4 courses on Course Vaults
Ron Palmer is a golf course architect whose work is represented in northeastern Ohio. His designs reflect the region's lakeside terrain and established golf traditions, with courses serving communities in the Cleveland metropolitan area.
Palmer's portfolio includes Sweetbriar Golf Club in Avon Lake, where he designed both the original Sweetbriar course and the subsequent Legacy course. At Mallard Creek Golf Club in Columbia Station, he contributed multiple nine-hole layouts—the First/Second 9 and Third/Fourth 9—creating a comprehensive 36-hole facility. These courses demonstrate his approach to designing accessible layouts for club golfers while working within the topographical and environmental characteristics of northern Ohio.
Palmer's work in Ohio places him among architects who have shaped the state's public and semi-private golf landscape, contributing courses that serve local and regional play rather than pursuing high-profile resort or championship venues.
