About

Annbriar Golf Course in Waterloo is one of the top 10 golf courses in Illinois. The course was built on rolling farmland covered with native wild grasses. The layout eases you into the challenges with a links-style front nine that is less demanding than the back nine. The fairways are invitingly wide but if you miss them, you'll be faced with thick fescue. The back nine takes advantage of the surprisingly undulating terrain, which is unexpected since just across the river the land is almost totally flat. Annbriar's signature hole, the par-4 11th, was voted the best hole in the St. Louis area. From an elevated tee, golfers enjoy a stunning view as they play down into a valley. This hole is also the no. 1 handicap hole on Annbriar Golf Course.

Still Lacking The Usual 5 Star Review This Course Usually Gets

Annbriar is a great course. It is one of the best courses in the St. Louis metro area. But, little things are keeping this course from their usual 5-star rating.

First thing. It was Labor Day, and the tees needed to be mowed.

Second thing. Many holes on the front nine with weeds that make for an unkeeped course. Holes 2, 5, 6, 7 & 8.

Best Course in the Greater St. Louis Area

Fun layout. Links style front nine. Back nine has lots of hills. Greens, Fairways, and Tees are always in great shape. Staff is very accomodating and friendly. My favorite course in the St. Louis area. Worth the drive.

Nice course

Nice course. Greens rolled smooth. Fairways in great shape. Picked up hot time so value was awesome. Drove over an hour to play again. Course has lots of natural defense. I recommend playing from one tee box longer or shorter than your normal course. Then you can rip driver without getting lost in some well placed fairway bunkers or swells. Then you are only hitting one club higher on second shot. If visiting area stop by. Enjoy range. Two practice greens. Restaurant and a real nice course.

Pace of play is based on customers. Most regulars can move around course 3.5-4hrs.

Remains Best Public Access course in STL area

Annbriar remains the premier public access course in the STL region. The holes from tee to greens are in superb condition. Although I like playing different courses for variety, I always seem to pick Annbriar to play because I know it will be in tip top playing condition. As always, everyone from the Proshop , restaurant and club drop were friendly polite and welcoming. Only one drawback- everyone in the STL wants to play here also so plan early. The tee times are taken quickly.

Simply the Best!

Excellent course conditions! Cold waters in coolers at 3 places on the course is a nice touch.
