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.

Golfer Reviews
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!
GREAT course
Great layout. Fun from the blues. Other than the local riffraff hanging around, great experience.
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are glad that you enjoyed the course and are sorry about some of the locals. Come back and see us soon!
review
good but very hot conditions....but will return to play when cost is reasonable
Thank you for playing Annbriar! See you soon when it cools down!
good
Greens rolled well. Fairways long and slow but in great shape. Rough burned out in many areas. Horrible pace at 4:50.
Great layout. I always enjoy Annbriar.
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We sorry about the pace of play. Please come out and see us again soon!
The course is a must.
Come and play, it's a gem.
The review is too short, too bad....
Thanks for the review! Come out and see us again!
Beautiful Course
Course is in great condition, however those who paly here should repair their ball marks on the greens so the course remains in top condition.
I will play here again !
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are glad that you enjoyed your round. See you soon!
After 3 Tee Time, Great Value
Excellent value. Would like to see players take more responsibility of repairing their ball marks on the greens and raking traps after a shot. Could tell course was well maintained, but day of play golfers could have been more considerate in keeping course in good shape. Tempatures in the high 90's and beverage cart took our credit card on first hole and we never saw them again. Missed opportunity for sales and service.
Thank you for playing Annbriar! We are sorry that you only saw the beverage cart once. Hope to see you soon!
Great course
I liked the open fairways and big greens. The layout was also great it felt like each hole was separated from the rest
We are so happy to hear you had a great experience here at Annbriar Golf Course. We truly feel our course is fun but challenging!
We hope to see you back here at Annbriar Golf Course for another round soon!
Best Wishes,
Annbriar Golf Course Management
Wonderful Southern Illinois course
Great combination of links at the beginning morphing into woodlands at the back nine.
