Vacationing in KC from the Chicagoland area and wanted to play a local course. Quality golf course! Short, tight and challenging. The staff is amazing! Everyone from the club house attendant, to the starter and ranger made sure my wife and I were having a great time. It was cart path only but unless you landed in a bunker, you couldn’t tell they had 4 inches of rain yesterday morning. Bravo to the groundskeepers! I will recommend to others and plan to be back.

Swope Memorial is a cool golf course with a great staff! We had a 144 player tournament, and it was smooth sailing the entire day! Golf carts are equipped with USB ports as well. Give this course a try!

An awesome Tillinghast course right in the city. It’s a smaller course because of it’s age and design, but it’s a really cool layout. Very good, and memorable, holes that will make you want to play it again and again.
Greens were great. No houses on the course. The ONLY negative is that it is a hilly course. If you’re going to take a cart, no problem. If you walk it, you’ve been warned.
All the holes are named. I think Tillinghast does this for all his designs. We played 7 rounds in KC, and this was the only course we played twice. It’s so original, and fun, I could play it again and again and not get bored.
The parking is really weird and there isn’t much of it, but other than that, great Course, great location, great layout. We walked and got around in about 3:45 on a busy day.
I’ll definitely be playing Swope the next time I’m in KC!

Narrow greens on the first 9. Lots of bunkers also. Back nine is more open & few bunkers. Not a beginner's course which we mostly are. Employees were nice.

I made multiple birdies, ate chili, played through rain and wind for 15 holes and noticed the ONLY picture that didn’t have a captions in the “historic” section of the hallway was the black men canvas transfer photo. Amazing golf on a historic course. Let’s do some research though boys. Bing Crosby ain’t that cool.
