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.

One of best in St. Louis area

This course is one of my favorites in the ST. Louis area. A joy to play, always in very good condition, even after the awfully hot summer we had this year. Worth the higher greens fee. Even better when I golfed for $20 through Golf Now!

a real gem

played late in the season so the fescue wasnt as high as it should have been, so the course was a little easier than normal. this course is great reminds me of harborside in chicago except where the lake should be there are pine trees. about a 20-30 min drive from dt st louis but well worth it. course in great shape and staff super polite.

Great Place to Play, Can't Wait for the Summer

Annbriar is always a great course to play. This is the first time I've played there in the off season and was not disspointed. As I have come to expect in playing there, the course was as nice as any in St. Louis.

I am a pretty big fan of links style courses and this is among the best in the area. I will definitely try to make it out again this winter. I hope they also continue the $21 evenings next summer.

Definitely worth the drive.

Slow Play

Cart path only so it took 5 hours to play. People don't take enough clubs with them and have to go back to the cart. Come on people, get a clue!!

Best public course in st louis area

Challenging but not so difficult that the round is not fun. Pristine conditions. If the course was in Missouri, it would cost $100+ to play. Very friendly staff. Would play here everyday if I could.

Course looks great

The carts were a bit disappointing as they were pretty dirty and the club washer didn't have much water in it.

Overall very nice

Course was in very good shape for late fall golf

Annbriar does a great job clearing leaves and keeping course in very playable conditions. Greens were in excellent condition, except I missed all my 13 birdie putts... (more the golfer's issues than the course). The staff and service were not bad, but not too welcoming and easy for a single to link up with a group of players, I had to find my own foursome on the tee.

Fantastic as always

Only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather, but a bad day golfing is better than a good day at work. Well worth the vacation day spent.

Beautiful setting

My husband and I love this course. Worth the drive from St. Louis. Beautiful course, friendly staff. Waterloo offers some great dining destinations to make a day out of it. We will return again and again.

"Bang-for-the-buck" at Annbriar is the best in Greater St. Louis

Based on the "Steele Index" (my rating system to compare the merits of public golf courses relative to the "average daily fee golfer), Annbriar tops my list of affordable, challenging and well-conditioned courses in Metro St. Louis.
My group played August 8, 2012, at the height of the 2012 drought. Despite the severe summer weather, the Annbriar staff had the course in near-perfect condition. The fairways, as always, were all but perfect. The rough, unbelievably, was lush, well-mowed, perfectly playable. (One of the few courses I played this year for which that could be said.) The greens were moderately quick, given the necessity of letting them grow a bit during the oppresive heat. Tees and traps were in fine shape.
Played from the proper tees, it is a course well-suited for players of moderate to excellent skill. The 3-Pars are all strong; the Par 4's present a variety pleasing to the eye; and the Par 5's are fair and afford some birdie opportunities.
A competent staff, great clubhouse and good practice facilites add to the value and experience at Annbriar.

Only played two holes

Although I only played two holes due to rain, they were in great shape, and I look forward to going back there to finish my round!
