Sweetbriar Golf Club - Legacy 18

Sunday afternoon round. Good value and plenty of staff available. Guys in front of us playing about three balls a piece slower pace of play drastically. Ranger watched it happen and didn't do a thing about it. Greens rolled really poorly and appeared to be in pretty rough shape .... Love the course have played it a bunch as I live 10 min away. Was very disappointed in today's round

I played the Sweetbriar Course. Greens were in great shape and rolled well. Fairways and rough were burnt out, which is understandable given the very dry summer in NE Ohio.

Unfortunately, the experience at Sweetbriar is awful. The greed of management was obvious by how overbooked the course was and the incredibly slow pace of play. At several points during the round there were four groups between the green and the next hole's tee box. The experience for every golfer would significantly improve if management would turn away the extra money and stop allowing so many golfers on the course. I understand that is the decision management has made; however, for my next round of golf I will make the decision for another golf course.

Played their old course. The drought is affecting this course pretty severely, so I won't hold the brown rough and the patchy fairways against them too much, but they do not maintain this course like they do the Legacy. It's barely 6000 from the blues, no sand, and a small creek meanders through the course as the only real trouble. The greens were in nice shape, had good speed, but did not break. The biggest issue I have is that on 5 or 6 holes there are trees that stick out over the blue tees that really need trimmed back. Good course for beginners and walkers. I've played here a few times over the years and beware, the drainage on the course is very poor. If there's a good rain even 4-5 days before your round it may still be cart path only.

Course in terrible shape. Fairways were the worst! Members n starter were rude. I'll never go back.

Considering how hot & dry the weather has been, course is in great shape, with nice putting greens. Fairways are hard & fast, but the difficult holes still require good swings at the ball. I was joined with 3 other singles (the Starter does a great job of making groups if you have no friends), and they chose the White shorter tee markers. I played the front9 well, but wilted down the stretch and hurt my scoring potential. Staff does a fine job, and clubhouse is naturally well kept & enjoyable. Like I said in my title, this is a public course with the Country Club service & appeal.

So, the course is beautiful and well kept. I have played here numerous times and love it. The weekends here the pace is a bit slow, but to be expected. With that being said, today was awful. Played behind a group of 3 who felt the need to play from the black tees "the tips" first player shanks into the water, drops a second ball and worm burns it just to the ladies tees. Players 2 and 3 both hit massive banana balls into another holes fairway and continue to hit second tee shots at the first hole :-/ On numerous occasions as we had the joy of following them it was nothing but chunks and skull shots and banana balls all day, not to mention the rock concert they were conducting with their bluetooth speaker. I am a 5 handicap and don't feel the need to play from the blacks here the course is plenty challenging from the Blues.

I also am not saying that the black tees are reserved for the best players, but come on, play to your skill level. They also failed to repair their divots ( more like chunks) of turf. At some point after the turn, they must have caught up to friends or whatever and started playing as group of 5. The worst part of the ordeal was the ranger saw it, said nothing, and allowed it to continue.

I know this is petty complaining but I guess the hack artists today just finally go to me. But, seriously if you have not played here before it is a wonderful little course.

Totally enjoyed my day of golf at this course. Will look forward to coming again soon.

I'll first say that on the west side, legacy is one of the top courses. However, the lower rating is solely due to the extremely slow pace of play, at any time of day. The starters TRY to help with that, however they throw groups into the back 9.. Without even checking who's coming up the fairway on #9. These groups tend to be uneducated at proper rules/etiquette. Such as, letting a twosome play through the slow pace of play foursome. The rangers are either powerless, or too easy on the groups they pass... Inform your foursomes (some times they let groups of 5 play) that you are to let faster, smaller groups play through.. A twosome can hold up a foursome for half a hole, where a slow foursome can hold up an entire golf course. Ok that's it, other than that.. Great course!!!!

First the course was in wonderful shape. The greens were a little slow and didn't break at all straight putts all day. A couple Mickey Mouse holes on the jammed in. You can see where a lot of bunkers have been removed, but the grass has grown in well. Sometimes it seems the ownership was more concerned with building a course that looks pretty from the development homes rather than true championship layout. Barely 6000 yards from the blue tees. I guess I should have played the blacks. Play it if you can get a deal, and the staff was excellent, plus beverage cart on weekend.

Note: No walking allowed on Legacy course due to distance between holes.

I have both knees replacement the front nine was wet but no way was the back nine wet we had to find yardage markers which slow down play. We could not find no drinking water on this course. I purchased a cart because of my bad knees. If I knew cart path only I would had stayed home. Brunswick

Despite an extremely wet Spring, The Legacy course was in very good and dry condition. Tee boxes and fairways were excellent. With the large amount of precipitation, the rough was definitively longer and thicker than normal. The greens were the only small downside, as they were peppered with a camouflaged look of different grasses that made them bumpier and harder to read than is usual here.

Showed up at 6:40pm to walk 9 holes. Ben in the shop was very kind to direct me the fastest 9 hole route before sunset. Not that Ben needs a raise but a well earned pat on the back is in order for his outstanding service while I was in the shop.

The course was just my style for a guy who sprays tee shots all over the place, didn't lose a ball and every hole is right on front of you so no surprises. The GolfNow app helped me sniff out the river in front of 7 green and 9 tucked green as I couldn't tell from the tee.

Conditions were expected for the end of a perfect day in April. No bunkers I think and minimal water hazards made it very playable. Would have never stopped if it didn't pop up on the GolfNow app as I was traveling thru town and glad I did, give it a try.

Played there today. Went out early as I usually do. Didn't have to wait at all. Course is in fantastic shape. Greens roll great. Staff is excellent. Can't wait to play there again.

For mid April course is in tremendous shape. Great value and layout is challenging but allows for a few mishaps. Pace was fine.

The course was in great condition. The value through Golfnow is unbelievable. I can't wait to use this website again.

The Sweer Briar Legacy in the fall and spring is a great value.

I didn't have high expectations for golfing in November, but I was impressed with the conditions of the golf course. It's a fun course to play, it's not difficult, but it's not as easy as say Springvale. The starter isn't very good at his job and is rude. Had a tee time for 12:48, but probably didn't tee off until after 1:00. Put us off behind a 4some who's tee time was a after ours. His reasoning was because they were on the schedule (they called in and paid full) versus us doing it online, which was more work for him. It has a convenient driving range right next to the clubhouse and a putting green to practice before teeing off.

For late October golf in Ohio it would be hard to beat this course for conditions, Hot Deal was an exceptional value. Played again the next day,

AS a first time player here i thought this course had a different feel to it, alot of doglegs, mostly left ,which is always a challenge for average hackers like myseif ,but i felt very confident and at ease due to how great the fall conditions were, the water hazards were a suprise with some running across the fairways ,great deals, great courses, than again!

I live in the area, and play there quite a bit. I know that it's fall, and lots of courses are aerating, but the greens were terrible, and there was even large areas in the fairways and rough that had been done add well. It was ok fir a 10$ hot deal tee time, but automatic 2 putt on the greens of you go. You won't make anything outside 3 ft.
