The power of nature shaped into one of Michigan’s most beautiful golf courses, The Fortress defends itself with its terrain, challenging bunkers and signature island hole. Situated just 435 yards from the front porch of Zehnder’s in downtown Frankenmuth, The Fortress encompasses 6,813 yards of formidible play on an 18-hole, par 72 course. About 25,000 rounds of golf are played on the course every season.
Designed in 1992 by golf architect Dick Nugent, The Fortress reflects characteristics of golf’s early Scottish origins. Fescue-covered mounds reveal well-guarded, sectioned greens. Bent-grass tees, greens and fairways surround 75 bunkers. Each of the huge greens average 7,500 square feet.
Players can warm up on the putting green, the chipping green with practice bunker and the target-oriented driving range. PGA Professional Erich Kuhlman is available for private and group lessons. Special events, tournaments, clinics and junior programs are scheduled throughout the season.
