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.

Syberg's Golf tourn.
Annbriar, is a beautiful course, with a very personable Staff. I have played in this particular tournament for numerous years now, and feel that there may be too many participants. We waited on each tee box throughout the tournament for no less than 20 min., because there was an 2-four-somes playing in front of us, taking forever the entire day of the event. There was a 7person team, in front of them, so the entire day, was long, with no opportunity to get into a rhythm within play, with the amount of wait time, between shots.
Again, I did not feel that this was a reflection of Annbriar, just too many participants registered, for one start, as opposed to a morning flight, and and afternoon flight.......
Annbriar is the best golf within 90min of STL!
Annbriar never disappoints, and the grounds crew deserves some serious praise. They make this course one of the best I’ve played anywhere in the world. Very scenic and challenging from all tees. It’s become my first choice when I want to get a round in.
Best Golf Course in St. Louis Area
I always look forward to playing this course each year. The greens, tee boxes and fairways are always immaculate. The grass they use for the fairways keeps the ball sitting up so it is easy to hit. The views are great without any homes to distract the golfers. Each hole is completely different and all are very enjoyable to play. It is just a very great experience to play the course.
Great course
Very challenging course with great layout. Generous landing areas in the fairway with challenging greens. One of the top courses in the St. Louis area.
The Course To Play in St. Louis
This is my favorite public golf course in the metro St. Louis area. The conditioning of the course was superb. We love eating at the course after the round, which over looks the 13th green. A neat backdrop while you enjoy lunch.
Best course in St. Louis.
Annbriar is the best course in St. Louis if you are looking at the overall experience. The course is always in perfect condition, the greens roll true, and the layout is among the best as well. If you're swinging well, you can go low. But there are also days where you can find trouble. Always fair, but provides a great challenge as well.
EXCELLENT SHAPE!!!
Always a great course but in even better shape then usual....love the layout and fact there are no houses on course. Friendly staff
Annbriar is a course I very much love to play. It is fair if players will use the correct tees. Each hole is unique with the back nine a little more difficult then the front nine.
The course is set back from the highway and is a quiet, beautiful setting. I think its the best golf experience for the entire metro St. Louis area.
Management is committed to excellence!!
Great course but extremely slow
This isn't always an issue at Annbriar, but this round took 2:45 to get through the front 9. I called the clubhouse and they took care of the group immediately in front, but the real issue was about 5 groups ahead. I skipped over to 14 after 9. On my way there I saw the root cause group teeing off on 13. When I was walking down 18 (so having played 4.5 holes) I saw them just driving up to 15 green. Totally not acceptable to let one group of slowpokes ruin the day for 6 groups behind them.
Otherwise the course is great.
Need a new Marshal
Took 6 hours to play. We tee'd off at 1:40, and almost got brought in by the sun being to low. The staff was rude, when I showed up I asked if I could have a cart, and was asked in an seemingly accusatory voice: "for what." I'm at a golf course... so probably to play golf... then the guy who we were paired up with called the marshal to complain about speed. He made no progressess speeding up. Then when I asked 4the same guy if he was the marshal after the round, he said yes. Then he was confused whether he was the marshal or not. Not enjoyable to play this course when you wait 15 minutes at each tee box. Sadly, they don't seem to have their stuff together.
Backed Up
I played on Friday on Saturday in September. On Friday the course was so packed that I had to play the front nine twice to get through before dark. On Saturday they moved my tee time back 20 minutes and I was unable to finish the course as the people in front us were taking a long time. I booked two days in a row and didnt get to play holes 16 through 18 either day. Thanks Annbriar!
Ball Marks Everywhere
I'm from out of town and I love this course. However, it's unfortunate that the people of metro St.Louis don't take care of this course. There are ball marks everywhere. Very sad.
Fantastic course. It is a beautiful layout that is challenging but fair.

P E R F E C T!
This is one of my favorites! It never fails to make me say "WOW"! Absolutely every part of the course was in phenomenal shape. The tee boxes, the fairways, the greens, and yes even the bunkers. I was a single yesterday and was put with another single. We played fast and two groups let us play through them which rarely happens. We played in 3 1/2 hours which was delightful! It would have been the perfect outing with the exception of the arrogant jerk I got stuck playing with. But that is not the course's fault. A rare luck of the draw. Play this golf course! You'll have zero regrets!
Excellent course
This course is a gem and catching it on a hot deal gives me the opportunity to play it .
