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.

Anbriar - Terrific Public Course in Metro STL area
This was the first time playing Anbriar Golf Course and I couldn't have been happier. The holes were designed so that no two were all that similar. The surroundings are quite picturesque. The roughs, fairways and greens were in very good condition (especially the fairways). If you haven't played Anbriar, you must. Given that much of the surroundings in Waterloo, IL seem very flat and rural, it was a pleasant surprise that this this excellent course really pops topography. There are a number of fairly flat holes, mixed in with many very hilly layouts. Obstacles include bunkers and some limited water hazards (we played the back 9, there might have been more on the front).
My only criticism is that there were no bathroom facilities on the course itself (again, at least not on the back 9). That addition would make this an absolutely perfect course.
I guarantee you will enjoy this course. Only behind some of the nicer resort courses near Lake of the Ozarks, this is one of the best courses I've played in the Midwest.
It's also a very good value for the money (we played twilight rates).
Great Day Playing Golf
Very nice course, although their starting system held us up for 30-45 minutes after the first hole. They allowed a group of 16-20 which were waiting on the second tee to go off. Play increased as the round progressed. Rough areas needed mowing. Fairways and greens in wonderful condition.
Hi "TopHacker" Thank you for the great review! We apologize about any confusing during the start of your round, but it sounds like everything finished smoothly. Don't forget to reserve your next round with us before the season is over.
Excellent conditions
Fairways were in perfect condition. Greens rolled smooth and were in great shape.
Hi "rickhanson1" Thank you for the excellent review. We appreciate the kind words regarding our overall course conditions. Don't forget to purchase our online gift cards available on our website before the holidays!
Il.coure close to st.louis mo
Very nice and well managed ...plus close to St.louis Mo. Everytime I have played this course I have wished it were in St.louis...The drive really is not bad and well worth it
to play on a quality golf course.

Incredible!
Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape. Layout is challenging but very enjoyable. Definitely one of the premier public courses in STL.

Great public course
First time playing Annbriar. Course was in excellent condition. Has great features. Unbelievable value for the quality of this course you just have to be willing to drive a little further.
dwirth Wow! Thank you for the 5-star review! We appreciate the positive feedback. Please come back and play again soon!
Annbriar
Great course. Excellent layout
Thanks for the love, LCahoon! Please come back and play again soon!
Really? A 5 hour round.
I had heard so much about this course over the last few years since I moved here that I had to play it, and was underwhelmed. Make no mistake, the course is beautiful and in great shape, what I found ridiculous was the pace of play. Most courses space the groups out every 10 minutes, here it's 9 and if you don't think that's a big deal, get behind a lousy foursome like we did. Play was stacked up behind us, and in front of them and there was no where for us to go...and that's fine, I get it but no way should a round take 5 hours, and this one did. For the money, I'd probably play elsewhere.
rvc1331 We're so sorry that you had such a slow pace of play. We know how that can ruin even a great round. We're glad that you enjoyed everything else and happy that you still gave us a great review! Our team is working to address the pace issue that you brought up and we appreciate your feedback. Please come back and play again soon!
April round
Fun course. Zosia s almost green. Aerated greens stilll healing so poor putting conditions.
gringobob Thanks for the 4-star review! Please come back and play again soon when our greens are back to their usual plush selves!
Greens sub-par
The greens were recently sanded and plugged and were really not in shape to play. Having no decent greens to putt on was very disappointing. Perhaps in the future when this needs to be done it can be spread out so the greeens on the whole course are not a disaster.
dqstlouis Aerification is necessary for any golf course in order to maintain the pristine conditions that we all love to play on. It happens only twice a year and must be done all at once. We make it a point to communicate these times with all of our golfers and even offer discounted rates. We're sorry that you didn't get to play our course at its best, please come back and get the full experience soon!
Great golfing experience
Course was in great condition and the staff were super friendly. This is a tough challenge especially if the wind blows. Enjoy and try to score on the front, it's flatter and more open, then strap yourself in for the back. Literally. With the elevation changes you get dramatic views and it turns up the difficulty. Still very enjoyable though!
Excellent review! Thanks for the 5 stars! We look forward to you coming back to master the course!
One of the Best
This course is one of the best year round in the St. Louis area. It is not cheap by any means but it is defiantly worth every penny. Even in in the winter it is pristine. Will continue to play a few times a year.
Nice
For winter time the course was great. The girls the pro shop were extra nice. Thank u guys
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are glad that you enjoyed the course. Come back out and see us soon!
Great Day, Played easier than usual
I have always liked Annbriar. The golf course is very fair, and is in fairly good shape for this late in the season. I wish they had a set of tees at 6,200-ish yards. Playing at sub-6,000 was easier than I want, but 6,500+ is more than I can handle.
We needed to wait for a frost delay. I understand the need for a delay, but we were not updated on a consistent basis. A little more information from the staff would have made the wait easier.
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are sorry that we didn't have a set of tee boxes that you were looking for. Come back and see us soon!
Slow Play but excellent
Great layout and course is in great shape. Staff was very friendly. Only bad thing was pace of play. We had a threesome and were followed by a twosome. Front 9 was backed up at somewhere 3-4 groups ahead of us. On the back 9, we waited on the 4 some ahead of us what seemed for ever on every shot. No one else was in sight. It took 5 hours to play. We finished in the dark, guessing where our balls landed on the final whole. Would have liked to see a marshal on the course at least once.
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are glad that you thought the course was in great shape. Sorry that the pace of play was a little slow. Come back and see us soon!
Good , but...
Course was in really good shape until we got to the green. Unfortunate timing on our part , I guess . The greens were recently aerated, so it was really frustrating! So no criticism to the course, guess greens have to be aerated in the fall. The fairways, tees, collars , and traps , were all in good shape and usually always are at Annbriar.
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We're sorry that you were frustrated with the greens. Come back and see us again soon. The greens are rolling great!
Always a pleasure to play
Best public access course in the area. Great layout , course in excellent condition. Thinking of playing here? Do it!
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are glad that you liked the conditions of the course. Come back and see us again!
Another great round at Annbrior
The staff is friendly. William is always nice to talk to. He remembers me every time I play even though I'm not a regular any more. The course is always a challenge and in great condition. It doesn't hurt that I played with good friends!
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are glad that you enjoyed your time out on the course. Come back and see us soon!
