Reviews
Awesome
Great time great course. Very friendly and looking forward to going back
Great course
great course at a great price. meticulous greens, well kept up by MSU, they are the best in the nation at turf management and it shows!!!
Akers East 6/15
Front 9 very slow, but it was Father's day. Pace picked up on the back. Only issue no beer!!!!
Great Golf Course
I enjoyed this course a lot. It was in great condition and had very challenging Par 3's (two over 200 yds). The wind made those a bit tougher i'm sure. There is also more Par 5's too which is fun! I'd say the only thing that could make the course better is more hazards. There isn't much water and only a few sand traps near the greens.
Lovely gem
Really enjoyed the course. Recent heavy rains had reduced the opportunity for conditioning. Very pretty with the blossoms out. Loved the 18th!
Nice Course
Other than it being pretty windy it was a great day to be on the course. Not too challenging, but great for a beginner like me.
great course
This is a nice 18 hole course with a good pace if you have two people. If you have four it seems like some group of two or three are coming up on you all the time. The course is in great condition with some moderate holes to play not are hard. The staff is great and friendly
Great play for the money!
It's early in the golfing year here in Michigan and there was a bit of inconsistency in the greens. Some were way beyond slow while others played as expected. I'm sure this will be corrected as the weather warms and Spring is fully upon us. Good challenge from the black and green tees.
great features and a few water holes and
has some long par 4s and elevated greens, guarded by sand
Good location, well maintained, good value.
Nice course and good price for us. We will play here again.
great course great price
ive booked this course many times, and every booking has gone perfect. the course was--- and is in great shape--- the price was outstanding ( 12 bucks for 18 holes and a cart ) cant get better value than on golfnow--- ill never book a course anywhere else if i can help it
Good course and value
Good course and good value. Hot day so it wast that busy
playable
Big area of ground under repair at #3, #15 and #16 fairway - been that way a long time. Would think a university with a turf mgmt. program would have gotten that right by now. Not a fan of changing 15 to short par 5 (they just moved green and white tees back to the original par 4 tips) and changing 18 from drivable par 4 to mediocre par 3. Greens on course seemed much faster than practice green. Great practice area. Pace of play incredibly slow on front, much better on back. Three groups on tee at #3 unacceptable. College Fields nearby a much better choice for just a couple bucks more.
Slow play on holidays
It was a very good price for 18 but the course did, contrary to staff, over book. When suggested this was the case, the staff defended back with stating all tee times had been on time. No, we were almost 15 late. A good, overall course and a good value, but be prepared for 3 hours a 9 on a holiday.
Worth the 65 mile round trip.
Lush watered fairways. Greens, soft and deceptive to read for this amateur. Cold drinking water available on course at several locations. My foursome is planning a return trip again this Saturday. All for only $26. Snack at turn rather pricey.
Good features
Nice course. Try to get there before leagues, things can get slow if you don't.
Forrest Akers
Decent course for the money. Slow greens. Some course construction.
