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.

Course layout and condition

The course layout is fantastic. There are no homes or other structures around the course. It is great to play golf and spend time with mother nature. The tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are always in great shape. A very enjoyable experience.

Country Club Conditions and Staff

We have a group that plays here weekly. The condition of the course is as good, if not superior, to Country Clubs in our area.
The staff is always friendly and so helpful.
Every time we play, we remark among ourselves as to what superb shape the course is in. They ALWAYS have staff working on the course when we play………fixing and raking bunkers, etc.
If you play one course in the St. Louis Metropolitan
Area play Annbriar.

NEXT LEVEL

My Brother flew in and we had a 2 day 2 course a day run.
Played Crescent Farms/Pevely farms day 1. Gateway/Annbriar Day 2.
In those respective orders. He has played TPC courses, Pinehurst courses, and other major popular courses, belongs to Taconic in Mass.
and without hesitation said for the Value this is the best course he has played!!!!!
I play here once a week or so, he is NOT wrong. The only gripe I ever have is update the Bathrooms, and he agreed. It seems small but that little fix, makes the memory whole!

Sloooooest round ever!!!!!

This was the slowest round of golf I’ve ever played. Teed off at 1:15 p.m.,at 5:05 we sat waiting to tee off at 14 for over 15 minutes. These guys wouldn’t clear the green until all 4 balls were putted in the cup! No marshall’s anywhere and not only were these guys slow but there was a 5 some group ahead of them! We didn’t finish the round and left with 4 to go. The only positive was the round was $29.00. It will be a heck of a long time before we come back, if ever. For such a premier course to let this go on is ridiculous.

Great Course but far drive

This course is great. In excellent condition greens roll true. But this course is really far from St. Louis and you shouldn’t drive out to it. You have to drive through East Louis and you could get car jacked. Go play Forest Park or something else. Not worth the risk maybe just stay home.
