Annbriar Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

GREAT Course but Slow play.
Course was in great shape and weather good. A little hot but nice breeze felt good.
Pace of play was slow as the course was packed. Not horribly slow though.
Golf pass made playing very affordable which i took advantage of!

No starter on first tee
The first tee is a nightmare! I play this course several times a year and pace of play is abysmal every time and it starts on the first hole. There isn’t a starter, groups go off late or choose to play separately even if they should be paired together. All they need to do is have a real starter. The bag boys have no clue whats going on and they the closest thing to a starter. The course is fun and always in great shape but not having a starter sitting at the first hole makes the rounds drag on. This course is touted as one of the best courses in illinois but it is run worse than a 9 hole muni.

Remarkable, As Always
This has always been a favorite course of mine, in the area. The layout is challenging, yet fair, from any of the tee locations. The superintendent and staff do amazing work to keep the course in the condition that it's in. At the price, you won't find a better option in the St. Louis area.

Water
No water to drink on course…. No cart person to sell water either. Not a good look for the nicest public course around stl.
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your visit to our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our services. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Great Course
One of my favorite places to play, always in great shape and $75 weekend summer rate is a steal. Booked an 8:50 tee time and wasn’t told there was a tournament at 9. Ended up being a 6 hour round from that, so if you book, definitely ask if there’s a tournament being played that day. Never had a bad experience there, still one of my favorites.

Great Place to Golf
The whole course was wonderful. The fairways and the roughs were great to play out of

Always an amazing experience
This is one of the few courses where you get that country club feel, with a public course. Can’t say enough great things about this course.

I’ve Seen Annbriar In Better Shape.
The last time I played Annbriar about a month ago, I said the fairways were a bit rough in areas. This still continues and even some of the tees are looking rough too. It is not awful but it does take away from the playing experience, because Annbriar is usually in pristine condition. Annbriar is still a great course and worth playing.
Annbriar is starting to have a problem with a weed called goosegrass. It looks like crabgrass and is unsightly. You can find it in most fairways, with these being the worse (5, 6, 8 & 9). Some of the white tees even had it (11, 16, 17). Some bare spots on tees (1, 16).
The greens are in excellent shape, however, they putted on the slower side. The 15th green was showing some minor stress.
Overall, the rough was good, cut at a lower level to make finding your ball easier. Annbriar has not had significant rain in some time. Parts of the rough are really scorched. The hillside on the par 3, 15th, is very dry. I felt parts of the 16th fairway were on the dry side too.
The service in the restaurant was outstanding. The course did have a beverage cart out during the warm day.
I still recommend Annbriar, but it is not in the pristine shape that you & I are accustomed to seeing.

The course was in great shape, can’t wait to play it again.
