Annbriar Golf Course
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.

A great golf day!
My wife and I love this course! It is a natural beauty carved in nature in Waterloo Illinois 30 min from Downtown St. Louis. I highly recommend.

Awesome course
The course is in great shape. The fairways are nearly perfect! Greens are awesome as well.

Great course for a good golfer, but a little challenging for an older (79) high handicapper. Hills put your fitness level to the test!

One of the best in the area
Annbriar is an outstanding course and certainly one of the best in the St. Louis area. The cart staff was friendly and helpful. They have a good menu and beer selection. The course was busy and maybe overbooked but it was the weekend. Terrific design and a nice variety of holes all in good condition. Again, a wonderful course and one of the best in the area.

Great Design, Great Shape, Great Price. Need To Make Some Common Sense Changes.
The course is very green with all the rain now. It is a wonderful design, in great shape and always a fair price. I did notice they made the right fairway bunker smaller and flatter on hole 9, to prevent balls from getting caught under the lip and having no way to advance the ball. Great change! However, they need to make a couple more.
As I have said in my other reviews, Annbriar still needs to make some common sense changes but have yet to implement them. I’m a big believer you should not be penalized for hitting the ball in the fairway. When I played on Saturday, they had the pin on the left side of the green of hole 13 again. You cannot hit your shot at the pin because of a large, overhanging sycamore tree branch blocking the left side of the green. Annbriar needs to do one of two things: cut down the branch or put all pin placements on that hole in the middle or the right side of the green. I’ve included a picture of the branch and the green. Please do not penalize a player for hitting the ball in the fairway and having no shot at the pin.
Annbriar is the only course I play that still uses the small flag on the flagstick, to indicate if the pin is front, middle or back. All their flag colors are red. Let’s move to what all other courses have done for years. Red flag front, white middle and blue back. Very simple and helps speeds up play.
Annbriar is a great course in great shape. However, they need to make these common sense changes.

ALWAYS an Enjoyable Day at Annbriar GC!!
Played this wonderful course yesterday with my family and a friend of ours... it's always an enjoyable day out! The course and greens are in great condition... the entire staff are professional and friendly, which sets Annbriar GC apart from the rest in the area. We got rained out on the back nine, so we went into the clubhouse dining area for a beverage... the amiable owner, William Nobbe, stopped by our table for a friendly visit and conversation to cap off a fantastic day. Thanks Annbriar for a wonderful round of golf and weekend experience!

Water Coolers?
This is by far the best public course in the area, I have to give it a five out of five stars. The only suggestion I would have is that they add water coolers on the course. It is hard to believe the condition of this course, the fairways and greens are immaculate. It was even hard to find a divet in the fairways. Your superintendence do a fantastic job.
It was a pleasure playing there today.
