Sweetbriar Golf Club - Legacy 18
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.

Golfer Reviews
Excellent golf course
Friendly staff on arrival, new golf carts! Bonus the hot dogs were good! Overall course was in great shape for October! And the bunkers were very taken care off some of the best bunkers I’ve played! My partner and I were actually paired with three so first time I’ve ever had 5 in a group but we finished in 4 hrs! Greens and tee boxes were In good shape, rolled smooth! Will be back!
Course Assessment
I really like this course, as it has a nice layout and demands that you keep a pace, since it is popular. The leaves had fallen so quickly that they were all over the fairway which made it hard to find the ball. Otherwise, the course is challenging for rookies like me.
No carts allowed off the cart path
Frankly I don’t have big problem with it but it creates a lot of walking and with a foursome it can really slow down the pace of play. Again, especially for the price I don’t mind but my wife and her friend complained a lot and personally I’m still hearing about it a day later. Luckily the weather is about to turn to crap and in less than two weeks I’ll be playing in Florida. Over and out!
Our favorite course!
We always have a great time playing either sweetbrier or Legacy as they are both in great shape! We love the restaurant as well because they have great food and drinks!
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.
One of the best Staff/Course on the West Side of CLE
Very Friendly staff from checking in all the way to19th hole. Great Course Conditions for amount of play.
Clubhouse restaurant
