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!

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.

Great public course in Kansas City. Part of the 1,800 acre park created from the land donated by Thomas Swope (1300e acres) near the turn of century. The park contains an old growth forest, the Kansas City zoo, two golf courses, and many other attractions. Very near where this picture was taken there is a Greek inspired mausoleum containing the remains of Thomas Swope, a spectacular fountain, and one of the best sunset spots in Kansas City.

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

Very challenging from the blue tees. Get ready for some elevation changes and mature trees. Shot shaping is crucial here. Also, be a very good putter. But it’s a very cool place with a very nostalgic feel.
