The Zumbro Valley Golf Course is located between Mantorville and Kasson on County Road 15, east of Highway 57. I’m going to tell you something that most people don’t know. You do not have to be a member of the golf club to use the club house. Anyone can stop in and have a drink or a snack at the Bunker Bar, whether they are a member or not. In addition to beer, wine, and mixed drinks, they sell pizza and hot dogs.

September is often a starting time. Kids return to classrooms, athletic events begin, and churches change to their fall schedule. But September also signals the beginning of the end. Although we are bound to have some more warm days, we also know our summer weather is about done.
