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.
Horrible experience.
The course is in bad shape. The starter was rude and let 4 twosome go behind our foursome. Then told my foursome to pick up the pace rather than combining the twosomes. This ruined my day! The golfers I played with, as well as myself, are considerate golfers and understand pace of play. We took 4 1/2 hours to play 18, which given the soggy course conditions and the fact this was our first time out this year, wasn't that bad! I paid for my round as well as everyone else on the course! I will not be rushed playing a game that is meant to be fun and relaxing. It was also a problem that the course's eatery was closed and the only beverages they were serving was warm soda! I, like many other golfers,like to enjoy a hot dog at the turn as well as a COLD beverage! It is safe to say I will not recommend this course to anyone or return myself!
Requires immediate attention!!!! Do not play!
Seneca has potential in the layout to be a decent course, but with a clueless staff, a novice crowd of golfers, and abysmal course conditions, I doubt that day will ever come. And when I say "clueless staff", I am not exaggerating one bit! Easily the best thing about Seneca is the consistent yet varying layout. The course really does have potential and actually has some very scenic holes, but it needs a complete overhaul to ever have a chance. Anything more than the change under your car seat, and you're paying too much to play Seneca.
Good value, greens in great shape
Course is improving over last couple of years. Played course "a" and about a third of the holes had some rough fairways but the greens were in great shape on all holes.
Moderately challenging with decent distances from the black.
Not many golfers on the course for a holiday weekend, surprising since the fees here are a good value.
Bumpy ride
You're in for a bumpy ride when you hit the course..... Greens were in pretty good shape but the fairways need some work. Course is way too bumpy. Seemed like every second or two we hit a bone jarring bump while driving the course. Would play again if I could get the hot deal price but this place isn't worth the full price they charge.
