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.

annbriar

Played on a Sunday, everything was good except the pace of play %.5 hour round. I have played the course many times, one of the best public courses in the Stt. Louis area.

Annbriar is one of my all time favorites. Only reason for the 4 on Course Conditions was due to all the recent rains. Not much to be done, and the course was in good shape in spite of that

My Favorite Course in the St. Louis Metro Area!

The title of this review says it all! It's my favorite course in the St. Louis Metro Area. If I had one course that I could play every day and use every club in my bag, Annbriar is that course! It's always in great shape and it's a great test for your all around game tee to green. I could not recommend any course any higher the Annbriar. It's simply the BEST!

Always a fun and challenging tract

Played Annbriar because my club is closed on Mondays, and as a bonus, it was off paths (my club is on paths if some one spits on the course) so being off paths during a rainy April was nice. Course is beautiful; holes all challenging. Because of the rain the bunkers were not groomed, and the greens had just been punched so they were bumpy which made putting a guessing game. Those two problems are obviously short term, so no concerns about the course being perfect in a bout a week, or when we get drier weather

Just Aerated

I would suggest waiting a few weeks to play Annbriar as they aerated last week. The greens were sandy, bumpy and incredibly slow and unreliable. Such a great course - $10 off is not enough to get me to play until the cgreens fully recover.

Some Of The Best Greens for March

Annbriar is the best course in the St. Louis metro area. The design, conditioning, friendliness is what makes Annbriar so great.

For March, you could not find any better greens. They they were fast, firm and you hardly left a ball mark on the greens. This really tells you the root system on thier greens is outstsanding.

There has been a large amount of rain recently. Some of the fairways had some wash areas where the water flowed down the fairways.

The service in the restaurant was impressive too. Annbriar is a great place to visit. Great conditions for March!

Keep it in the fairway

This course is well maintained but if you miss you're in trouble. The rough is unforgiving.
