The cost of the acquisition was assessed 100% against “benefited” property over five years, the steepest assessment in park board history not spread in part over property city-wide. Rice Lake had been acquired not to provide a reservoir for Minnehaha Falls, or to be filled in as meadow it had been acquired in large part to become a golf course. The park board paid $550,000 for the lake, surrounding land and creek bed. With increasing development of southern Minneapolis, certainly aided by the creation of Lake Nokomis and the surrounding park, Rice Lake was no longer priced as just a swamp. While the final acquisition was much larger than contemplated years earlier, so was the price tag. In 1922 the park board followed that advice and designated for acquisition not just Rice Lake, but the land to the west of the lake for a golf course, and the entire valley of Minnehaha Creek from the lake to Minnehaha Falls. He repeated the advice the following year. In the next year’s report, board president William Bovey “strongly” advised the board to acquire the land around Rice Lake-but only what was ”absolutely necessary” to provide a suitable golf course and playground. In the 1920 annual report, Wirth suggested that perhaps the only available and affordable land in south Minneapolis that would provide the minimum of 150 acres needed for a golf course was between Rice Lake and Cedar Avenue. By 1920 it was evident that the park board needed more golf courses, especially one in the southern section of the city, because both existing courses were in north Minneapolis. The course was such a success, and revenue-generator, for the park board that in 1919 the Glenwood course was expanded to eighteen holes and new six-hole course was built at Columbia Park. The nine-hole course was an immediate success even though it had only sand greens.
In 1916 the park board opened its first golf course at Glenwood (Wirth) Park. Hiawatha also boasts City Pages’ “Best Golf Course” in 20 as well as Best Park Readers’ Choice for 2009. The golf course has an enormous amount of character and since it is located in the heart of South Minneapolis, it is easily accessible from all directions. Hiawatha Golf Course has been the host facility to many MGA, MWPGA, National Pub-Links, and State Amateur Sectional Qualifiers. Extensive remodeling to front nine holes in 1993 and the back nine holes in 1999 have given Hiawatha patrons of all abilities a Championship-type golfing experience. The clubhouse was built in 1932 for $14,864. The course was created on the west shore of the lake using the dredged fill material. Over 1.2 million cubic yards were dredged out of the previously swampy Rice Lake area creating Lake Hiawatha on the 28th Ave. The golf course was built when dredging began in 1929. There are 12 ponds and 30 sand traps strategically placed throughout the golf course. Minnehaha Creek flows into Lake Hiawatha through the back nine holes. Two fairways and four tees border Lake Hiawatha. It is a long course, generally flat with mature trees and small greens. Hiawatha is an 18-hole regulation golf course, Par 73. The Hiawatha Golf Club is located next to Lake Hiawatha in south Minneapolis.
