Best value in Michigan
$45 and pristine conditions. It’s a very nice, if unspectacular, layout. No tricked up holes… it’s all in front of you. Incredible value for money
It's been awhile...too long
Used to work in Lansing and would play Forest Akers every week. Been a few years since I've been back, but it was like greeting a long lost friend. One of my favorite places to play in Michigan. Course conditions were excellent, staff was excellent, round was excellent. Had a great time again. Worth the ride from the Detroit metro area. I will be back
Poor Course Tee Time Management
So my work mates and I were making the turn and were met with a foursome and another twosome in front of us. When we asked the guy at the desk what was going on he stated leagues were now going off… WHAT?? If we would have stayed to play behind that group it would have added another 3 hrs to our round. Then when I asked for a 9 hole credit I was told I could only get a rain check. Not like East Lansing is right around the corner. I live in Auburn Hills. Poor planning.
9 holes - 3 hours!!
Course was backed up to 3 groups on par 3’s- no Marshall!, told that the league were starting to hurry up with nowhere to go - poorly ran.
Hello, Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
I'll Be Back
Best, best, best...far exceeded expectations. Great value, and look forward to returning again.
Great Championship Course.
Conditions are excellent. Very challenging course layout. Daughter played it in her high school state finals years back and won her division title. First time I got a chance to play it.
Great course, rude employee
I recently played forest Akers west and per usual, it was an overall good experience. The condition of the course and the pace of play were exceptional. However, I had a slight problem with the way a member of the staff treated me. I think he is maybe the manager of the course, as I’ve seen him several times before but never have had a problem before. This time, he was blatantly rude when I came into to pay for my round of golf. Maybe he was having a bad day, but to be rude to a paying customer is pretty sad in my opinion. Other than that, I had a great time and a great golfing experience.
beautiful course
Couldn’t of been happier with all around course condition
Where is my Ball
Too many leaves on course, cannot find ball, but it is October in the North.
Layout
Great course!! Have to hit all the clubs in the bag.. greens in great shape.
