Michigan Grocers Association will hold its spring golf outing at The Fortress in Frankenmuth for the fourth time in the event's 21-year history. The outing tees-off with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 12.

Frankenmuth is conveniently located just minutes from I-75 between Flint and Saginaw. Known as "Michigan's Little Bavaria" the city draws more than 3 million visitors annually to its unique restaurants, shopping, attractions and hotels.

Owned and operated by Zehnder's of Frankenmuth, The Fortress is one of Michigan's most beautiful golf courses. It defends itself with its terrain, challenging bunkers and signature island hole. The Fortress encompasses 6,813 yards of formidable play on an 18-hole, par 72 course. Designed in 1992 by golf architect Dick Nugent, the course 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.

Further information including sponsorship opportunities and discounted lodging at Zehnder's Splash Village will be available in the coming weeks.
