Swope Memorial Golf Course
Representative image — not the specific course
Swope Memorial is a municipal 18-hole course in Swope Park within the Kansas City Parks system. Redesigned by World Golf Hall of Fame architect A.W. Tillinghast in 1934 (golf on the site dates to 1915), the hilly, wooded layout underwent a historic restoration toward Tillinghast’s original design. It is the only public course in the KC area to have hosted a PGA Tour event.
