About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6634 yards
Slope 121
Rating 71.4

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.

Solid

Not as great of conditions as a handful of years ago, but overall not a bad track if you can find a good price to play.

RJ golf experience

There was no cart girl when we played. Cart girl should start earlier in the day to accommodate hunger golfers. Greens were a little scratched up in spots but overall okay.

Pace of play slow again

We have played here twice in the last 3 weeks on Saturday afternoon and both times pace of play was extremely slow. Course is also overpriced. Well over 5 hour round 2 groups waiting on every hole. First time never saw ranger other than when he drove past us with his clubs. Last time saw ranger 2 times in 5+ hours and he never seemed to do anything to speed things up even though we could see entire holes with no one on them.

First time

I thought this was a great course. The timing wasn't good, which is probably why we didn't have a problem getting a tee time. Lots of construction, course maintenance, etc. going on.

It’s the people

The staff are just the nicest most accommodating people. I enjoy the 9 hole course, it’s rarely crowded and in pretty good condition.
