If you’re looking to practice your swing, head on over to the driving range located at the Forest Akers East course. Think it’s too cold for golf? Forest Akers has you covered! In 2009, Forest Akers opened its all-weather driving range. The facility is the first of its kind in mid-Michigan and offers 18 stalls for golfers to practice comfortably all year long. Each covered stall is equipped with overhead heaters. Come sleet, snow or rain, the driving range will remain open.Continue Reading… Golf in All Seasons at Forest Akers
