Welcome to
The Fortress

Golf Course

The Fortress is a division of Zehnder’s and is one of Michigan’s top 25 golf courses. This breathtaking beauty spans over 6,800 yards of remarkable gameplay, highlighted by fescue-covered mounds, and lush sectioned greens. The Fortress was designed by golf architect Dick Nugent in 1992, which reveals characteristics of golf’s early Scottish origins. Bent-grass tees, greens, and fairways surround 75 bunkers.

Players have a few warm-up options, including the putting green, the chipping green with a practice bunker, and the target-oriented driving range. Special events, tournaments, clinics, and junior programs are scheduled throughout the season.

The show is fast paced and interactive with a focus on lots of nostalgia to awaken the teenage hearts of all those who carried a Transistor Radio in the 60’s! The authentic look, musical instrumentation, and detailed harmony of the Beach Boys are reproduced with a spot on representation of the real deal.

Audiences will be singing along to their favorite songs like Barbara Ann, Help Me Rhonda, Surfin’ USA, Little Deuce Coupe, and Good Vibrations – the number ONE SONG OF ALL TIME! Not to mention other classics by Jan and Dean – California Sun by The Rivieras – and classics from the iconic Pet Sounds album like Sloop John B, Wouldn’t It Be nice and God Only Knows.
