Forest Akers West Golf Course
publicForest Akers West Golf Course is the original Michigan State University golf layout, a beloved parkland course that has hosted collegiate golf since the mid-20th century. Located on Forest Road in East Lansing, the West Course offers a more accessible experience than its East counterpart while still maintaining the high conditioning standards expected of an MSU-operated facility. Mature hardwood trees frame most fairways, and the rolling terrain of the MSU campus gives the course natural character that many flat Midwest tracks lack. The course is popular with MSU students, faculty, alumni, and the broader Lansing community, creating a diverse, welcoming atmosphere. The university setting provides a unique backdrop for a round of golf, with beautiful campus architecture and landscaping visible from several holes.
Forest Akers West Golf Course was established in the 1950s as Michigan State University's first on-campus golf facility. It has been the home course for MSU golf teams and the training ground for students in the university's golf management program, maintaining its role as a community treasure for East Lansing and the greater Capital Region.
