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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Overall Good
Annbriar is a special place with wonderful golf holes, some of the prettiest in the area. The value for the money is really good. Unfortunately, our Friday round (2:50 tee time) was excruciatingly slow. Couldn't finish the round due to darkness. All of the staff were super friendly and made you feel welcome. Disappointing couple of tee boxes in disrepair. And, the cart path is really in need of some attention. This isn't the little sparkling gem it used to be. Of course, I'll play here again and again, it's that nice. It's a $50 course that I paid $32 bucks to play. Annbriar is becoming tattered around the edges and need a good sprucing up. Spend some dough on the course (raise the fee if you have to) and make the course a destination again.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback! We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and look forward to seeing you again!
A Course You Want to Play
Annbriar is by far and away the best public course in the St. Louis area. The course was in excellent condition. Greens were perfect and rolled true. The back 9 is really an amazing layout and is quite challenging. The staff is really attentive and helpful. The course is highly recommended.
We are beyond happy to hear you enjoyed a great day at our course. We will pass on your kind words to those responsible so they can continue to help others enjoy great experiences at Annbriar Golf Course.
Thanks for the 5-star review! We hope to see you again for another round soon.
