Indiana Golf Journal January 2022

Brickyard Crossing Golf at Brickyard Crossing is a blend of golf and motor sports as the course sits adjacent to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Dye redesigned the Brickyard Crossing Golf Club with 14 holes situated on the outskirts of the Speedway and four holes located within the infield of the Racing Capital of the World. The infield holes are accessible via a tunnel, under the actual racetrack. All pins have black-and-white checkered flags with the logo of the IMS sewn across the flag. So, when you play Brickyard Crossing, you get 18 checkered-flag experiences. The Fort Golf Course The Fort Golf Course is one of the finest public golf courses in the Midwest. In fact, on the home page of this golf course’s website, it’s stated that The Fort Golf Course is one of the “best golf courses you can play in Indiana.” “Our course is surrounded by the Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park, so there are no residential homes on the course,” said John Swan, head golf professional at The Fort. Golf has been played here since the early 1950s by U.S. Army personnel. The golf course was originally called the Fort Harrison Officers Club and Golf Course. Things changed for the better in 1998 after the re-design by Pete Dye and Tim Liddy. Located 25 minutes from downtown Indianapolis, The Fort has three on-site housing options, Fort Harrison State Park Inn, Harrison House, and Officer’s Home.
