Decent Track

I haven't played this course for 18 years I would guess. Only played it that one time. So it was like new to me. Nice layout. Condition was a little sticky. When it dries out, I think it will be a bit more playable. Looking forward to trying it again as well as the new 9 they are finishing this month.

Feat location

This course being a one of metro parks own has the typical features of metro park courses; the only problem was rough ride on the fair ways. The whole course looks it's under construction.

Great junior tees

Took my son out here. Loved the junior tees on the B course. The A course looks like they've put some work into it. I'll come back to play again.

Bring 2 dozen balls

If you don't hit every single fairway your ball will be gone. It is ridiculous. I will never ever play here again. Lost a ball on almost every hole and I am a 14 handicap.

No real improvement

I haven't played Seneca in 3 years. I was expecting a little more change since the metro parks took over but it looks like the process is taking longer then I thought.
The condition of the greens is about the only notable difference. Metro parks keeps raising the price but the conditions are getting worse.

Regular Golfer

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.

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.

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.

This course has no wait time.

We were able to play each hole with little to no wait time. What fun that is.

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!
