Brookshire Inn & Golf Club

Brookshire Inn in Williamston, Michigan, is a public facility designed by Bruce Matthews III. The course sits in the rolling farmland of Ingham County, roughly ten miles east of Lansing, where the landscape transitions from the capital region's suburban development into more open agricultural terrain. The property occupies former farmland, a common setting for Michigan courses built during the late twentieth-century expansion of public golf. Matthews, a Michigan-based architect whose work appears primarily in the Great Lakes region, designed Brookshire Inn to fit the natural contours of the site. The routing likely incorporates the existing elevation changes and wooded areas typical of this part of mid-Michigan, where gentle hills and mature tree lines provide definition without dramatic topography. Courses in this area generally feature parkland characteristics with tree-lined fairways, ponds or small lakes for both drainage and strategic interest, and greens that reflect the region's clay-based soils. The facility operates as both a golf course and lodging property, serving local players from the Lansing metropolitan area as well as travelers along the I-96 corridor. Brookshire Inn functions as a daily-fee course accessible to a broad range of golfers, typical of Michigan's robust public golf market. The combination of golf and accommodations positions it as a destination for small tournaments, golf outings, and weekend groups seeking convenient access to both the course and on-site amenities.
