FRANKENMUTH, Mich., Aug. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zehnder’s rolled out its latest guest amenity this summer at its 18-hole championship Fortress Golf Course. The new 3,000 sq. ft. open-air Pavilion has become a hub of activity for pre-and-post round socializing for guests. Located across from the Fortress Clubhouse and Pro Shop, the Pavilion overlooks the first tee and 18th green.

“Our players and other guests will be able to host and enjoy a variety of golf and personal events amid our lush fairways and greens,” said John Shelton, Zehnder’s Vice President of Marketing. “The Pavilion has a 180-guest capacity and can accommodate everything from barbeques to banquets.” Golfers and visitors can also enjoy snacks, lunch, and dinner with full bar service.
