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.

Simply The Best
The best public course in the St. Louis area. Wonderful conditions, design and the staff is so friendly. If I could play one course everyday - Annbriar would be the course.
FYI. The course is aerating their greens on October 12-13.
lcbgolf, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.

One of my Favorites
I’ve played many courses around the country and Annbriar always ranks high on my list. Very happy it’s so close to home and staff is always friendly. They also have some of the best Bloody Mary’s around!

First time playing in years, great course. Walking rates offered but this is NOT a course to walk!!!!!
I'm a cyclist and runner, in decent shape.
My GF and I enjoy walking courses, note: waking rates are offered but this is NOT a course to walk and the option shld not exist.
Hi, Easyvz! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Annbriar Golf Course!
Love this Course
Finally got a chance to get back to Annbriar. It's always in great shape and considering it has been very dry here lately the course was in great shape. The greens were soft enough to hold approach shots but firm enough to have a great roll when putting. There was no marshal present and we did have to tolerate a slow group in front of us but it wasn't enough to takeaway from my experience on the course. If you haven't played Annbriar, what are you waiting for?!
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, shnkln76! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great Course
What a great course and friendly staff. Played 36 ... greens were in great shape and the course is more than fair. It does require some good golf shots and some strategic choices on many holes but is also very playable for the average golfer with multiple tee box choices. Will definitely be going back soon
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.
Great Golf Course and always in great shape
I have had the priviledge of playing this course many times since it opened in 1993. It is easily the best public course in the St. louis area and has been since day 1. Always a lot of fun to play and the pace of play for us was great. We teed off a little before 1 pm on a Saturday and completed the round in less than 4 hours. I always look forward to playing this course and have never been disappointed in the condition or challenge it provides. if you are in the area or visiting and want to play a great course, this should be at the top of the list.
Your feedback is important to us! Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.
Best Public Course in the St.Louis Metro Area
I have played Cog Hill in Chicago, Torrey Pines in San Diego and many Public as well as Private courses around the country including Riviera (LA), Olympia Fields & Medina (CHI), Bellerive and Old Warson in St. Louis among many others. Annbriar is one of the most well maintained, beautiful, challenging yet fun golf courses that I have ever played. While not the same many of those private courses mentioned, i t ranks right up there with every great course that I have had the pleasure of playing.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Slow Play
The last two times (maybe 3) we played here they were 5+ hour rounds. That just ruins the game. I don't think we saw a marshal all day.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Pristine
The course was in outstanding shape. The rough was very thick and tall, perhaps due to a very recent Korn Ferry Tour event held there. This was a challenging and very enjoyable adventure. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Annbriar Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!

Well worth the green fee
This course is a must play if you are ever downstate Illinois close to the St Louis area. Must drive the ball well. Only let down for me was the greens were a little slower than the first time I played. Overall, worth at least one play and I will play it again.

My Favorite Place To Play In St. Louis
First, the course is in immaculate condition.
However, this is not what makes this place special. Most courses have the same rate for the weekends/holidays. Not at Annbriar. Even though Monday was a holiday, you paid their Monday rate of $55 ($15 less than the weekend rate). What a bargain for the best course in the St. Louis area.
That tells you how well Annbriar is ran and how much they appreciate their customers. The staff cannot be more friendly too,
The greens have no stressed (brown) areas. They are in great shape. When you stand on the tees, the fairways look so green and manicured.
If I had any complaints, the tee boxes did need to be mowed. When you teed your ball up, the grass was up near the bottom of your ball.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
A lot of good holes
Holes 1-4, 7 and 10 are pretty bland. The other holes are interesting and fun. Watch out for the 30 foot drop-off behind the 8th hole! It will take at least one time playing to figure out the correct line off the tee on a few holes. The greens were a bit slow for my liking. They were healthy though. Worker was out watering the greens while we were playing and checking the temperature of the greens on several holes (getting in our way). It's a nice piece of property. I'd play it again if I was in the area.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Annbriar Golf Course.
