, but veering off the track will cost you.

STEUART wysong

Very nice course!

Michael Linnes

Great course!

John Cadick

Great track in good condition for the time of year. Pro shop staff and starter were all friendly and professional.

Mike Ransom

Beautiful surroundings and course. Challenging, especially from back tees. Costs a bit more to play. Need to confirm if tee times available for non-military players.

Kim Garmany

Conference Buffett good
