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.

Legacy In desperate need of repair
Fairways wrought with divots. Greens wrought with ball marks. 18 holes of neglect. Wouldn’t mind at half the price. In past course has been great. Could still be great. Not sure what the problem is. Probably supply chain issues.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the conditions of our fairways and greens. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will address the maintenance issues. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Slow Round
Extremely slow round. 4 group back up on the 3rd hold. A few groups in front of us were scrambling and it still took over 4:30hrs for 18 holes. Waited on every tee shot on every hole. Will not be back for some time. 7 minutes apart on tee times is lunacy. I realize everyone wants to maximize profits, but that's simply not enough time between groups. Rangers do nothing to improve pace of play. If you want to play in a reasonable amount of time, play elsewhere.
We are sorry to hear about your experience during your round. We apologize for the slow pace of play and the inconvenience it caused you. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention, and we appreciate your feedback.
