The Fort Golf Course

The Fort Golf Course is a public golf course located in Indianapolis, Indiana, situated on the grounds of the former Fort Benjamin Harrison military reservation, approximately nine miles northeast of downtown. The course was redesigned by renowned architect Pete Dye and Tim Liddy, earning recognition as one of Indiana's premier public courses.

The layout features a challenging design that takes advantage of the natural terrain and landscape of the historic 2,500-acre fort grounds, which was converted to a state park and nature preserve following the military base's closure in 1991. The course has received significant accolades, including recognition in Golf Magazine's "Top Ten Public Courses" list and a 2018 Golf Advisor rating as the #1 course layout in the country.

The Fort's design emphasizes strategic shot-making and incorporates the natural features of the property. The course presents considerable difficulty while offering an engaging experience across its full length. Set within a historic military site with deep roots in American history dating back to 1906, the course blends sporting challenge with distinctive cultural and environmental context, making it notable both for its challenging layout and its unique setting.
