Seneca Golf Course

Very Disappointing… Won’t Return. I had hoped that when the Metroparks took over this course, it would be a nice place to play. Where to begin: Thick knee high grass/​weeds line the fairways… hit your ball 10 yards off the fairway, it’s lost unless you step on it. 2) you can easily lose balls even in the rough 5 yards off the fairway and with the clover, you can lose balls in the fairway. Yes they have beautified some holes by adding sand traps and the fairways and greens are decent., but unless you hit it on the fairway, you are slowing down play looking for your ball and 9 – 10 times you’re not finding it. Glad I played it as a single as I could never bring our group to play here! Stay away unless you enjoy slow play, losing balls and frustration!

Seneca has the potential to be an amazing golf course, but it just has some shortcomings. It’s reasonably priced and pretty well kept on the greens. The rough is well rough. Good luck finding your ball! Driving on this course can be a hazard, very bumpy and uneven. I know a couple years ago they had to dig up a bunch for drainage reasons, but they never really fixed the grounds itself to make for a smoother fare way. Never the less, I really enjoy playing here. The course is pretty long and can be challenging on different holes, but I think that makes it more fun! The staff is super friendly and the carts are nice. The driving range is cheap and you can hit as many balls as you would like. Some may be too good for this place, but personally I like it and I’ll continue to return!

When I moved to Broadview Hts several years ago this place was a cow pasture with brown greens. Even though it is only a few blocks away I avoided it like the plague.
SInce the Cleveland Metroparks took over, they’ve made it into a decent course. The greens are green, smooth and not too soft, not too hard. The fairways are consistent, nothing like Sleepy Hollow, but in fair shape. Tee boxes in good shape.
The Metroparks shold be given credit for taking a course that was not maintained for years and making it into a pleasant place to play.
There are certainly more challenging and picturesque course around, but if you want a easy to moderately challenging course that you can play 9 in two hours or less, check it out.
If you’re looking for free golf balls, this is the place for you. Put your dandelion puller in your bag, and check out the water holes on the B course. The water hazards have been dredged, and the dredgings are spread out between holes and are impregnated with lost balls from years gone by. You can pry the balls out of the dirt, while supplies last.

This is my least favorite golf course in the CLE Metroparks system. The fairways aren’t watered well, tee boxes same, hard to even get the tee in the ground. There is rough on both sides of every fairway throughout the course so if you mishit your ball, chances are you’re not finding it!
If you’re looking for lower cost golf, any of the other CLE Metropark courses are better than this one. Also, Seneca is technically located in Broadview Heights, not Cleveland as stated on this site.
