Description
WPA crews completed the first nine holes of the Seneca Golf Course in suburban Cleveland in 1940. From the website GolfNow.com: “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.” In 2010, Course B at Seneca was closed; it is unclear whether this closure includes any WPA work.
