About Zehnder's Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark
The Zehnder's Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark was built for family getaways, but golfers can stay to enjoy a round at the nearby Fortress, long considered one of mid-Michigan's toughest and best tracks. The Zehnder's family has transformed Frankenmuth into a vacation getaway convenient for metro Detroiters. The chicken dinners at Zehnder's Restaurant have become a Michigan staple.Facts

Stellar Course
The course was in exceptional shape. Played mid week mid morning and finished in 3.5 hrs. Greens in terrific playing condition....fast and true. Well worth a drive up to Frankenmuth.
Hidden Gem
Yes it’s worth the trip!! What an amazingly conditioned golf course l, best greens on a public course in Michigan (including Arcadia and forest dunes). Big shout out to the Agronomy team, greens rolling about a 12, and almost not an imperfection to be found. Drive an hour and a half and would do it again. I’m sure most people in the area think it’s too much to pay (per the complaints I read). If this course was in Detroit it would be $100 easy
Very nice
This course is real gem. Position golf is more important that bomb and chase. Course is a mix of links style and tree lined holes, if you keep it in the fairway it is really enjoyable. Staff was great and they treated us to a great day all around.
Tough From the tips
Played the tips - 6850 yds, 140 slope. Many long par 4s that will give your long irons a go. Greens are smooth but tricky.
You need to play this course once before you even think about scoring well.
The Back 9 was much more challenging than the front - 15 and 16 will be tough to figure out the first time around.
Course was in great shape and hole 13 was amazing.
Beautifully Challenging
The Fortress was in perfect condition. The course is playable, but difficult. The finishing holes (16-18) are very difficult. The greens were fast and true, but not too firm to hold good iron shots. The green complexes are awesome. If you want to avoid three putting, you MUST put the ball in the right location on the green. The greens are very pleasing to look at, but the severe undulations made it almost impossible to stop a first putt anywhere close to many of the holes for pin location number 4. $49 in the fall is more costly than other courses in the area, especially when many other resorts have shifted to value packages with stay and play including unlimited golf. I look forward to playing The Fortress again. It was a very enjoyable experience.
