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.

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.

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.

Nice Golf Course

I enjoyed the whole experience at the Fortress. The carts were very clean and had GPS and club / ball washers. The pace of play was very good as we only had to wait to tee off on only a few holes. The greens were nice and the ball rolled true. Fairways were great, very soft. The coarse was fair, if hit the fairway the holes were not that hard, miss and you were punished with either thick rough or really tall grass. I will definitely be back to play it again.
