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.

Annbriar simply the best in Area
Been playing Annbriar for a long time. William Nobbe, Kevin Schaefer and the course Superintendent along with their staffs do a fantastic job on and off the course.
Great friendly Pro Shop and well stocked with quality merchandise. Bar and restaurant friendly and have great food. Golf course is simply the best in the STL Metro area. Wonderful layout and it gives you a choice with a lot of different Redbox selections.
Always in good shape!
Keep up the good work! Wish I lived closer I would be a member for sure!
Great Hidden Treasure
This course has great owners and staff, great views and it is always in wonderful condition. There are easy holes, tough holes and creative holes. It is always a pleasure to play. It is also friendly for the higher handicap and female golfers. Highly recommend.
Outstanding - Highly Recommended 4.5 stars
My first time back to Waterloo since 2002 to experience this out of the way Southern Illinois gem near St. Louis. In wonderful shape except for a few wet sand traps....greens were rolling wonderfully minor aeration marks/ball marks but overall excellent and a lot of fun. Greens are rolled every morning and their first tee time is 8am (they don't let anyone out prior). Annbriar is extremely well designed, lots of golf eye candy and keeps your interest throughout the round. The back nine especially so. The 11th hole dog leg right par 4 simply put is one of the most beautiful holes you'll ever ever encounter with fall colors nirvana. Framed by amphitheater of trees your elevated tee shot must be struck with care as a creek/water hazard winds completely down the left side of the fairway bends right into the fairway at about a 160 carry or so and the backs off way left again which is where you need to aim.... but then the creek completely crosses the fairway at about 110 yards out and winds to the right side of the green with a small pond. The hole is almost Augusta National like .....standing on this tee box first timers your mouth will be agape and mine was again 15 years later.
All the accolades aside, I do have to downgrade because walking the course is near impossible and you're going to encounter some of the most dangerous cart driving and cement cart paths imaginable. The cart paths are extremely slick there are a ton of ups and downs, slopes and sharp curves and so you have to pay 100pct attention at all times....it's a cart driving test even for professionals (getting the cart around in one piece might be more difficult than the golf course) so 1/2 a star off. 3 holes cart path only due to wet conditions including the 11th and 18th holes mentioned above.
Practice trap/putting area near first green with another green by the clubhouse. Decent driving range. Small proshop with a smokehouse restaurant that gets some nice reviews. Didn't notice if full locker room facilities exist (don't think so).
With the site being so close to the Mississippi river don't be fooled Annbriar is far from flat as pancake the designer Hurdzan had some wonderful topography with elevations to route this gem. Fun par 3's as well as several strong par 4's. A really nice finishing par 5 with uphill approach toward the clubhouse completes your journey.....and you'll want to come back again. Expect very friendly folks and excellent course conditions.
Great course
For the beginning of November, course was in great shape besides the bunkers. Highly recommend playing.
As good as it gets!
This has to be one of the top public courses in Illinois. From tee boxes to greens and everything in between was really in wonderful shape. Keep up the good work.
Great course
Fabulous layout, challenging course with a variety of holes. Relaxing round of golf without any road noise or homes nearby. Staff very friendly , great food, I cannot say enough about the quality of this course.
Fantastic course
I really enjoy playing Annbriar. It is fair, beautiful and challenging!
First class
Even in the rain this course played well, the landscaping was fantastic the greens were in great shape it was well worth the time to drive to Waterloo IL
Amazing
This was my first time and won't be my last time to this course. The weather wasn't good, it was cold, windy, and wet. It didn't bother me at all. The course layout is fantastic, staff was great everything exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the wide fairways, that invite a long drive and put you in great position for a 2nd iron shot. I played from the whites, it looks like the course is MUCH more difficult from the blues as the drives are much longer and more challenging. I loved the course. I got a hot deal which is the only reason I played here. At the normal price I can't afford to play here which is a shame. But I'll recommend it to anyone with richer blood than mine! I loved it, one of the better golf experiences that I've had.
best in metro st. louis
Annbriar has been my favorite public course in the metro st. louis area since it opened however many years ago. It still remains my top pick by far. The course is always well maintained. It is a fantastic layout with no fluky holes. It is reasonably priced. The clubhouse offers good food. The pace of play is usually acceptable. Only 1/2 hr drive from downtown St. Louis.
great course
this course is somewhat expensive compared to other couses in the area. i would play here more, but the pricing, puts it out of range.
very enjoyable course to play and enjoy the out doors, course in great shape, great staff.
One of the best public courses in the St. Louis area. A beautiful course which is very well maintained. Hole # 12 is my 2nd favorite hole in the St. Louis area exceeded only by #15 at the Missouri Bluffs.
Great!
Beautiful course. Challenging but very nice layout. Loved it!
Great course
I highly recommend Annbriar, the layout is fantastic and always in great shape.
