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.
Scorched Earth
There is much to be said about my experience at Sweetbriar golf course.
There were numerous sneaky water hazards that really challenged your decision and shot-making abilities. The greens were well-maintained, and offered some great elevation variances. It was busy, but the pace of play was smooth, overall. The ranger was very helpful in keeping it moving by scouting for your balls. Great guy!
One thing that stood out the most to me-
It was especially nice to play golf where a popular television series was filmed. Not many people know that this is where Daenerys and the Dohraki rode to battle Ser Jamie’s army in Game of Thrones. This legendary landmark was once blasted by fire from Drogon! The battle spanned across the many acres of this course, leaving it in total ruins, to this day. Scorched earth! While playing, a buddy of our group was a mere inches of acing hole number four. There hasn’t been a shot that spectacular on this hole since Bronn sent an arrow from the Scorpion into Drogon’s side! I digress... What a shot, Doug!
The illustrious fairways were of a rich umber and brown tone, providing maximum yardage for your drive. I gained 20-30 yards just from the roll! I typically like practice my iron game at my local abandoned K-Mart parking lot, so the fairways at Sweetbriar made me feel right at home! If you’re lucky, some of your shots may land alongside one of holes of the neighboring Legacy course. If so, you are able to sneak a peek at a course that applies irrigation systems with its greens fees. Cool!
I will admit the cost to play seemed a bit higher than I felt it should have been, given the conditions of the course. Understandably, it has been a hot and dry summer, with very little rain. If you do play Sweetbriar, I would recommend you pony-up and pay the additional ~$20 for the Legacy course. At least the cart girl will come around. Maybe.
We did have a good time, and it was a fun round. Times are tough, but the staff was friendly and practicing all of the proper safety protocols! I would like to play the course outside of peak Summer conditions.
Don't bother
They admitted they're just paving over it, so it is quite obvious they've stopped upkeep. All the fairways are dead, all the trees are overgrown and over hanging the course, and the paths are just straight dust to get in your eyes. You may as well just go hit golf balls in a Walmart parking lot with how the fairways are maintained here. I guess the greens are generally fine with the exception that there are a ton of pitch marks and dead spots from old holes and poor maintenance.
