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.

Going down fast
Used to be a really nice course but this was the worst I ever seen it. Rough tee boxes. Dead areas in the fairways. Lot of dirt. Construction. Greens punched and didn't warn us. Fairways punched so they made us do cart path only. Very bad experience overall.

Good value
1st time playing this course, a nice Metro Park course!
Excellent
Last minute round at legacy. Got paired up with two ladies and one senior. Had a relaxing, enjoyable and entertaining round. The greens were a little bumpy because it was late in the afternoon. It’s probably best to go to the course in the early morning before heavy traffic. It’s worth the money. Enjoy
Nice course! Play lagged.
The course itself was well kept, staff absolutely Great! Took me 5 and a half hours to do 18. It’s not a long course but a lot of waiting on the back nine.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, Deyampert6543030. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Sweetbriar Golf & Pro Shop - Legacy Course!
Mixed bag - Over zealous Marshalls Ruin a Good Day
Right off....the biggest reason for the two stars are the marshalls who are, shall we say, over zealous in executing their duties.
They are fast to chide you for falling behind after a bad hole (and some of the hole designs don't do anything to help this either) but do nothing to help pace of play such as assist in looking for lost balls which is the main delay on a couple of holes (again, due to how the holes are designed). They lurk on the front nine like a cop lurks in a speed trap. Really ruins a round when you are being watched like that.
Also confounding is that they don't recognize those legally carrying a handicap flag to gain greater access on the course as happened to one person in our group. We were told to get the cart away from the green in one instance with no regard for the blue handicap flag flying on the cart. A courtesy that should be extended to those who have legitimate accessibility issues like on most courses.
Also confounding: no drop zones, no seed bottles on the carts nor no seed buckets on tee boxes to fix divots.
Nice course
Course in good shape. Pace of play was great, layout is straight forward but a little short even on the tips.
Great course, questionable greens
Tea boxes, fairways, and rough we're all in great condition due to the rain we had earlier in the week. But the greens were full of pitch marks that people failed to repair. Since they are tearing down the sweet buyer 18, it seems as though everyone is playing the legacy course, and not taking care of it. Just know if you play later in the day you were going to have to compete with very bumpy greens
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, u000001988660! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Sweetbriar Golf & Pro Shop - Legacy Course!
Sweetbriar Legacy in Great Shape
Legacy is fun to play; this afternoon was light play due to pending rain......and I did get wet, but intermittent rain, not enough to close the course. Back9 sty, #10 is tough par4, and didn't start playing well till front9, which scored -1 due to 13putts (birdies 2&5). Nice to see tee #6 moved back to origy position, which results in a great hole. Thanx to GolfNow for the great price ....and I will be back.

Bad conditions
Played today worse conditioned course I have played all year. Bunkers had rocks in them and the greens were horrible with huge gashes and imperfections everywhere.

Fun course and good conditions
I enjoyed the layout of this course and the conditions were pretty good. All of the staff was very friendly. Lots of unfixed ball marks in the greens but may have just been the people I was playing behind. Little pricey though.
