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.

Greens were awesome!!

Really don’t have any complaints about this course. Well maybe other than the price if I didn’t get the hot deal. Course was in great shape, nice greens not slow at all, just perfect.

Great Course…tough

Great course and the greens were perfect! Long and tough but fair from the correct tees. Seemed a bit expensive for a Weekday round to me. That is the only real complaint. Friendly staff.

First time

Course was in great shape and greens are “PGA” quality. Tough pin placements will have you second guessing your game. Likely the best course I’ve played in MI to date. Fairways are narrow, but can be forgiving as long as you don’t get into heather areas. Highly recommend putting this on the hot list.

Change the OINS!

There must have been or there was going to be some kind of tournament at the course, because the PINs were all in impossible places to get too. It was like playing the day after a 4 man scramble tough hole tournament. I am a single digit handicap player and it was not enjoyable even for me to play to PINs tucked away like they were.

Wonderful course

The Fortress is a beautiful course in immaculate condition. From tee boxes, sand traps, flower beds and greens, everything is in place. The trip to Frankenmuth is well worth it!

The Fortress

Played on May 28th. Got out early as I had family here with me! Course was simply excellent. Greens were tour quality. Maintenance staff were courteous and friendly. Pro was very nice also. Had just a great time. Price was a little high for me but the overall experience was worth it. i think the price goes down to $70 during the week which is fair. Play it if you are in the area!!
