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.
Came in fro ohio to see my sond had some free time. 3 or 4 sketchy tee boxes but, other that a very nice challenging course.
Not very long but lots os elevation and friendly staff.
Even found a buckeye fan at the course. Lol

SWOPE Memorial Golf Course
6900 Swope Memorial Drive
Kansas City, Missouri
Loved the golf course so much we went back and played it again the next day and plan to make this our ‘Go To’ course for the summer. Rates are great, course is in excellent shape and the staff is outgoing and friendly.
The Course itself played well, Tee Boxes are solid and level - Red Tees are well placed for female and junior golfers and those with a higher handicap. Second cut can be tough for finding your ball but more motivation to take a little off your swing and keep the ball in the fairway. Greens played fast, so a little caution once you are on but with a little loft the ball can stick when pitching up. Pace was perfect, the Course Marshalls keep the golfers moving and other golfers were very accommodating to let singles and others play through.
Course has many challenging holes that will force you to play ‘Target Golf’ but has many holes that allow you to hit the driver. Par 3’s were a bit long; and one of the many challenges were the hills and inclines/declines from the Tee Boxes. Bunkers were well cared for and well placed - compliments to the Course Superintendent and grounds crew.
A nice feature was the Club House and the Snack Bar. They offer a wide variety of food and snacks, to include grilled & fired items, chips, hotdogs. In addition, they offer an ice cooler you can use to purchase and take beverages out on the course. Wide variety of alcohol and what appeared to be a full service bar to make the golf experience a bit more relaxed. The Pro Shop is well stocked with inventory in the event you need to pick up some golfing items or merchandise.
Highly recommend SWOPE Memorial Golf Course to any golfer at any skill level - you will enjoy!

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!

Beautiful course, it has so many terrian features and gorgeous trees. If you can play there towards the evening in the fall you can also see awesome sunsets.
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.
