Sweetbriar Golf Club - Legacy 18

Great value for the Golf Now price. Course is tough but fair. The greens were a little chewed up.

Enjoyed the course. It was well kept and a great layout.

The course is very challenging. Lots of mature trees guard the fairway on many of the holes. A good mix of par 3's, 4's and 5's. The greens are very fair. They have good speed and you are able to read the breaks. Overall, the course has tee boxes that are fair for all levels of players. I played from the back tees and my sister played from the fron tees and we both had an enjoyable round. The only downside was the tickness of the rough, which made it difficult to find golf balls that were not far off the fairway. This was due to terrible weather during the week not course maint.

Course condition was pretty poor. I guess you can blame it on the rain but it really didn't seem that wet in most places. But it was obvious that the "fairways" have not been cut in the past week or 2. I really couldn't even tell where the fairways were most of the time. I've worked on the grounds crew at a much nicer course and really don't think it was wet enough to excuse not cutting the grass. Also it was cart path only and we all hit right on one hole and we cut across the 6 inch long rough to get to the cart path for the next hole and the ranger yelled at us. It was completely dry where we crossed and it was the rough... get over yourself old man. Also when we checked in with the starter he forgot to write down that we checked in so he was sending groups off the back so we had to wait to make the turn. That being said, I could see a lot of potential in this place and might give it another try when it hasn't been raining so much.

Teed off @ 9:30 and had the landscaping mowers and blowers following us all day. When we went to check in, I'm not sure they could have been more dismissive and rude if they tried to. Definetley gave the feeling that we were somehow a lower level customer because we used golf now, instead of paying the full fare. We had some trouble booking the evening before and the gentleman was very quick to pass the buck to management and tell us to take it or leave it. I think we will choose to "leave it" in the future.

Pro shop staff ok. Starter, marshalls nice people. The fairways where soaked , or underwater from previous rains, drainage wasn't the best. All and all good value for the price.

another fine day at legacy. beautiful day and a nicely groomed course. food is good too

Excellent conditions considering all the rain recently. Legacy course drains very well. Staff is friendly & cool. Love the course.

This course should not have been opened on the day we played I know NE Ohio has gotten a lot of rain recently, but this course must not know what drainage is. There we lakes in the fairways and rough, and all the greens are elevated so in front of nearly all of them there were ten yard wide streams. The greens were very mushy and swelled up which made putting difficult and speed inconsistent. I can tell this course is pretty well maintained overall, just don't play out here after a rain. The course is shorter than short. The scorecard lists it at a hair over 6000 yards from the blues, and even with no roll I was hitting wedges to greens most of the day, it is probably more likely to be around 57-5800 yards from the tips. Need to trim some trees around the par 3 tee boxes as they block out some of the box and force you to either hit a fade or draw.

Sweetbriar is a decent course for the average golfer. It was probably too wet to allow people on the course the day I played. You do get a lot of avg golfers so play can be slow at times.

I've played both the Sweetbriar 18 and Legacy 18 around 10 times each over the last 2-3 years, and each time I'm always impressed with the staff as well as the course. The weather can be nasty in Northeast Ohio but the course always seems to bounce back quickly and be in good playing condition soon thereafter. It can be a little pricey and play can be slow depending on the day, butt the deal through GolfNow makes it an absolute no-brainer to give it a shot and enjoy.

This course is pretty well taken care of. Nice greens and well cut fairways. I will golf there again but that's probably because I made my first hole in one while we were there. It's worth $20 or so. But that's why I use this site, so I pay reasonable rates.

value was really good, unfortunately we had some inclement weather move in that destroyed my round

Mother Nature dumped 2.5" of rain on the Legacy the previous night and the course drained rather well. Greens were a little slow because of the abundance of water and the fact that mowers did not go out that morning. Greens still rolled true. There are a few challenging holes on the course but for the most part, the layout is quite simple. No gimmicky type holes.

The course has many tee options for all handicaps. Fairways and greens in good shape. Sand is in good shape which is rare. Most courses don't keep the bunkers up these days. Don't play at first light. The grounds keepers don't like to stop what they are doing to let you play. One drove his mower right past me while trying to hit approach. Great course when the maintenance is done.

Legacy has some very good holes, surrounded by housing development, but sufficient buffer-zone (you shouldn't hit into a backyard or house#. Legacy usually has firm/hardened fairways and playable rough, but a test to avoid water hazards & sand bunkers. Greens are good, although it would be nice if players knew how to repair ball marks #along with a few they didn't create). Sweetbriar has 36holes, and these courses are always extremely busy, but the staff ---particularly starters & rangers do a fine job expediting play. Again, GolfNow offers great discount deals, which can only enhance the golfing experience.

Not the most beautiful or challenging course but a good value. Great course to work on your game, greens were in great shape.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the course is in great shape and has challenging holes.

The course is in well maintained shape, plays a little more difficult than the ratings. Pace of play can be slow if you get stuck behind league teams.

i'm a 13 handicap and shot a 75.. i golfed with my old man who had a harder time and shot a 108.. great course if your looking for some good practice on a nice layout.. if you need a harder course i suggest legacy 18
