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
Best Public Course in St Louis
The course is in fantastic shape from tee to green. In my opinion the best public course in STL.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Ejc50080. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Annbriar Golf Course thanks you!
Our tee time was 7:36 am and it was already about 10-15 minutes behind. There was a foursome 2 groups ahead of us that was extremely slow making our round over 5 hours. I do not believe anyone was marshaling the course but they never approached this group. Course is always awesome and usually fairly good pace. a 5 hours round may not be too bad if carts were on the paths but you could drive anywhere.
Hello, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear the pace of play wasn't up to par during your round. These are by no means the expectations we strive for at Annbriar. We're happy to see you rated your round 5-stars, despite your concerns. We hope you reconsider returning for another round soon. Thanks for playing Annbriar GC!
Hello, thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Annbriar Golf Course!
One of the best courses I've played!
Annbriar was a course on my "bucket list" and now that I've played it, I want to play it again. Too bad it's 2 hours away from my home.
We played the blue tees which were a good yardage for single digit handicappers who still want to have an enjoyable round. The zoysia fairways are wide and plush. The greens are of a good size and speed, with slight undulation (nothing radical). The employees we talked to were friendly and knowledgeable.
You won't be disappointed.
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.
Nice round of golf
Great value for the money. Some holes have a strange layout, but overall a fun place to play.
Hello, Beverlypetry. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.

Great Course and value after noon
First time playing here and very impressed. Staff were all very friendly. Enjoyed the layout, especially the back nine. Highly recommend.
Hi Sandoman. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back!
Near Perfection
There is nothing bad to say about Annbriar. They understand how to perfectly balance down-home country personal service with first-class golf layout and manicured conditions.
My only additional comment is a personal wish; that they would increase the speed of the greens. Don't get me wrong. Their greens are VERY putt-able. The ball rolls true and on-line. A little more speed would be welcome so we can enjoy the challenge of the contours and subtleties, though.
I'm guessing asking for faster greens is like asking for a different frame around the Mona Lisa. Annbriar is a spectacular and A++ public golf experience...period. Play it and treat yourself!
stevepona, 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.

Hello, Jim7118509. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
Top Notch Conditioning!!!
This is a visually beautiful course with not a bad hole on it. Conditioning is high end private club level. Front 9 is open and rolling and back 9 is beautiful and more hilly. If I'm going to "treat" myself to a higher end round of golf, this is where I'm going.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.
Rain check
The weather prediction was for 90% chance of rain. Rescheduled for next month.
Thanks for taking the time leave us a review. We're sorry you didn't get to enjoy your round because of the rain, but are looking forward to seeing you again when the weather is better! Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.

more drinking water needed
Hello, tniederkorn. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
A long drive from St. Louis county, but worth it!
There are many reasons annbriar is one of our favorite courses. The wide open fairways, accurate distances, and above all course maintenance is superior. It’s always a privilege and a joy to play this course!
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thanks for playing Annbriar Golf Course!
Poa Annua Taking Over Thier Greens
Annbriar is my favorite course in the St. Louis Metro area. What was disappointing to see were the greens being taken over by the poa annua grasses. Not sure what can be done about this, but, there is nothing better than the original bent grass greens. With poa annuu, your putts are slower, break less and your putt can move back and forth because of the graininess of this grass.
Still go play Annbriar - such a great course. Just be aware the greens are not like they used to be.

Great Course . . . But for the Flying Bugs
We played this course for the first time and loved the layout and challenge. But even thought it was very windy, the flying bugs were unbearable. And if you hit it into a bunker, it was like you were lunch.
We really like this course, but until they get a handle on the flying bugs, we wouldn't play it again. Bugs in your eyes, ears, nose and mouth make playing golf really unpleasant.
Hello, jndtexas. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the bugs that joined you during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Annbriar Golf Course, we hope to see you again soon.
