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.

Annbrair Is Worth Playing But Fairways Need Some TLC

Don't get me wrong, Annbriar is still worth playing. However, their fairways are preventing them from getting their customary 5-star rating. Their are numerous GUR white outlines in the fairways. Holes with fairway issues are 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 & 13. Hopefully, when it turns warmer, they will re-sod the bad areas with zoysia sod and mark them to keep carts off the areas.

The rough is the thickest and most consistant rough you will find on a public gold course. All the greens were in good shape.

A couple of changes you will notice at Annbrair. They have started using red clay on some of the walking entrances from the cart path toward the greens. Hole 12, in the large depression off to the right of the fairway - they have removed the group of trees. Also, on Hole 13, they have removed the bushes at the cart path turnaround by the green. Gives those under the pavilion unrestricted view of the 13th hole.

Annbriar

This course was emaciated for this time of year. Tee boxes, fairways, greens were just pristine. The rough, well just stay out of the rough and you will be alright. Between fairway bunkers water holes. Just couldn't ask for a netted layout. Can't wait to play here again.

First Time Playing Annbriar

It was a beautiful day on a beautiful course. My favorite cousin from Seattle came to visit and loves to play golf. I wanted to show off what St. Louis had to offer and everyone said to take him to Annbriar. He plays a lot of courses all over the country and was raving about how nice and how difficult the course was. Don’t play here if you want to shoot your lowest score! I can’t wait to take my Son out to play there.
