Seneca Golf Course

«Play at Seneca, it will be FUN!» they said. WRONG. Don’t do it. I have played there numerous times only because I live around the corner. Every time I say, «it will be better this time». NOPE.
They stagger their tee times 8 minutes apart. Really?! It takes 8 minutes for 4 people to tee off and then get to their balls. If you enjoy waiting on every shot then this is the course for you. Set aside 7 hours if you are trying to play 18 holes, and don’t even think about sneaking a cooler onto the cart, they WILL take it from you.
Staff sucks, food sucks, couldn’t even get onions for my crappy hot dog. Really? no onions? geez. You are better off playing at Crescent Hill. You could land a B-​52 bomber on their first fairway. Much better course even though there are no sand traps and its only 9 holes. Still better than Seneca.

I only play 8 or 10 rounds of golf a year, but with my travels, have been fortunate to play some of the best courses in the world. I have some natural talents for golf, but not my first choice of activity.
In any case, I do prefer public courses — believe in what they stand for, especially with the legions of elitist private courses in the United States. Well, at least before I tried the Seneca course. Just not all that well laid out, managed or kept up. Sort of feels like a beginners course. I found the management to be somewhat snobby, perhaps they have been fired from private courses and carry a chip on their shoulders.
If visiting Louisville, there’s much better courses to catch a round on. If you live in Louisville, have some respect for your game.

When the weather gets cold, I like to think about things I will do when the weather is warm!
Included in that is heading to Seneca Golf Course. I’m not a great golfer, but — thankfully — it’s a sport I can continue to work on well into my golden years. In Louisville we have a wonderful system of metro parks to help us enjoy the outdoors when the temperatures are out of the single digits.
If I don’t have much time, but want to spend a half hour or so outside, I work on my driving and chipping/​putting. It’s easy to pull up to the clubhouse at Seneca and pay for a bucket of golf balls. The first half is used to practice driving, usually with a 3-​iron, unless I’m feeling capable and coordinated, in which case I might venture to use a wood.
Once I start to get worse, and get T’d off with my teeing off, I’ll head over to the putting green. Arms like a pendulum, I try hard not to break my wrists as I aim for a hole in one putt. And I may round things out with some chipping, although I’ve never been very good at putting a perfect arc on my golf ball as I try and launch it out of the sandpit and up onto the green.
In any case, I always find that a few minutes at Seneca are the perfect way to close out a long summer’s day. Just don’t forget the mosquito repellant!

The course is fairly nice and has a decent layout except for a couple odd holes. The biggest problem is they just ram as many groups as they can on with no concern for the course getting clogged up. If you are OK with a 5 hour round then it’s worth a try.
