Mankato, county seat of Jewell
county, is probably the smallest KAN
sas town to establish public golf
| course. The city recently purchased
| a 2e0-acre tract OF land adjoining the
| town. A portion OF the land has been
| set aside for a public park and golf
| links.
Because Mankato relies on surface
| water for its water supply, a large
| reservoir is located on portion OF
the land. Some of the adjoining prop
| erty has been laid out for a golf course
and the game is already proving popu-
/ lar among Mankato residents.
