Sweetbriar Golf Club - Legacy 18
Rating Snapshot
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.

The course has some great holes.
This is a good maintained course staff is friendly legacy course it's sister course is one of the best course around good time.
Private Like Public Course
One of the best conditioned public courses in NE Ohio. Multiple tees set for every level of skill. A must play. Country club fairways & greens. A fantastic club house. Pricey green fees but, deals are offered.
Great atmosphere
This course is always is amazing condition. We play it at least twice a week. Beautiful layout, and amazing greens.
Very friendly staff. Highly recommended
not much of sand coming into play but very well laid-out course
One of the nicer courses on the west side.
Usually well maintained with faster greens. Nice clubhouse and decent staff. One of my favorite courses on the west side of Cleveland.
Very challaning golf course
Good golf course some very challening holes has alot of trees which I hit just about all of them with a lot of water as I lost a few balls had a good time
Great course and great value
The weather was great, and the course was in great condition. The fairways and greens were soft, and the rough was well kept, and not too difficult to play out of. I have never had a bad experience on this course and can't wait to play it again.
Very nice, moderately challenging course.
Course was in good condition, well manicured, courteous staff, great price.
Good course for the money.
This has always been a well kept course and is always fun to play. Over the years however, it seems that they aren't putting as much effort into keeping it as pristine as it once was. It is still better than most courses in the area, but I fear that they may let things slide. I really hope that they care for the course and keep it beautiful!
Legacy is in good shape....I wish people would fix their own ball marks. If you're a good enough golfer to make a ball mark - fix it!
Nice course....nice clubhouse and grill. Looks like many new people working in the grill - some friendly, some not so much. . Not overly long but challenging course and good greens (other than players need to fix their own ball marks).
Great Course Even Better Deal
Great course. Challenging from the tips. Worth every penny at full price. Great conditions for so early in the year. Will definitely play here again.
You get what you pay for.
Expected this course to have some flaws but more than I expected. Still early in the season though.
The greens will get better.
Played Legacy on Tuesday, April 9th. The fairways and the rough were in very nice shape.
But the greens were still a bit rough after being aerated last year. I play this course frequently because I live near it, and it's in great shape most of the time. Again, putts didn't roll true, but once the greens are back to normal, I know they will.
Underrated Course
This is one of my favorite courses in the Cleveland area (if not my favorite). Such an underrated layout; it has a certain Mrytle Beach-feel. For a public course, you cannot understate how well they do with keeping the conditions top-notch. The rates are a little expensive so GolfNow is the only way I can play it. Just love Legacy.
recommend
The greens were airified and sanded. It would have been nice to know this before playing.
Nice fairways; fast greens; great condition; best public course in Lorain County
