Seneca Golf Course

Using WPA funds, the city of Cleveland opened Seneca Golf Course on August 1, 1940 to provide “fine, low-cost, pay-as-you-play golfing” to westsiders. Only nine holes were opened with the purpose of gaining revenue to buy equipment to complete the other 27 holes the following year. Using a Parkland Design, where not a lot of earth was moved to create land features, both 18-hole courses have tree-lined fairways along gently rolling terrain and small greens.
