About Seneca Golf Course
Seneca sits on 350 acres at the highest point in Cuyahoga County, in Broadview Heights, and it has been open since August 1, 1940. It's a park-style layout known for long par 4s and par 5s. The one people bring up is Furnace Run's 8th, a 603-yard par 5 into the prevailing wind with a pond waiting to the right of the green. Arnold Palmer's verdict, which the Metroparks still quotes: "It's a good testing course."
The City of Cleveland ran it until 2011, when Cleveland Metroparks took over and began rebuilding it nine holes at a time. Three nines were done first; the last one, Back A, closed in fall 2024, a new driving range opened in summer 2025, and as of July 2026 the final nine was nearly finished, bringing it back to a full 36 holes. There are five sets of tees, so the long holes don't have to play long.
The Metroparks' pace target is 4 1/2 hours for 18. The Back Nine Grille does burgers, dogs and fries, and single-rider Solorider carts are available at the regular cart fee for golfers with disabilities.
It's one of 111 courses Yoink watches in the Cleveland area, and the closest alternative is Briarwood Golf Club at Wiltshire, about 1 mile away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
