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.

Fast greens and well maintained tee boxes and fairways.

The course was great and everything that I could have expected and more. I just wish more courses in the St. Louis area would have their greens this fast. The only problem that we had was that some ladies in front of us would not let us pass them as we were a two man group playing faster then them. They also yelled at us when we hit our shots to the green before they were driving away. Everything else was perfect though.

Excellent conditions

Annbrier is in great condition. I think this course gives the feel of a hilly links course with it's mounds, tall grass for the very errant shots, and some target golf. It's obvious that the weather has been good to courses in St. Louis this year, but Annbrier is always a well groomed course. The higher daily price ($43) is the only detractor, but you do get what you pay for.

The Annbriar is a wonderful course!

You can't go wrong with a round at The Annbriar! The course is challenging, the greenskeepers are in top form, the staff is friendly. It is my favorite course in the St. Louis area! I can't wait to go back.

Nice to play their again. I brought one golfer who had never played there before.

Probably the best public on the Illinois side of the river, but also the most expensive. Its a long drive so only can justify playing 1-2 times a year. Still have some concerns about possible sinkholes. Greens need some work re divot repair. Green fees used to include practice balls, no more.

A Must Play!!!

This course is always in the discussion for Best Course in the St. Louis Metro area. It's gentle rolling hills are a beauty. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are in pristine condition. And no sink holes that I saw. I played it July 5th and was reminded of the delays associated with a holiday weekend. There was no Marshall on the course to keep the groups moving. The biggest problem was that they allowed two-somes to play as two-somes which caused several backups. Get there early and allow time to practice at their range, chipping area, and putting green. After the round, enjoy a cold one near the window and watch groups approach the 14th green. Enjoy!

Golffing mullet

The front 9 were flat and back 9 were party style. Now flat doesn't mean boring, just not so much elevation change. The fairways and greens were the best iv seen in the st Louis area by far. The staff wasn't snobby and the beverages weren't over priced. A round was a little more than others but absolutly worth it. my new favorite course to golf.

No bad holes!

Great condition-tees, fairways and greens. Drive carts up the fairways. All Zoysia courses should follow this practice. Do not like interior out of bounds. It is OB between 9 and 18 fairway. Did not hit out of bounds, just do not like interior OB. Great golf course all levels of player should enjoy. Super friendly staff.

This is definitely an outstanding course based on the challenge, quality of the course and the scenic views.

All too often small town courses in a farming community are not viewed as great courses. Annbriar will change your mind. Compares very well to the better courses in the Tampa Bay area....but it's certainly not flat.

Many challenging holes with tee to green elevation changes exceeding 50 feet. Hit the wrong side of a fairway and the ball will be in trouble.

Speedy greens in excellent shape...far from flat.

I played the course after heavy spring rains and the course had a few soft spots and the rough in some places exceeded 6 inches. Primary reason why I did not list the course in pristine condition at this time. I've played the course previously and this was not the case.

Good practice facilities.

Very nice course. Course will look fantastic once the fairways green-up !

Annbriar is one of the St. Louis areas best public courses. Visually, the hidden cart paths, course condition, and club organization make this a welcome day out. Will play again soon !

Beautiful course

Aerated greens, difficult putting but it is expected that greens need maintenence. Slow play in front, bad players hitting from blue tees & marhall was told but did nothing about it.Will give course one more try & hope marshall issue is resolved.

One of best public courses in Midwest

Only complaint is course should advertise when aeration is taking place. Every course should do needed maintenance but should make golfers aware of it. ANNBRIAR about 2 weeks and a little warm weather from being in super shape

Great course, nice staff, restaturant served the best french toast and bacon I ever had.

Very good deal for a very nice course, we only got to play 9 holes because the weather got really bad at the turn, they were very accomodating and gave us a raincheck, restaturant has a variety of food/drink choices. I got there early enough to try their french toast and bacon...very yummy.

Annbriar Delivers!

I have talked with golf friends about their favorite courses and Annbriar's name consistently comes up. GolfNow had an offer for 16.00 to play and I snapped it up and I am really glad I did! This course was in superb shape and this is in December! Green were challenging but fair. Fairways still had some fluff to them as opposed to many courses that are "hardpan" at this point. The course layout is fun to play. Only a hand full of people were out on the course so I felt like I had booked the entire course to myself which was pretty cool.
I would definitely go back and play this course again and with GolfNow offering great deals, it will always be a bargain.

Terrific place to play

Pace was slow but the scenery is so great, who cares. Greens are a challenge to read. I have played this course several times. It is my favorite in the St Louis metro area.
