The course is under renovation, the fairways are hard but it hasn't rained in 2 weeks. tee boxes were hard to put tees in and greens are watered only.
We did see a beverage cart on the course but only twice and it was near the 9th and 18th holes so we didn't get anything.
I have great expectations now metro parks purchased the course but give them a few years.
Seneca Golf Course
course has four mines but they have a great deal under repair. Greens are very small and slow. The course team did not do a good job of managing the pace of play even when called out.
Just ok
Great layout but the greens are slow. This makes for a very long round and constant frustration. We found the course on golf now and they're making headway to be better. The staff was great, food at the turn good, but the greens were a big let down.
seneca course conditions and play
course condition fairways and green were in very good shape considering the amount of rain the last two weeks. Green were in excellent condition but sand traps were water hazards, that understandable due to the weather
Wait a Year
The A course is 100% under construction and it seems that they are forgetting to maintain the B course. You'll find great deals for this place this season but don't fall for it! Golf elsewhere. Rude starters and poorly maintained grounds... There are better courses within a 5 mile drive of here.
Under Construction
They are currently redoing Back 9 of B and it is closed also front side of A is closed. Traps had not been raked . Moderate to fair. won't play again.
Can't wait to see the improvements when they are done!!
I haven't played this course in years...fairways & greens were well manicured...the high grasses in the rough are :very well place" & make it a challenge at times !! Some parts under contruction...shoould be nice when done. Unless you get discounts- it's a little high priced for a public metro parks course..could use some color in the landscaping , no ladies tees & forget the Tee box signs...distances are way off....use the score card.
Nice layout
Good, long holes. Played B course. Mature trees. Fairways good condition, even in the fall, with lots of leaves.
Greens very good shape, not fast.
Challenging, with unforgiving rough, often 10 yards off green. Really heavy, deep grass on most holes- you just won't find a ball when you're in it, let alone hit out of it.
I really like the course and the layout, but most people I golf with won't play here because of the rough, and lost balls. Pace of play today was excellent, was wide open (cool Sunday late October), finished in 3 hours but I imagine in peak times it may grind to halt with hunts for balls in the deep grass.
When they re-do the course, they really should knock down the heavy grass in many of the deep rough areas for speed of play.
Cow Pasture
Decent value. However the course is a cow pasture with greens.
Seneca course a
Had a great time however the tall grass on the outsides of the rough should be a little better kept. Had a new golfer with me and basically stopped looking for his off tee shots after hole 3. Other than that awesome round of golf!
Getting better
Not an very challenging course but since the Metroparks has taken over the course conditions keep getting better. The greens were in very good condition. Will be back with deals from Golfnow.
Rained out
Have to go back to Seneca as bad thunderstorm caught us on front 9. One piece of advice if you ever play Seneca - Don't spray! If you do, you WILL LOSE MANY BALLS!
Seneca A
The staff is very friendly and the greens were in very good condition. The fairways are a problem; they have what looks like drainage ruts in every fairway that makes the cart bounce you around. It gets irritating as the round goes on. If the fairway ruts were fixed, I would play there often since the price would make it a great value.
Good recovery by MetroParks
Fairways in good shape. Greens fast. Rough cut short for fast play. Friendly staff. - Seneca A is very playable for most golfers.
Easy and Fun
This course is very well maintained by the Metroparks, tee to green. The staff was proud to talk about the improvements underway as well. Other than a few monster par 5's, the B course is not at all a challenging layout, but it is a lot of fun. Pace of play was excellent and the greens were slow but well kept. I had read some questionable older reviews that complained about course conditions, and was somewhat nervous about the shape the course would be in; I worried for nothing. This is a solid Metroparks course and I plan to return soon!
Plays longer than it looks
I have never played this course and we wanted to give it a shot. The staff was very friendly and couldn't have been nicer. The fairways and greens were very nice. The rough on the other hand was tall and would swallow your ball up. Most likely over grown because it had dumped rain for the past week, so that'll happen. Overall though, we enjoyed our round and will play it again.
