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.

Still One Of The Best Values

For the golf course design you get and the conditions, the greens fee of $70 on a Saturday morning is one of the best values in metro St. Louis.

The condition of the course was good, with the greens being perfect, rolling true. They are not overly fast though. With all the rain the St. Louis area has had over the last week, apparently Annbrair has not received much. The rough areas were a little brown. The rough was not overly high and it is very dense. Place of play was very good.

They do not have enough help in their restaurant. We sat at our table and was never acknowledged or waited on.

Annbrair is the only course I play that still uses the small flag on the flagstick, to indicate front, middle or back. I would suggest they move to what all the other courses are doing. Red flags front, white middle, blue back.

Hole 13 has the overhanging branches on the left side, on your approach shot. I was glad to see the pin was not on the left side of the green.

Like Everywhere else

Don't get me wrong. This is a nice course but like most of the nicer courses, since COVID they have hiked prices because they are trying to capitalize on the influx of golfers. How about leaving prices so the average Joe doesn't feel like they have to choose whether or not to play or feed their kids. LOL I mean with a full tee sheet I get it but 70.00 is a little much and if it were 50.00 they would still feel the tee sheet and have happier customers that would probably spend it at the 19th or for future outings. Just because you can doesn't mean you should

The only problem i had was most of the flags were red in color. Did not matter if pin was in the front or rear of the green.

Great experience

The course is in great condition. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. The Teebox and greens were immaculate. We were paired up with another twosome and they had just as much fun as we did. Definitely would recommend to put it on anyone’s list for public courses in the St. Louis area

Solid as usual

Best course in the St. Louis region. The course is coming along nicely and will likely turn into 5 star conditions soon. A couple of the greens had what looked like poa and were slightly bumpy but still better than everything I’ve played this year. My only real complaint about the round is the pace was a little slow. 6:57am on Sunday morning should be faster than 4.5 hours.

The Best Value In St. Louis

Annbriar is one of the best values in the St. Louis metro area. $70 for a wonderfully designed course.

The fairways are still looking a little brown, but this will improve as the weather gets warmer and the zoysia grass turns green. The greens are at a good speed and the bunkers had plenty of fluffy sand.

They have newly sodded areas around several greens and the course has new flagsticks (very thin near the cup) and red flags.

I felt the rough was too high. It was difficult to find balls in the rough. This only slows down the pace of play.

A couple of suggestions: Instead of having the location of the small flag on the flagstick, to indicate whether if the pin is back, front or middle – use colored flags: red, white and blue.

When we played, they had the pin in the front left of the 13th green. There is a large sycamore tree left of the green which has branches which overhang the left side of the green. There is no way you can aim for the pin and not hit the tree. The course should remove the branches which overhang the green or never put a pin placement on the left side of the green.
