About

Located in Avon Lake, Sweetbriar Golf Club boasts two scenic 18-hole courses that are routed through natural wetlands and forests. The front nine of the Legacy Course was built in 2002 and the back nine was added in 2007. The nines have different landscapes, creating a diverse set of holes that will have you using all the clubs in your bag. The front nine has a links design with winding fairways and large greens while the back nine was carved from forests. With natural wetland areas and a number of interesting risk-reward par 5s, the back of the golf course has more of an east coast feel. The other 18-hole course at Sweetbriar was built in the 60s. It is shorter than the Legacy but is still challenging, which makes it great for beginners.

Cart Path Only

We encountered unfriendly staff right from the start. I made a mistake and they acted as if it would delay people teeing off on time. The girl at the counter admonished me for no reason. I knew what I did by accident so let’s move on. The Starter was also abrupt and rude. The cherry on top was cart path only on a beautiful day with good course conditions. There was no reason for it and no employer could provide any reasoning. For $75 it didn’t come close to the value as advertised.

A good day at legacy

Course design is beautiful, tough course but fair. Conditions are very good. Has been quite busy so greens get a beating by the end of summer.

Expensive. Poor tee boxes and green conditions. Rude staff

The cart guy was incredibly rude, essentially accusing us of trying to play without paying because his computer didn’t show us as paid (even though we had receipts). We paid $80 a person to play at 12:30. Some of these tee boxes and greens are not in good condition at all. Bare spots on greens, torn up tee boxes.

Saturday Afternoon @ Legacy

As a single, I got paired with some really nice guys, young big hitters, but they didn't seem to mind this old guy......I hit fairways & made a few pars. Course in good shape, but showed signs of stress & extreme play.. Greens were sticky slow & pitted with ball marks, but still good for a public course. Tee boxes are cut nice, but a mess from irons' divots, and no sand/dirt boxes to fill. Pace of play was over the 4hr mark, but expected on a Saturday afternoon. Holes 5&6 can be tough, but the par5s are pretty short & easy. Thanx to GN for the Hot Deals Special .....and I will be back to replay a couple of DbleBogies.

Starter is a jerk

The starter was totally rude and our entire group had something nasty said to each of them by him as we checked in, completely unprovoked. The pace of play was also bad and we were stacked up two groups deep waiting at each tee box for the last half of the round. Other than that, fine course.
