Celebrating our West Course's 50 year Aniversary

On May 1st, 1958 the West Course opened. Its original design was done by Bruce Mathews. Mr. Forest Akers generously donated the money to purchase the land and to to build the courses. Jack Brotzman was the course's first General Manager. Many of the Golf Professionals who played at the opening ceremony claimed it was the best course they have ever played.

Forest Akers is home to two great golf courses, a learning center, driving range, short game facility and two golf shops. The West Course is the home of the Michigan State University golf teams and hosts tournaments for both the men's and women's team annually. Many of the games' best players have been challenged on this course.


Tee times for both golf courses at Forest Akers may be made online at no extra charge during our normal seven day time frame.

The East Course is home to the learning center and driving range. It is the perfect place to improve your game.

The West Golf Shop, in the Henry Center, has some of the finest MSU Spartan golf apparel and merchandise in the country.
