Representative image, not the specific course
Swope Memorial is a municipal 18-hole course in Swope Park within the Kansas City Parks system. Golf on the site dates to 1915, and World Golf Hall of Fame architect A.W. Tillinghast redesigned the hilly, wooded layout in 1934; a historic restoration toward his original design was carried out in 2025. It hosted the 1949 Kansas City Open Invitational, then a PGA Tour event.
