Hills Heart of the Lakes Golf Course

Hills Heart of the Lakes Golf Course is a par-69 public course in Brooklyn, MI, established 1969.

Hills Heart of the Lakes Golf Course serves Brooklyn in the Irish Hills resort district of Jackson County, occupying the literal heart of the lakes country where the kettle-lake landscape created by glacial retreat has left a concentration of lakes, moraines, and natural terrain character that makes the Irish Hills one of the most geologically interesting golf environments in southern Michigan. The hills-and-lakes name positions the course squarely within the Irish Hills identity—a landscape defined by its glacial topography, its chain of interconnected lakes, and the resort tradition that has served the metropolitan Detroit and Flint populations as a weekend and summer destination for well over a century. The course serves both the year-round Irish Hills residential community and the seasonal visitors who come for the lakes, the rolling terrain, and the authentic character of a resort landscape that has resisted the homogenizing effects of commercial overdevelopment.
