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.

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.
Finally a sunny day for golf
The course was in excellent shape. Good challenging golf course. Greens were fair. Made for an enjoyable round.
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.
Sweetbriar Course
Played the Sweetbriar 9 since Sweetbriar Legacy was booked full. It was a very good experience. Course layout was nice and in good condition. A few of the greens were kind-of banged up and needing some TLC. I assume due to Legacy getting most of the maintenance attention. Overall it's a reasonable price and course to play if you can't get onto Legacy.
Usually uncrowded
I like this course because it’s in very nice condition and on weekdays I can usually golf without much traffic
