Sweetbriar Golf Club - Legacy 18

We played after an outing & lots of ball marks. Greens are soft!

First, I want to say that this is probably the nicest condition course on the west side of Cleveland. And pace of play was just fine at a hair over 4 hours for a foursome. However, this course probably has the worst group of starters I've ever seen. They send out a 4, then a 2, then they force me and my buddy to pair up with the next 2, then send out another right behind us. Why do that???? Oh because they booked the other half of our tee time, not because it was busy or it made sense.

The back 9 is truly a championship level design, but the front 9 is very jammed in with several tee shots that force you to aim into someone's backyard or a hazard. Holes 5, 6 ,8, 9 and 15 need redesigned. Or at least the tee box moved or trees cut down. I would never pay full price for this course, but it was a really fun day. It's very much worth it when you can get a deal.

Awesome day - timing just right @ 12:30 to avoid jam & great pace-of-play. Greens were a little sticky, and people have to repair their ball marks, but course conditioning great, especially considering the 90* heat. Starters do a great job, and paired this single up with others for an enjoyable round. My golf wasn't that great, but my tired old swing is my only excuse.

Course is in great condition, greens a little marked, but I played after a huge combo-course golf outing. I repaired a lot of ball-marks, but greens held & putted nicely. The best thing about playing after an outing, was wide-open course & my 2some played 18 in about 2.5hrs. All the par3s had deep (back-of-green) pin-placements, so yardage gun was to our advantage. The course played long, after rains previously in the week, but even more so tomorrow, as we finished right before a Thunderstorm would dump more rain.

Took my kids to play the old 18 at Sweetbriar and was pleasantly surprised at how playable it was. The greens were in great shape for the type of course it was, the kids loved it, and it was fun for me as well. Definitely better shape than it used to be. Totally worth the $25/pp with a cart for 18.

Great course .... wish they took care of sweetbriar 18 the same way

This course had great greens. The fairways were average but the greens were so nice that it got the good rating.

Excellent course and friendly staff. Highly recommend playing this course. Like playing a NC/SC. Course in cleveland

Nice course in good condition but awful pace of play. The norm is 5+ hour rounds while the rangers drive around and say nothing to groups that are holding everyone up.

Normally love Sweetbriar played there 40 times but this was painful. Cart path only but the amount of standing water and high uncut grass was painful. No Rangers and pace of play was 5 hours plus. Definitely should have offered some compensation or something as on this day not worth the cost.

Rained the day before my round, but mistakenly thought they would have proper drainage, or i guess any drain system at all. I thought wrong. The course was an absolute pond. Not just wet, standing water in every fairway. There is no way this course should have been open for play. I went back to the starter after about 4 holes and said that it was entirely too wet to try to play that day, and the starter said try them again another day. If they would have given me a rain check for the 14 holes i couldnt play due to conditions, maybe i would have given them another chance.

This course was a soggy mess. I understand cart path only, but when the course is under water well that's a different story. I've played here plenty of times but this has to be the worse. You would think that they would give you a warning about how wet the course actual is, but we got nothing from the person is side or the starter sitting in his nice dry both.
