Reviews of Sweetbriar Golf & Pro Shop (Golf)

I golfed the sweetbriar side and the course is challenging but it needs more maintenance. The fairways are covered in various weeds and clover so there wasn't much difference from the rough. I won't be playing it again until there is some upkeep done...I will however play the Legacy side. That is a great course that is taken care of and worth the money. It can get a bit crowded but it is worth the wait. The restaurant and clubhouse are nice and have plenty to choose from. I will certainly play this side again.

Course was in great shape

This place is a joke. I’ve tried to play there three times now and each time I end up leaving with a rain check because It is simply impossible to finish a normal round here. The starters don’t have a CLUE how to do their job as each time I’ve played there one person tells me to go off one side and somebody else will tell me to go off the other. The maintenance crews were running several mowers on each hole while being played this last Sunday, with absolutely zero respect for players. One of them even ran over my ball! For $59 this is unacceptable. Everything is extremely wet every time I’ve played here and the rough was over 6 inches long. The legacy course seems nice from a distance but When you get on the greens they are SO soft that they are riddled with spike marks that never fade away so putting is basically a waste of time. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PLACE.

Fun and pretty layout. A good day.

Robert Falkner

In very good shape. nice layout especially on the Legacy. Couple dumb holes but other than that very nice

Justin Matus

Was a nice golf course. The greens were soft but fast. The course was well taken care of. Bob the ranger was not very polite. And ruined an otherwise good experience.

Great time playing the Legacy Course at Sweetbriar! We found a great deal on Golfnow for a 6:40 tee time so we were the first ones out. The starter was very gracious in getting us started and out on the box immediately. This course rivals any country club in the area with tight, super thin cut fairways. Since it was so early (and a nice storm rolled through the night before) we didn't get much roll on good drives. The rough was lush but fair so stay clear if you wanna score well. The layout takes you through a scenic development so walking this course would be exhausting. The holes are guarded with mounding and a few bunkers, not much water around the greens except on #7 and par 5 # 14. I would highly recommend this course. I didn't get a chance to use the driving range but it's right near the clubhouse so you could get a small bucket in before the round no problem.

It was a great time

Ryan Keating

Don't pay any attention to sweetbriar course is pretty much burned out. Nice greens that's it. Expected more.

David Wise

The grounds were maintained very well and the staff was helpful. Tee boxes were large clean and level and the gr8÷nd were teriffic. The water hazards keopted you focused on your shot. Overall it is a great place to spend golfing.

Lonnie Foland

I have never been here by the Google Maps keeps putting it on saying I've been there. Looks like a nice place when I drive by it. But again Google Maps and assist I have been here, I have not.

Robert Watson

Legacy course is great, avoid the old course if possible

Jeff Wade

Great course to play after work with the twilight special.

anthony s

Wonderful Easter Brunch. Has a variety of food to choose from. Great dessert table and extremely friendly staff. Great place

Lisa Freed

Course is nice, pace of play is not. The starters are sexist and rude towards women, lady golfers beware. Foursomes do not let twosomes play through and the clientele is quite rude and chauvinistic. Many players hit from the black tees as if they are pro golfers, barely making it past the women's tees. Starters do nothing to fix it, but wave hands in female faces. Good luck playing this course if you are a good golfer looking for a quick round without egotistical people.

Jerry Single

Great winter time promotions on Tues, Wed and Thurs.

tom gregory

Fun and exciting place to play

peter paonessa

Good

Brett Baker

This combination of two 18 hole golf courses is pretty great for the Lorain area. I recommend that you use their tee times on the website, as you'll be saving 25-50%. I prefer the secondary course "Sweetbriar" because it has what I expect from a course as far as challenges, diversity and scenery. The "Legacy" course plays a little more difficult and it's fitted into a neighborhood, with upper middle class houses all around. Both courses are beautiful. The driving range only let us play off of a fake grass mat and we couldn't make any divots.

Jim Sammon

Offering some great winter happy hour specials.

Jessica Whitney

Wonderful Golf Field. My husband loves it!

Linda Orient

Great Food, Enjoyable and BEAUTIFUL, friendly atmosphere. I really LOVE this place. My only issue is, WHERE IS THE MUSIC, on that gorgeous back patio and fun bar area?!! In the summers of 2017 and 2018, they brought in small groups of musicians, and the patio was packed. Everyone LOVED and enjoyed the music. We heard the owner doesn't want to "pay the royalty fees" for music. I say, PLEASE, PLEASE re-think this decision and PLEASE bring back entertainment on that gorgeous back patio next summer!! I would be willing to pay a cover charge, just to have this wonderful aspect again. We went up every Friday and Saturday night when they had the music. Sadly, we are lucky if we go up a couple of times a month.

Robert Imbrigotta

The original 18 is ok but the price reflects the upkeep. Fairways not the best but the greens are ok.

David Davis

Great golf, people and food

Robert Young

This is a fun spot for sure!

Yamen Yaseen

I have never been in that place before

James Carter

Great course and great food

Sharon King

Love this place!! Easy parking, excellent dining area, pleasant service. Great views of golf course. Pricing for everything is quite affordable. Plan to get there soon and more often.

Spenser Tuneberg

Noce course for the price

Tom Horvath

Sweetbriar is one of my top 2 favorite courses that I've played so far. It is slightly challenging because of the ponds and creeks you have to hit over but this course isn't just for great golfers. The clubhouse and dining facilities are beautiful and overlooks both the Sweetbriar and Legacy course. The Pro Shop has an immense selection from clothing to clubs to gear. As far as the standard prices go I'm not certain because while I shopped there they had their annual Labor Day sale which I ended up buying 2 dozen Srixon balls for just $30!

