Reviews
Forrest acres East
Driving range is great!! Friendly staff. Excited about the change to the course.
cheap course for college students
Greens Are Average For This Price Range... Good Value For The Money. Pretty forving Course Layout While Still Being Fun.. Hopefully They Finish Repairs on 5 And 18 Soon.
Solid MSU Golf Course
Received an excellent deal from Golfnow.com. Highly recommend checking the site before making your golf plans.
Double booked again
Once again the pro shop double booked times and had to play the front twice. This is the SECOND TIME IN TWO TRIES, last time we took a rain check.
Best value in Mid-Michigan
I've been playing this course for years. I played it every day as a high school golfer and still come here for recreation. Staff is always very friendly and attentive, the course is always immaculate, and the design is great. I really like the redesign they're doing now on 3, 15, and 18. Those were the holes that needed attention before and it's should be great.
Sometimes play can be very slow, but the marshals are attentive and do their best to speed up play. They can't control people that don't belong anywhere near a golf course.
Overall, this course goes head to head with courses 2-3x the price.
Backed up into a league
We booked a twosome at Akers East and play went well on the front nine, but on the back we backed into league play and the second nine dragged a great deal. I guess I thought there weren't leagues going off when we got a 3:16 tee time. I was wrong.
Akers East is a good course, not nearly as daunting as the West course. A nice challenge, not too tight. Two of the holes, one on the front and one back are torn up. 18 amounts to a putt putt hole without the windmill as it's now a Par 3 distance that we skipped since it was so backlogged. It helped to keep our scores down!
Open
It is early in the season, golf course is making changes to a couple. Forest Acres East is a great golf course.
Good course for the price.
A good course for the price. The weather was great, 65 degrees, which for November is great. The course was packed and the staff seemed overwhelmed. The course also was allowing five-somes to play on this day and the speed of play was slow. No ranger.
For the price it was well worth it though.
The course was in very good shape, multiple tee boxes for different levels of play.The sand in the bunkers was nice to hit out of nice and soft.

I know its late in the season but.
Forest Acre East course is one I will not play again. I know its late in the season but it was not well kept up. Greens where not in good shape and I know that has alot to do with who plays the course not repairing divots etc.
