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.

Hole number seven is very picturesque. Photo submitted by mrawill on 06/06/2013
Great place
Early in the season and things were great. Only had time for the front 9 but it was great. Shot a 41. That’s actually good for me. Kudos to all the people that make things happen there.
Great layout easier greens
The legacy course has a cool layout and forgiving greens. It is great condition including the bunkers which reward a well played sand shot
Very disappointed
Course was very rough. Tees and fairways were spare and extremely dry. Back nine on Sweetbriar course was far worse. Almost like they quit doing ant maintenance.
Horrible condition
Played the front 9 of Sweetbriar today. Course was in horrible shape. Greens with huge area with no grass. Fairways were patchy and full of weeds at best. Play was VERY slow. Came out to play 9 holes. 2.5 hours later we were still on the 7th whole. No rangers to be found. Teens cursing, screaming, racing golf carts and crashing into each other as if they were bumper cars. I will never go back.
Best Conditions and Well Monitored by Friendly, Experienced Rangers
Played as a threesome on an early Sunday afternoon and found the course, with the exception of hole # 6, where some modifications have not fully taken hold, in beautiful shape. The greens were green and rolled true and fast. The course was better than several similarly priced courses we’ve played in the last sixty days. I appreciated having rangers involved and keeping the pace of play reasonable (4 hrs and 20 minutes).
The course was in the best shape that I can recall playing it. Wish I could play again today!
Sweetbriar Golf
Worst golf course I have even played. No maintenance at all on "fairways" and limited on the greens. Layout subpar and the staff unfriendly. Avoid this course.
Cart fee money grab
Played the course today for 70$. They charged me 10$ extra to ride alone. I was paired up with people over 50 and did not want to risk exposing them unnecessarily being a younger, active individual. At 70 dollars this course is way over priced. The greens hardly break at all and they are quite torn up and damaged from ball marks not healing up efficiently.
Charging 70 for 18 and a cart on a Friday morning left a bad taste in my mouth with the golf club. Won’t be back for a long time. Cleveland golf is over priced.
OverPriced
This was probably the most OVERPRICED course I have ever played. The fairways were not nice, there were sections that were unplayable and brown. The greens were just awful. there were pieces of the greens that were unputtable and there were huge dviots that made the greens look like craters. This is a $30 course at best.
