Swope Memorial Golf Course

Heads up, golfers! 🌞 Due to the heat, we’re postponing aerification and keeping the course open next week. Book your tee times for 9/1 & 9/2 online now!! We’ll update you when a new date is set.

This photograph dates back to 1935 and was taken from behind the green when today's Hole 8 was originally Hole 3, before the course was rerouted. The clubhouse can be seen in the distance, serving as a timeless landmark.

While much has changed over the past nine decades, the spirit of Swope Memorial has remained the same.

The next chapter has begun.

Looking back to 1942, when Mr. Bing Crosby graced Swope No. 1 with himself and US Open winner Lawson Little. According to stevenlewis.info, Bing shot a 40 on the front, and lost to Little six holes later on the back. Because gambling was illegal in KC, they played for a $50 War Bond put up as “security”.

The history remains, the memories continue.
