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.

Off the beaten path gem!!

The course was very well taken care of. Had some slow play, but not so bad I wouldn’t play again. It would’ve been nice to have some water available on the course but let’s be honest if that’s the worst I got we’re in good shape. Loved it!!

GREAT Course but Slow play.

Course was in great shape and weather good. A little hot but nice breeze felt good.
Pace of play was slow as the course was packed. Not horribly slow though.
Golf pass made playing very affordable which i took advantage of!

Remarkable, As Always

This has always been a favorite course of mine, in the area. The layout is challenging, yet fair, from any of the tee locations. The superintendent and staff do amazing work to keep the course in the condition that it's in. At the price, you won't find a better option in the St. Louis area.

Great Course

One of my favorite places to play, always in great shape and $75 weekend summer rate is a steal. Booked an 8:50 tee time and wasn’t told there was a tournament at 9. Ended up being a 6 hour round from that, so if you book, definitely ask if there’s a tournament being played that day. Never had a bad experience there, still one of my favorites.

I’ve Seen Annbriar In Better Shape.

The last time I played Annbriar about a month ago, I said the fairways were a bit rough in areas. This still continues and even some of the tees are looking rough too. It is not awful but it does take away from the playing experience, because Annbriar is usually in pristine condition. Annbriar is still a great course and worth playing.

Annbriar is starting to have a problem with a weed called goosegrass. It looks like crabgrass and is unsightly. You can find it in most fairways, with these being the worse (5, 6, 8 & 9). Some of the white tees even had it (11, 16, 17). Some bare spots on tees (1, 16).

The greens are in excellent shape, however, they putted on the slower side. The 15th green was showing some minor stress.

Overall, the rough was good, cut at a lower level to make finding your ball easier. Annbriar has not had significant rain in some time. Parts of the rough are really scorched. The hillside on the par 3, 15th, is very dry. I felt parts of the 16th fairway were on the dry side too.

The service in the restaurant was outstanding. The course did have a beverage cart out during the warm day.

I still recommend Annbriar, but it is not in the pristine shape that you & I are accustomed to seeing.
