Hyland Greens Golf Course

About this course
Hyland Greens Golf Course is a municipal facility located in Bloomington, Minnesota, operated by the Three Rivers Park District. The course sits within the Hyland Lake Park Reserve, a large recreational area in the southwestern suburbs of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The park district manages several golf courses in the region, and Hyland Greens serves as an accessible public option for golfers of varying abilities. The course features a shorter layout suitable for beginners, juniors, and players working on their short game. The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of this part of Minnesota, with mature trees lining many fairways and providing definition to the holes. The setting within the park reserve means the course shares space with other recreational amenities, including trails and natural areas that preserve the native landscape character of the region. As a municipal course in a major metropolitan area, Hyland Greens emphasizes playability and pace of play. The shorter yardage makes it a practical choice for quick rounds, practice sessions, and introducing new players to the game. The course operates within the broader mission of the Three Rivers Park District to provide outdoor recreation opportunities to residents of the western Twin Cities suburbs.
