Forest Akers East is one of two Michigan State University golf courses on the East Lansing campus, a course that serves the university community of faculty, staff, students, and alumni alongside the broader Lansing metropolitan area market that accesses the MSU course as a public facility. Michigan State's Forest Akers complex—East and West courses together—represents a significant golf investment by a major research university with a historically strong golf program, and Forest Akers East provides a nine-hole or alternative routing option for players who want a shorter or different experience from the Forest Akers West eighteen-hole layout. The campus setting gives both courses a natural parkland character within the East Lansing campus landscape, with mature trees and the natural terrain of the Red Cedar River corridor providing the setting for golf that is embedded in one of Michigan's most beautiful large university campuses.