Jake Derr

Legacy course is a beautiful course. Some of the best rolling greens in ne ohio. Bunkers well maintained, fairways very nice, tee boxes are in great condition. Highly recommend this course

William Wimberly

Me and my girl went yesterday for our 3rd time. We have enjoyed the course and the people that work there everytime. So friendly. Will be back soon!!

Frances Coverstone

Price is the best around. Staff in house is awesome. However they should expect people to play slower when you can not drive the golf carts on the grass that adds time to your game per hole. It is not proper to tell golfers to play faster with the mud and water condition all over. I would suggest that on these kind of days where it is cart path only to space people out better.

Donald Fairman

Fairways were really dried out not as lush's I would like them

jay verizon

Worse golf course I ever played. No maintenance of fairways or trees. Horrible golfing experience.

Thomas Wittine

Golf at Legacy : I'm a big fan. It's a really nice course!!

Matt Powers

decent driving range

Richard Markoski

Poor service/long wait for food /food was barely warm/fries were over done/won't be returning &do not recommend going there!!

Derek Lindsay

Generally in very good shape and awesome to have these two courses available locally

robert emans

Just like a private club. Great food.

Mark Pesta

The one star is given only because the food in the restaurant was so bad. Everything else I liked including the staff.

carl ludwig

GREAT BURGER

Cheryl Mallery

Course was in beautiful shape, bought an outfit and got it on sale. Look forward to golfing there again soon.

shockleys gaming

Great place

Lou Mastromatteo

Recently played in an event there. The pro shop is small, but packed full of stuff. The prices for golf are a bit high for what you get, but worth it once or twice a year. The event caterer was TERRIBLE. Steak and chicken were inedible.

RBR Inc

Was The Legacy Restaurant Not the Sweetbriar Golf Club!!! As always excellent drinks, food and service. Our server: Caitlin was terrific. If she's not there ask for Alexandria (Alex). Both are wonderful.

Schwinn Cooper

Even at the end of season they offered an array of products

Mark Breese

Nice course good food

Kirk Stewart

The "Legacy" layout is Great... also the food is Spectacular... Great Proshop and "Chris Ann" is the Best.

Bill King

Great course in my opinion. Great price. Fun day.

Dan Romaine

Not much here

Matt K

Played Sweetbriar over the weekend with a buddy. Tee time was early afternoon. Pace of play was great. Staff was friendly. Clubhouse and restaurant were fantastic with a great atmosphere. As for the course, on many holes it was difficult to tell the difference between the rough and fairway. There was really no noticeable difference in cut length. Greens were good however. I imagine that they spend more time with the Legacy course which is to be accepted. Overall Sweetbriar is a great course to get a quick round in and will definitely be back to play both 18's.

Matthew Kreider

Kevin and the guys inside have always been awesome to me ever since I started playing there as a teenager. The customer service has been great. The pro shop also has an amazing Labor Day sale every year that I highly recommend to all golfers in the area. It is not the cheapest golf course in the area, but definitely one of the better ones.

Rick Kroboth

This clubhouse is better than many country club clubhouses that i have been to. They did it right when they added their signature legacy course. Not real sure how the pro shop is but if the clubhouse is any indication i am sure the pro shop is A+!

Steve Florentz

Just a fantastic course..top notch facillity!

Phoebe Nelson

Great food. Mediocre service. Lovely entertainment.

Kay Farris

On a beautiful and scenic golf course is this totally charming restaurant. With its winding drive and large, welcoming entrance, and what you might expect to find when you enter is even better than what you thought. A number of dining rooms, a dazzling vaulted ceiling, an expansive bar, and a curved wall of windows overlooking the greens. Afternoons are mainly for lunches of various salads, appetizers, hearty sandwiches and some entrees as well. Their dinner menu favors a greater selection of the entrees and all the sides, salads and apps that will appeal to just about every palate. In a nutshell, the food is really, really good; and for you coffee lovers, you're in for a nice surprise of a delicious cup of coffee too. Selections are plentiful, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the views are beautiful, but most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. If you haven't already been here then you simply must give it a try. It's one of the special treasures on the west side of town.

Anastasia Young

Good place to golf for a casual afternoon

Michael Wright

Great course!

Jim Cornell

Pretty nice course. Not as good as legacy, but adequate. Could be a bit more competitive on pricing. If I recall, mostly dry course.

Ufl Fan

Great place. Relaxed pace

Laura Klingshirn

Excellent food and service. Great outdoor area.

Thomas Bowen

The Legacy course is a very playable course with very generous fairways and greens that are not tricked out. Even on this wet day they were fast. The rough is even playable. You can play this course and not lose any balls as everything is cut. Very scenic and the houses are well back from the playing area. I deducted one star ad they need work on the cart path. Too many chuckholes and other areas that need repairs.

brenda owens

Came here for a colleague retirement party very beautiful views food was great drinks a bit pricey but nice time we loved the Elvis guy!!

bobby jenks

Little wet but for first time out this year couldnt be happier with the weather today. Heavy rain last night so fairly wet but still very playable, and fun to be on.

Beautiful course. Only bad thing I could say is that the gun range near by is a little distracting. Other then that I will play again.
