B at Seneca Golf Course

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.

This course is getting better, the fairways have few dead spots and the greens are in pretty good condition. Not a bad value if you can get a good deal through golf now. But, the tall grass in between holes will gobble up balls quickly, so you better keep it straight.

The course has not been maintained and the fairways and roughs have multiple drainage swalls that make for very uncomfortable riding throughout. Every 10 feet there is a swail and unsure if this was meant to be there or just from no maintenance.

Course is over all in decent condition. Grass is nice and green. There is a lot of tall grasses between all the holes so if you miss left or right you will lose your ball almost every time which is really the only part that makes it challenging. The worst part about this course is the ditches ever 20 yards over the whole course. Almost unbearable to drive the cart. It looks like they put in drain lines or irrigation lines all over and then all the ditches settled and now its like running over inverted speed bumps literally every 20 yards. Bad enough to make me not want to go back there. but the location makes me go back just out of convenience then the first hole i remember why i shouldn't come back

Very wide and open fairways, but if you go off you're in tall grass. Greens are not very fast but not slow either. Very good bunkers and very well maintained overall. Good length and and they have 2 full 18 hole courses so you can go frequently and not get bored. On some holes, (I noticed it more on course A) they have these shallow trenches that run across the fairway. They're not big, only a few inches deep and a foot or two wide and they aren't bald or anything, they are just a little uncomfortable to ride over. Then only downside of Seneca and it's not enough to keep me away! Overall great experience

Needs upkeep rough too high fairways bumpy. Too many walkers holding up course.

The back nine is being closed and the course will have 27 holes (3 9 hole tracks). Both the front and back had ruts every 10 to 15 yards that ran the width of the fairways. The golf cart needed to be slowed to a crawl to traverse them. I suggest wearing a kidney belt to avoid the jarring OR you might want to make a game of it and try to avoid them like you were in a mine field of WWII... In fairness to the new owners they are making improvements to a 36 hole course that has been neglected for some time. They will get the 27 holes back to a playable condition with some TLC and hard work!

When we got there the staff started us on A then moved us to B course and then back to B course. The grounds are horrible there are large holes in the middle of fairways and trenches cutting across fairways. One tee box appears as though it is in the middle of a construction site with mounds of dirt and debris on either side of you. The layout is very confusing at one point we were mixed up between holes 9A and 9B after wasting time looking for the tee box my playing partner and I both took par for that hole and skipped it. Several hills on the course causing you to hit blindly and then search for your shot, or inadvertently hit into another group.

The fairway is like a washboard with drainage depressions every 20 yards, otherwise the course is in good condition. The roughs are fairly short and the ornamental grass is out of play.

Course is very walkable.

Fairways are wide, but if you miss you may not find your ball in the deep rough. Conditions were good even after heavy rain the preceding week.

I hadn't played here for 30 years and took my big-hitting son to Seneca B on a Sunday afternoon. The course wasn't crowded and we made our way around rapidly. The course is not long by modern standards (except for a few par fours on the back nine). The premium is hitting the fairways and the smallish greens. Stay out of the wispy grass or you'll give up a lot of strokes. Obviously some folks gave up balls, too, since we found almost two dozen. A nice course that requires accuracy and precise club selection. Worth a try.

The course was in decent condition, greens are really slow, not much break and not very consistent. The worse thing about the course is the high grass that surrounds all the fairways so if you hit a bad shot it is nearly impossible to find it, also the course is poorly marked for yardage. Besides that its not too bad of a course and I would golf there again

Nice public course. First time there and would enjoy playing the A course also.

The greens are really starting to become consistant which is good to see. The biggest problem is the ridiculous heavy growth that frames almost every hole just yards from the fairways. This results in a dramatic pace of play concern while players look for balls that after hitting fairways, travel a short distance and then become lost in knee high grass. I hope the Metroparks continues to whip this traditional track into shape.

This course has improved immensely since I played it 3 years ago, but that is simply the difference in the Metroparks running it instead of the City of Cleveland. This course is a good layout, and is in the process of recovery from years of negligence. Now it is being watered regularly and the grass being cut often. The greens hold, the fairways are wide and the length is good, nothing too short and some monster par 5's. I would play it again for the deal, but I often think the Metroparks overcharge for their courses.

I never bother playing Seneca since Sleepy Hollow is just around the corner, however with great deals on GolfNow it was worth a "shot." Though not as challenging or nice as Sleepy Hollow, Seneca is surprisingly a solid municipal-style course. The course is relatively flat (good for walkers) comprised mostly of tree-lined holes with fairly open fairways. Since being acquired, signs of the Cleveland Metroparks efforts are really beginning to show especially regarding the course condition. The course remains a work-in-progress reflective of ongoing dirt-leveling littered around the course. With continuing efforts and resources, the course has the potential of being a top-played Metorpark course. Note: One annoying thing is the unnoticeable natural speed bumps litter all over the course, which can make riding very unpleasant.

If your ball isn't in the fairway, good luck finding it. This course needs serious attention. Hopefully the metroparks will invest some money in it in the future; however, as is, I would not play it ever again.

I haven't played this course in a long time, way before it was taken over by the metro parks system. The course seemed to maintained much better than it was in the past. I seem to remember teeing off dirt patches in the past, but not any more.

Only the volunteer staff knew how to properly address patrons or at least smile. Seems like a petty glum, low energy group.

The fairways were at best a 2nd cut. When you miss the fairway, good luck finding your ball. Between the 6"-8" rough and trim trash everywhere, some with 2' of growth around it, we were wondering if gas prices have reduced them to cutting once per month.

Last, do NOT plan to work on you putting here. Shag carpet covered with sand. Sleepy Hollow is 2 miles away, same price, and much, much more fun.

The pace of play was excellent until the final 3 holes when we ended up behind a party of 5. The course conditions are far superior to the conditions 3 or 4 years ago when it was a cow pasture. The range is $3 for 23 balls that you can fetch yourself and stay all day. The price is a bit steep for a county owned course, particularly not their prized gem. There are 36 holes, with the A course being a bit more open than the cramped B. At the golf now price of (after taxes and fees) $18 each to ride 18, you cannot pass it up!
