A at Seneca Golf Course

There were too many golfers. Very slow play.

Somehow are very difficult, which is OK.

There’s a lot of golfers hitting in the other fairway

Course was in poor condition fairways more resemble the rough at a lot of clubs. The greens were very shaggy and slow. Does not seem

like much has been done to them this year. On a positive note they are installing a large practice facility just outside a the clubhouse. This place has a long way to go in this market to warrant the $48 green fees. I’m going to give them a few months to get conditions improved and then I’ll try playing here again. Stay tuned.

Course overall in pretty good shape. People who work here are nice enough. The only thing I found a bit annoying is the number of “those guys” hitting from the tips. Course is all you want from the white tees fellas. Group in front of us all hit 2 balls off the first tee-from the blues.

After reading reviews I was expecting the worse but pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was. Loved the course layout and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely play again in the spring!

Course is adequate at best. Overpriced for the experience. I expect more from a metropark course. Course feels the same as it was 20 years ago when it was under poor maintenance. Just want your money

Tee boxes and fairways were patchy at best. Had to hammer in my tee. I saw 2 sand traps. Fairways had such terrible bumps in them (intentional drainage ruts) that it took out a kidney when riding in a cart! The staff was great, bathrooms gross. The Metropark owns this and usually does a much better job! I won't be playing this 9 again.

Back in the 40's when the course was built, the Front 9 or Front A course was what this course had been designated for many years. This particular 9 seen thee likes of Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and other Pros at that time competing in various tournaments like The Carling Open for one. There used to be foundation stones keeping a small shack up from the ground at one time, where you would buy your round. This 9 is now designated as "Back A". In my youth and throughout my time as a starter there, the back of A was with the B course nines. The back of A was feared as there were many long par 4 holes along with the behemoth 17th hole, a 608yd Par 5. The course finished with a 203 par 3 over water.

We played the renamed Back A. Overall the layout of the course stayed the same, but trees and hazards have come and gone. Many of the trees I remember are very tall now, or other course landmarks are totally gone. It's been about 5 years since I last attended mind you, a lot can change.

Metroparks likes a lot of native areas, so the old "cut through to the next tee" didn't exist anymore and many more unintentional balls were lost because of these natural areas. At one time it was all mowed, thusly giving the course a more tailored look. This is just my opinion as the course was in otherwise, fabulous shape. Greens were good, but not challenging fast, so I was able to attack the holes more readily. Seneca had the "August roll" already and brought back some great memories from 30 years ago when we would play forever. All this coming to mind while trying to catch my son as I was down a stroke or two, lol. Any of the nines at Seneca will test your driving and use of fairway wood-hybrid approach shots being quite common. Prepare to get your monies worth. Bring balls. Have fun.
