A Midwest awakening: Kansas City golf scene shines with restored muni, pristine private clubs

KANSAS CITY — When you think about premier golf destinations in the U.S., the usual suspects likely come to mind. Long Island, the Phoenix Valley, the Carolinas, anywhere along the coasts of California and Florida. If someone mentions a place such as Kansas City, most people probably assume it’s a bunch of flat Midwestern nothingness ― an afterthought in America's golf scene. But the KC metro is experiencing a golf renaissance. The game is booming just as it is in most U.S. regions, and club owners and municipalities alike are investing big dollars in their properties, crafting elite golf experiences for members and residents while also attracting golfers from around the country. Golfweek editor Tim Schmitt and I had a chance to tour and play several of these courses, and we were shocked. The quality of each property was astounding and quickly made us forget where we were, in the best way. Swope Memorial Golf Course Swope Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, opened in 1915 then was completely redesigned by A.W. Tillinghast in 1935. In the nine decades since, it had undergone many changes, most of which were not for the better. Its greens were infected, cart paths deteriorating and

Starlight throws shade on 2027, and that's a good thing for KC fans of musicals

If the traditional 8 p.m. showtime for Starlight Theatre’s popular musicals is a bit late for your lifestyle, you’re in luck. Starlight will offer weekend matinées at the four weeklong musicals announced this week as part of its 2027 AdventHealth Broadway Series. The 2 p.m. performances on Saturdays and Sundays are possible because of Starlight’s $40 million overhaul that will feature a canopy shading about 3,200 seats. Ticket sales to the weekend matinées will be limited to about 2,500. The second phase of the construction project, which began in 2024 and was delayed a year because of funding issues, began this month and is expected to be completed in time for next summer’s slate of plays and concerts. In addition to the canopy, the project at the 7,800-seat venue in Swope Park includes upgraded entrances, kitchen facilities and bathrooms. Season tickets for the Broadway series cost $91.92-$781.92. They are available at kcstarlight.com and 816-363-7827. The concert schedule at Starlight, which has been operating since 1950, will be announced later. Here is the 2027 musical schedule: “ The Wiz,” June 15-20: This twist on “The Wizard of Oz” with Motown, gospel and disco music premiered on Broadway in 1975, when it

Photos: Trampled by Turtles brought high-energy bluegrass to The Truman

Trampled by Turtles brought the kind of emotional, evocative energy a band can create by honoring traditional bluegrass with a contemporary twist. With mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar, and upright bass driving the music, the Minnesota-based group has perfected their lightning-fast picking and a willingness to let acoustic instruments get loud. The strings chase one another, trade melodies, and build momentum until the music feels like it’s barely holding itself together. Beneath that speed is a more reflective side, with Dave Simonett’s songwriting bringing a thoughtful, sometimes melancholy edge to songs that can turn an entire room into a singalong. That balance between introspection and outright musical abandon has helped Trampled by Turtles move beyond the bluegrass scene and onto stages shared with artists across the Americana, folk, and rock worlds.
