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.

A stl must play

This is st Louis’ finest public access course without a doubt. Currently the course couldn’t be in better shape. Both fairways and greens are in outstanding shape. It’s like playing a primo resort course for 1/4 of the $$.

A little disappointed

We had nice weather on a day that was supposed to be near 100'. That being said, their was hardly any drinking water to be found on the course. Nothing on the front. And only one cooler on the back (hole 11?). When we made the turn, there was ice, but the water dispenser was not working. And the water jug was empty. Just dumb. Apparently, they hosted a junior PGA event before our T-time. These players tore up the course. Lots of deep divots. Plus unfixed ball marks on the greens. Conditions on the front side just fair. Weeds starting to mix into the rich zoisia. Back nine, much better. For the course that is supposed to be the best public course in the St Louis area, I have to say, I'm a little disappointed. They've let their standards slip. Now, about the pace of play. We played in 4 hours flat. But we had 2 different groups of 2 hit into us. Besides that. A fun day with the bud's. Caught a good price through Golfnow and had a nice lunch before the round. C'mon Annbriar. Get your title and standards back.

Great place to play

Annbriar is a great place to play - greens fees are reasonable and the course is normally in great shape. I like the hybrid options for tees that the scorecard has that combines using white and blue tees to get a distance in between playing a single set of tees (there are multiple options for this). The Pro Shop and Bar are both well stocked. All around a solid choice.

Wonderful golf course in amazing condition.

I have played this course off and on for the last 10 years plus. In my opinion, the course is in the best condition i have ever seen it in. The tee to green conditions are as good as the high end resort courses I have played . The only downside I see is even on week days the wait on each tee prevents you from being able to get any type of rhythm in your play.

Fantastic

Hadn't played Annbriar in about 10 years and boy did I miss it. You really can't beat this place on the quality and value for the money. Coming from Texas, I can tell you that this place is a steal. Pristine fairways, greens that roll true all day long, views, and a challenging layout for any golfer. When I'm in town again, I'll definitely be back here. Keep up the great work guys, it really shows!

Awesome Weekend Getaway

My wife and I decided to basically live at Annbriar for two days. By that I mean we ate heartily for lunch at Smokehouse restaurant before an afternoon round and had a fabulous breakfast before playing the next day. Food was great and reasonably priced. Annbriar is truly a gem. The 5 hour round on holiday weekend was acceptable when we considered the awesome views on EVERY hole. Each unique in their own way. Tees are fair and challenging for all players. Be prapared for walking as cart paths do not stop close to greens and cart direction signs sometimes are placed way out in front of greens.. Love the strategy involved with the course. Will we be back? You betcha! First time players will definitely put this on their repeat list.

Great Course & Price.

Annbriar is my favorite St. Louis metro course. With a price of $52 for a weekend in late May - what a bargain. Always friendly and I love playing here.

However, the course was not in its usual pristine condition. Starting with hole 1. The fairway was in a bit of rough shape. Throughout the round, there were other fairways that had areas of dirt where grass was having a hard time growing. Maybe, with the warmer temps coming up, the zoysia will take over and improve this.

The rough is very dense and thick. Probably too high for weekend golfers.

The greens were in their usual great shape.

Little unusual that there didn't seem to be a normal crowd at Annbriar on a Saturday. When we were in the restaurant, which is normally busy, we were the only ones in there. My friend ordered the pulled pork and he said it was awful. It tasted like it came out of a can. This was very unusual because we love the food at Annbriar.

One thing Annbriar needs to do to get in line with every other course you will play. They need to get different colored flags for front, middle and back. Such a fine course that Annbriar is - they still use the the small flag on the flagstick to indicate front, middle and back.

Annbriar is a great course. Priced right and friendly. Looks like they had a few hiccups this Saturday but always put this course at the top of your list to play.

4 hours 42 minutes is too long. Marshals please, and not ones that are buddies with the slow crowd.
