Minnesota Golf Spotlight: Bloomington Convention and Visitors Bureau

Visit Bloomington!

When it comes to playing and staying in the Twin Cities, Bloomington is the place to hang your hat (and clubs!). Here’s who we have in the Minnesota Golf Spotlight: Bloomington Convention and Visitors Bureau. What courses do they have you ask? Bloomington is home to, and surrounded by, award winning golf courses. Travel south and you’ll find The Legends Club and The Wilds in Prior Lake. You’re a stones throw from Braemar Golf Course and a comfortable drive to Prestwick, Stonebrooke and Ridges at Sand Creek. After your round, settle in to one of the many hotels in the area that make Bloomington one of the busiest travel destinations in the world. Heck, if you’re with your family and have some time to kill and cash to burn, head over to the Mall of America!

We recently caught up with Heather Proskey, Marketing and Events Coordinator at the Bloomington Convention and Visitors Bureau and posed 5 questions to her. Check out her responses below and then come check out Bloomington, MN and remember to bring your clubs!
