Forest Akers MSU Golf Club

I just recently played 18 holes here for the first time. Previous visits I have used their driving range multiple times. I can say the driving range is very nice and there are even private areas usually available for no extra charge. The staff was friendly and we had an excellent day of golf here. I felt like all the greens and tee boxes were in good shape, and overall, the course was beautiful. It's a great place to spend a few hours playing golf. Having a beverage cart employee coming around is a nice bonus. A lot of courses no longer offer that service, and when you are playing 18 holes, ge…

Great course. Awesome layout. Fairways were in great condition, could easily tell the difference between the fairway and rough. But people do not like to fix the divots on the greens. That's the reason for 4 stars. Would have to repair 4 divots per green. Fixing that many still left many left to be repaired. Would give 4 1/2 stars. Was awesome to see a family teaching their young daughter how to play. Overall was a great place to play.

Made the turn with nearly 25 minutes of daylight left, got our tee shots off, only to get pushed off the course so the kid could go home. We could have easily hit our putts on hole 1, did a par 4 hole 2, and then a par 4 hole 3. I made it all the way back to ironwood and they still had a few golfers out since it was still daylight. Such a bummer, for so called premium course In East Lansing.

Course is good, the poor rating does not reflect on the course as a whole. The practice range has a lot of potential, but the condition of the grass tee area is generally pretty bad. I understand the range gets a lot of traffic, but for a school with a turfgrass management program I would expect greater care to keep the grass on the range in good shape. You can find a quality spot here and there, but the majority of the range is basically playing out of sand/dirt with sparse grass growing out of it. Let's start over and get some sod out there next year!

Conditions were ok, great price at $37 for 18 fall twilight rate I believe. Only problem was pace of play was horrendous. Most holes had 3-4 groups on them, had to leave after 9.

Met up with some buddies for a group outing and had a blast. Really easy, really open course. Nothing special but well taken care of. I might not make the trip to get back but I enjoyed my time here. Great practice facilities.

This was my first time playing Forest Acres East. During the season, I don't pay big bucks for courses. I

Used driving range which was first class. Two courses available .

Showed up to the shop about 5-10 minutes early. There was an issue with one of the customers ahead of us, and we ended up at the tee 15-20 minutes later. We were in a group of 4 with a couple beginners, and the starter was aggressive with us after the tee shots. Near the green on the first hole, the starter drove up to tell us to move quickly and that he already had to send a group to the back 9 because of us, repeatedly emphasizing that we were clearly beginners. From this experience, they don't seem very friendly to beginners and there is poor communication between the shop and starter. Neat…

Love the course not only for its beauty, but its playability!

The course is awesome. Plays well and full of honest people. I left my range finder and they returned it. Also the course was backed up and they gave us some free range balls I wanted to add that the course wasn’t backed up due to management but because of frost on greens, something they can’t control. They handled it great. Will be returning for sure.

Great range, good price!
