Glass Nickel Pizza Co. started out in 1997 with a simple vision: to make the best pizza around for our neighborhood. We decided to do it with fresh ingredients, a big menu, and gracious service for the good folks who visited us (or gave us a call to order). Now, more than 20 years later, our vision has done more than come to life — it’s expanded to include many more neighborhoods, making for a big Glass Nickel family that truly cares about each other, their communities, and, of course, making great pizza. Ok, more than great pizza. We’ve got plenty of salads, sandwiches, wings, and more to go around, too. Any and all are invited to come in or call, grab a bite, and become part of that family!

Brookfield Hills Golf Course opened in 1971. Brookfield Hills Golf Course has matured into a beautiful track with tall deciduous and pine trees, ponds and Deer Creek on the back nine.
Our 18 holes provide a variety of challenges. Primarily level terrain with knolls and slight hills surround many of the fairways. However, the ponds, flowing creek and well-placed bunkers create some difficult situations. Large greens are a forgiving aspect to this course. There is a time, at dusk, where the sun makes the grass look like green velvet. It is a beautiful sight!
