ARLINGTON PARK GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Fort Wayne, IN, USA
Designed by Duane Dammeyer
Arlington Park Golf Course sits on the southeast side of Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving as a municipal facility in a city with a long tradition of accessible public golf. Designed by Duane Dammeyer and opened in the mid-1960s, the course reflects the straightforward, playable approach common to municipal designs of that era. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain typical of northeast Indiana, with mature tree plantings now defining fairway corridors and framing approach shots on many holes.
The routing makes efficient use of the property, with several holes playing alongside one another in traditional out-and-back fashion. Water features come into play on a handful of holes, adding strategic interest to an otherwise parkland setting. The course measures modest in length by contemporary standards, placing emphasis on accuracy and course management rather than raw distance. Greens are generally accessible, though mature trees require thoughtful navigation on tee shots and approaches.
Arlington Park functions as a neighborhood course within Fort Wayne's municipal system, providing affordable golf to residents and visitors. The facility includes a practice area and clubhouse with basic amenities typical of city-operated courses. Its role in the local golf community centers on accessibility and playability for golfers of varying skill levels, maintaining the democratic spirit of mid-century public course design in the Midwest.
