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.

Best Course in St. Louis area for the money.
Course was in amazing conditions and lay out is amazing. Pin locations were mixed some difficult others not so much. Look forward to playing again.
Pace of Play
No course marshal on a jam-packed Sunday afternoon (Labor Day weekend). Pace of play on front 9 went well. On the back 9, pace of play was so backed up that we were stacked 4 groups deep on the 14th tee box and the sun was setting fast. This is my only complaint on a nicely maintained course. Will return. Hopefully marshal(s) will be present to keep things moving, if warranted.
Best course within an hour of STL
This course just continues to be a joy to play and I look forward to my next round. Challenging from all tees, fairways are lush, and the greens are pro designed. GOLFERS FIX YOU BALL MARKS PLEASE! This damage will not repair itself and it effects hundreds of players that will follow you.
So many positives and so far for me there's been zero negatives! Very nice design, very pretty hole. Lots of extra details all over the course that make it even better.
Just go you'll love it.
100% the BEST COURSE near STL
Loved it so much I played Saturday and Sunday at 7:20am. Not only is this the best course within an hour of STL, it's easily a top 5 for me and I play around the world. Conditions really could not have been better. Fairways LUSH. Greens with character. Layout challenging. Views from most tee boxes AMAZING. Tons of extra landscaping details make this an oasis and my new regular course.
So worth the drive from Scott AFB!
Best Public Course in the St. Louis Metro Area
It is always a treat to play Annbriar. Been playing there since it opened in 1993. I always tell people, if you're going to play one public course in the St. Louis metro area - this is the course to play. Great design, picturesque and in great shape. Hole #11 is the best in the area.
Nice course
Always challenging and fun to play. Pace is a little challenging as well, even during mid-week. Food in the clubhouse is VG.
What a shame
After years of playing this nice course my foursome settled into the clubhouse for cocktails after 18. The girls where great and appreciated our generosity. Now for the ugly. I had set up some friends ahead of time to pick me and my vehicle up so I wouldn't be driving. While they were waiting on me to pay the check the staff decided to call the police on them for waiting in the parking lot. These folks are a very respectable couple with a nice vehicle. They had a child with them that got scared when the police (2 units) confronted them. For the likes of me I don't know why the staff would have not just asked them what they were there for. Don't see how I can go back.
This is one of the nicest courses in this area would definitely go back and play again
Best Course in St. Louis Area
Course is in perfect shape. Back 9 got clogged up a bit. They need to have people out on course watching for slow play. Also, there was no beverage cart on a Saturday. Otherwise it was a great experience.
Not a single complaint. Perfect conditions.
I played Saturday on a perfect weather day in July. The course conditions were absolutely impeccable! The tee boxes, the fairways, the greens, and yes even the bunkers were all maintained to the standard you hope to see every time you tee it up. It was a very pleasurable experience as is most times I visit this wonderful facility. I might add that Mr. Knobbe goes out of his way to provide one of the very best smoked pork or smoked turkey sandwiches you will ever have! He travels every year to a spot that delivers high quality ingredients. Bring your hunger before you start or at the turn. Well worth it and way better for you than that delicious hot dog, which is great in its own right. Great golf experience! You get a chance to play this facility do it, you will not regret it. AND you'll be back! Great job to Bill and his entire staff.
The Crown Jewel of the STL metro area
It just doesn't get any better than Ann Briar. Greens are fantastic and just perfect. The course could not be in any better shape. Was my fourth round in five days at four different courses and BY FAR the most enjoyable day of the week. Thanks, Ann Briar!
Great course
This is a must play course. Great layout fun yet challenging. By far the nicest course in southern Illinois. If I only had one more round to play I might just play this course.
Great course! It was in excellent shape.
The course was in great shape. The pace was good and didn't have to wait.
Great value
I played Annbriar two days in a row through Golf Now. It's a great course with moderate difficulty, but very playable. Gives you lots of room to drive the ball, but it tightens up around the green complex. The greens are in great shape, and roll quick and true. Fairways are a pleasure to play on. It's a very scenic course that rewards good shots. The pro shop staff were courteous and efficient. At the turn, I tried the bratwurst the first day and a chicken salad croissant on the second day, and both were outstanding. Excellent experience, really nothing to complain about. They seem to welcome Golf Now customers unlike some other courses
Hidden Gem
Annbriar Golf Club is a great place to play for anyone, the course offers a diverse layout with some links style holes and some very hilly terrain. Many tee options for all skill levels, the women in our group loved the entire course. Conditions were great and I'd highly recommend the food in the grill.
