Hyland Greens operations turned over to Three Rivers

In February, the City of Bloomington held a public meeting about the transfer of Hyland Greens Golf Course to the Three Rivers Park District. With conditions surrounding usage and strong support by residents who commented, the Council approved an ordinance to support the transfer.

Three Rivers has managed the course with great success over the past three years, increasing revenue, rounds played and improved user experience levels. Three Rivers will also address some of the capital investments the course needs, such as a new HVAC system, irrigation system improvements, accessibility improvements and removal of the dilapidated fence along Normandale Boulevard.

Hyland history

Hyland Greens was purchased by the City in 1974 as an 18-hole golf course. In 2012 it was converted to a nine-hole course. In 2015, a task force recommended the City partially develop the east side of the Hyland Greens’ site while maintaining the golf course. However, the City did not sell the property and continued operating the course with a
taxpayer subsidy.

The COVID-19 pandemic closed the golf course in 2020. In 2021, Three Rivers began a three-year agreement (scheduled to end this year) to operate Hyland Greens.
