The East at Forest Akers Golf Course

First time golfing course. We were not impressed...staff was courteous but not friendly... we wont golf there again...

I've played nice courses all over the US this year and the condition of this East Course is in the top 3.

I am very impressed with the greens and fairways!

Will be back!

We had a twosome behind us as we began to tee off and let them tee off ahead of us. We saw them for 3 holes and never saw them again. We were never held up, everything was in great shape and the weather couldn't have been better.

Michigan State being one of the top turf management schools in the nation, should strive to keep not only Akers West a showcase, but the East course also. The rough was like a hayfield with mounds of dead grass everywhere. Obviously need to sharpen the mower blades and mow more than once every 10 days. Plenty of patches in the fairways in need of some grass seed also. Too many $20 golf deals in the Mid-Michigan area for courses that are in much better condition than Forest Akers East.

Very nice course as long as there hasn't been a lot of rain in the area. It can get soggy. Otherwise always in good condition and not a lot of serious trouble to get into. The main drawback for me is being on the campus of Michigan State University, it gets a lot of play from college students that are very high handicappers and play sometimes can be slow without the staff doing much to speed things up.

Never play this course on a Sunday afternoon. I booked a round for 18 holes and quit after 9 because the pace of play was so slow. It took 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete 9 holes.

Nice course great condition

Well maintained course. Good for beginners and people with high handicaps. No beverage cart service.

After arriving to the course 15 minutes prior to my tee time I was concerned with the back up that appeared on the first tee. We didn't end up teeing off until about 15 minutes after we were supposed to and it took 35 minutes to play the first hole. NO RANGER TO BE SEEN. My group wound up skipping 2 holes in order to play at a relatively living pace. What a ridiculous joke, and this wasn't the first time this has happened here. If you end up playing Forrest Acres East, plan on rude people and a 5.5 hour round.

great course. friendly staff.

Only knock on this course was the unfair pin locations on about half of the greens. Couple times putted and barely missed the hole and ball rolled 10 feet by. Not sure if made locations that tough to compensate for not particularly hard holes.

Course in good shape. Finished 18 in less than 4 hours. Good water availability on course. Like the Sparty and Big Ten influence around course.

We played Forest Akers east. The course was very pleasant and well taken care of. Everybody in my group enjoyed himself. We will return.

We really enjoyed out time there. One of our foursome had never played there and he will be back. with us another time.

Went out on Father's Day and they had completely packed the front 9. At one point there were 5 groups on one hole.

There is some sort of construction taking pace that has screwed up one of tee boxes around hole 3. Its hard as a rock and you can barely tee up your shot. Also, there is no beverage service on the course.

That being said I really enjoy the course and play it quite often.
