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.

Worth the hype
I was told this was one of the best courses in St. Louis and I was VERY impressed. Most courses around here you can lose your ball in the Fairways lol. AnnBriar’s course was pristine and the layout was an awesome challenge. You get two courses in one when you get there. Definitely worth the hype.

Rainy Good Day
Great course and service. They handled rain delay very well. Great layout even though a little wet. Good elevation changes. Need drinking water on course. Need to have designated pin positions or color code flags. Small flags impossible to see.
Thank you for your review, longhornaz. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Annbriar Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Annbriar is the nicest public course in the metro area, you won’t be disappointed.

First Time Ever Feeling Disappointed After Playing Annbriar
I think this was the first time I’ve played Annbriar and I left disappointed. This review should
have been an euphoric one because they finally get the limbs down on the large sycamore tree on hole 13. The hole looks wonderful and no more balls hitting limbs from your fairway approach shot. Kudos to Annbriar finally doing this.
I feel service issues still plague this course. I felt the course did something that you cannot do when the temperature is 95 and the heat index is 105. No water on the course or beverage cart. This is unacceptable. If you don’t have water on the course (maybe Covid concerns) and you will not have a beverage cart, then you MUST tell all players this when they check in. Then each player can then prepare to get fluids before they tee off. On the positive side, Annbriar has always had a cooler of ice and water stations by their bar. Another local course had no water on the course several years ago and 2 people in my foursome had to quit after 9 holes because of heat exhaustion. That’s how serious this situation is.
The service in the restaurant was non-existent. The waitress waited on another couple and walked by our table at least 5-6 times and never acknowledged us. Hard to understand.
Let’s talk about the course. Looks like they aerated the greens maybe 3-4 weeks ago. They still use the large plug technique, compared to most courses who have switched over to using the smaller plugs. The greens were extremely bumpy and slow. The fairways were starting to turn green from the warm weather. For some reason, some of the fairways have sections of discolored (brown) grass. The grass does not look dead but just brown. I noticed this more on holes 9 & 10. The price of $47 for a senior was excellent for the course you are getting. The bunkers were in great shape. I think in 3-4 weeks, the course will be playing at its usual outstanding shape. They laid sod behind hole 8 and planted some grass too. Doing some grading work at the bottom of the hill of the par 3 – 17th.
Finally, our group really struggled to determine if the pin was front, middle or back. All the flagsticks are the same color. They use a small flag on the flagstick to indicate this. Hard to see this. No other course still uses these small flags anymore. All use red, white and blue flags.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, lcbgolf. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Annbriar Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Annbriar Early May
Annbriar is just a great course and layout.. greens were a little bumpy from aeration but will be good in another week or two. Fairways and tee boxes were immaculate, keep it in the fairway as the rough was extremely tough.
Thank you for your review, WayneJ17. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Annbriar Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Favorite course in the area
A Friend recommended this course to me last year. I fell in love. It's got it's difficult parts. The bunkers are probably some of the best on a public course and the greens are always in good condition for how much the weather changes in the area. Just wish people would fix the ball marks. Will always be in the top 3 go to course when I want to go play golf. Well worth the money and drive out to the course from Saint Louis.
Will be back out in a couple weeks to Start off a Friend's bachelor party
