Fantastic Round at The Fortress

First time playing The Fortress. 1 hour drive up I-75 and was greeted by friendly staff and welcoming fairways. Greens rolled consistent and true. Very attackable course if your driver and wedges are working well. Conditions were fantastic, the course is well manicured, plays absolutely pure and the layout is great. I have played many of the top courses in the state and this course is easily in my personal top ten. Modest family owned vibe but just a fantastic, fair and fun course.

Wet Conditions!

The Foetress is an excellent golf course. It had rained the night before so it was cart packed h only. GPS on the carts is another great amenity.

Always a nice place to play

The Fortress is an outstanding golf course. Very well manicured. REALLY nice greens....good speed and, more importantly, consistent speed between greens. As usual, golfers could be a little better job fixing pitch marks. The staff is friendly and the starter did a fantastic job getting everyone on the course in a timely manner. I always look forward to playing this golf course.

Great Course / Great Value

I would be hard pressed to find a better course anywhere near the golfnow price I paid! My home course had an outing, so I booked at 7:30am and teed off at 9:00am. I was paired up with 2 seniors and we had a great time. We did quite a bit of searching for balls due to the difficulty of the course coupled with the wind on this day, but our round was still 4 hours at a very relaxed pace. I highly recommend looking at this course when in the area!

Great course

Overall a great experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Kyle took a few minutes as I was paying to let me know the features and local rules for the course. That doesn't happen all of the time these days. Played with 2 others that had booked tee times as singles and had an enjoyable round. Course can be quite challenging if your game is off a little. Greens have a lot of undulations so proximity to the pin on approach is key. Definitely would play again.
