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 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.
