This course was on the PGA tour in the 40's and could be again with a little work.
Rates pretty hard for it's length. This year it's in the best condition of any course in K.C. No water. Hilly. Large trees. Tight driving course. Good and fair challenge. Good risk-reward course.

Customer Service

no water

Swope is hilly and not te longest course but is tight and has subtly undulating greens. No water on the course but is very historic as the oldest course in KC and is Tom Watsons self proclaimed favorite course. You can score if you play well and keep it straight.

Customer Service

very good and friendly

"Old course" look, hardly a flat spot on the course. Typically easy to get a tee time.

I'v been there when it was a little rough looking, (but it's never been so bad that I wouldnt go back).

Swope is VERY hilly, and huge trees are literally everywhere. The oldest course in KC. No water. Haven't played it this year, so can't testify to it's condition. When it's in good shape, I think it's a great course to play.

Customer Service

Acceptable.

Great layout... harder than the yardage would indicate... tons of elevation changes... greens and fairways in good shape... great course for $23 on the weekend.

Short from the back tees - just 6250 yds. Also, some of the tee boxes are in horrible condition, or closed altogether.

Swope Memorial is a KC municipal course that will shock you with its outstanding layout and difficulty considering its short yardage. Very tight at times - driver not necessary on most holes. Great fun for the $, however conditioning in spots is always an issue at this facility.

Customer Service

Fine - nothing really good or bad.
