HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA

Golf Guide 2017

Tee up the perfect getaway. THE FORT GOLF RESORT

“Hamilton County is the only area in the state that is home to three courses on the iconic Pete Dye Golf Trail. The Fort, Plum Creek, and Brickyard Crossing span the design acumen of the now 90 year-old Indiana native Dye, and all are three absolute joys to play.”
