Underwhelming 2+ years drive by

Pros:
The main pro is that in the least there is a course at Swope. Some elevation changes help, the tee pads are very nice. Some have nice benches and trash cans.
Cons:
No dig at the designers -- there wasn't much to work with here. Very hard to not review this in light of the course's predecessor and the stain of its removal, but intentionally trying to be unbiased here. Very few obstacles and lots of uninteresting shots. The grass was at least ankle high almost everywhere and finding discs on normal throws was obnoxious. 60% of the course was deceptively swampy under the grass. It had rained recently but it wasn't a heavy rain. Don't go play this course if it's rained in the last few days unless you're wearing water shoes or you like having wet socks because you're going to sink unexpectedly at some point even if you're being cautious.
Other Thoughts:
This course is the closest to where I live, but I don't have much desire to return to it. I've heard rumors there are plans to improve it, but I know nothing official, and as it is I would recommend playing any other number of enjoyable courses in the KC Metro until it gets more work.

Swope Park misses the mark. 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Aug 22, 2020
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
It's in Swope Park. Decent tee pads and good baskets.
Cons:
It's short, wide open and boring because there are not many trees. The grass gets long, needs to be mowed more often and there are a lot of wet spots. The terrain is rough in some areas and the tilt of the land is a little tiresome.
Other Thoughts:
Not a great course. Just tee pads and baskets and not much of a design. What a letdown for Swope II.

Unimaginative Course that needs to be mowed 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Holes are spread out.
It looks to be newer as the concrete pads look fresh.
It looks to be newer as the concrete pads look fresh.
Cons:
Some of the pads/baskets are not marked.
They do not list the par or show a diagram of the hole with obstacles.
Signs are flimsy and more of a temporary nature, may blow away or be taken.
Little shade.
The grass was knee high in some places and ankle high everywhere else.
There are several ditches that run throughout the course.

Other Thoughts:
If they would get decent signs and mow, this would be an okay course. Most of the holes are out in open spaces with no obstacles to get around so it gets a little boring.
