For being the most expensive place in town, you’d think they could at least live up to the expectation. They did not honor the price that I had pre booked on their website, and doesn’t even have water at their water stations when it’s 90 degrees out. Joke

Autumn Ridge is a fantastic course. The facilities offer an excellent venue for outings, events, and golf. The practice facilities are fantastic for a public course. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The course is challenging and rewarding. You can suffer if you play tees longer than your ability. The layout is straightforward and largely rewards second shots from the fairway, but isn’t overly penalizing to errant tee shots. There are some fun risk/reward holes that can lead to a birdie or a triple. The conditions of the course are always maintained to a high standard. I play in multiple outings here each year, including one that I help organize and run, and Autumn Ridge has always been an exceedingly gracious host. Most importantly, they’ve been supportive of my children and their pursuit of learning the game of golf. Highly recommend this course.

My favorite course in fort Wayne. Tee boxes & greens are very well maintained. It is a bit pricey but it will definitely keep the riff raffs out 😂

Today was my first experience at the Autumn Ridge Range. Beautiful property with great amenities, but the evening was tainted by a bad experience with an employee. Sad to see the evening end this way.

Nice, mature course that is challenging enough for the avid golfer. The fairways and greens are very well kept and watered adequately. The rough along the fairways and past the first cut around the greens are dry and hard pan in areas. Would play there again.
