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.

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.

great course

one of my favorites, we got a great deal for $29, which is unusual for this course, so we jumped on the tee time for that price. normally pay twice that at least to play but still worth the money. One of the best courses around.

Annbriar - Top notch public course

Perfect Greens, great layout, super friendly staff (outside, pro shop, and restaurant).

Great price & value compared to other upper tier STL public courses.

Very wet and dormant zoysia that was expected (reason for 4* condition)
