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.

Worth the trip

Drove 90 minutes to play on a Wednesday and it didn’t disappoint. Food and drink offerings were great and the course was in excellent shape. Top notch course if you live in the Saginaw or flint areas! I’d play it all of the time.

Immaculate course

The fortress is a premiere course. One of my favorite courses to play in the entire state.

Under rated

If this place was on big water or at a coastal resort destination, it would be rated among best courses anywhere! Well groomed and landscaped.

Worth the play !

Love this course but unfortunately there is too much walking for seniors with leg problems.

Absolutely beautiful!

Love this course but a lot of walking for seniors as you cannot drive 50 yds near greens and worse when course is wet. Other wise perfect if walking is not a problem for u and your ball is mainly in fairway

Fortress Golf

Terrific course conditions. Fairways were perfect. Beautiful layout. But, very pricey for a Senior mid week. LOVE the course, don’t like the price.
