Golfing on the City Greens: Foster Golf Course

Conveniently located just south of downtown, Foster Park Golf Course features an 18-hole, par-71 course with a rich history.

NOTE for Summer 2025: Utilities work at Foster Park has created temporary changes for the golf course this summer. As a result, the front and back nines have been reversed. Additionally, four holes will play from shorter tees, and the par for the course will be 35/35-70.

Hit the Links at Foster Park Golf Course

Centered in the middle of Foster Park, golfers experience a true taste of nature while they play near the St. Marys River and surrounding woods.

Foster Park Golf Course, which opened in 1928, was also the first public golf course in Fort Wayne. The well-manicured greens feature intermittent bunkers, and the course is walker-friendly, although electric golf carts are available for a nominal fee.

Operation hours are from sunrise to 30 minutes before sunset — but may be adjusted due to inclement weather. Call ahead to confirm.
