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.

Beautiful golf course

Well manicured course, with a good variety of holes, over rolling terrain. I am a 9-10 handicap golfer and found it to be a good challenge.

Great day except….

We only saw the cart girl once during the round and it was on the first hole. Got a little thirsty.

Enforce pace if play

Pace of play very slow. Foresome in front of us was really behind and nobody attempted to speed them up. Other than slow play the course is excellent.

Excellent course but demanding.

The fortress is an excellent course for conditions and visuals, however, it’s a pretty hard golf course for a tourist town. Low handicap golfers will enjoy the course. If you are off the fairways you will get deep rough if you find your golf ball at all. If you are, the Muni blue tees player do yourself a favor and play the white tees or farther up just so you will enjoy the course and not complain that you wasted your money because the course is too hard.

Great course, a must play!

If you haven’t played the Fortress yet, you’re missing out. It has been a while since I played here last but I was surprised to find a great hot deal to go out in the evening. I was sandwiched between a group of three and a duo behind me. The pace was a bit slower than I would’ve liked but I was out by myself away from the kids, so I didn’t mind! Conditions were great, fairways and rough are close to pristine. Greens had a LOT of spike marks, however it looked like there was an event that day so this was expected. Great layout, some very challenging holes and other easier ones. Definitely recommend stopping here to play and visiting Frankenmuth afterwards!

A challenging but fun course

The course was mostly maintained well (along with nice landscape & flower garden, etc.) and somewhat difficult but fun to play. It was somewhat windy but quite as it located far from major roads. I'd play again.

Always a GREAT round!

I try to play this course at least once every year. It is always in great shape and well maintained! The staff is friendly! The only tiny downside of this course is many holes play alongside each other hence, it is not unusual to have a blind "incoming" fired at you. Once is about typical however, this most recent round had three incomings during the course of the round. Of course, it is not the fault of the golf course, however it is something to be aware of when you play.
