BRICKYARD CROSSING Brickyard Crossing is a blend of golf and motor sports, as the routing of the course runs both inside and outside the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Brickyard Crossing has 14 holes situated on the outskirts of the Speedway and four holes within the infield of the Racing Capital of the World. To reach those four infield holes, you drive through a tunnel, under the track. The Speedway’s grandstands are always lurking in the background, but they never impact play. THE FORT (Indianapolis) The Fort is considered one of the finest public golf courses in Indiana. “The Fort is a very enjoyable golf course and very secluded, yet only 25 minutes from downtown Indianapolis,” said John Swan, head golf professional at The Fort. “Our course is surrounded by the Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park, so there are no residential homes on the course.” Originally called the Fort Harrison Officers Club and Golf Course, the course was re-designed by Dye and his associate Tim Liddy in 1998 and re-named The Fort.
