Annbriar Golf Course
Played On 09/28/2016Anbriar - Terrific Public Course in Metro STL area
This was the first time playing Anbriar Golf Course and I couldn't have been happier. The holes were designed so that no two were all that similar. The surroundings are quite picturesque. The roughs, fairways and greens were in very good condition (especially the fairways). If you haven't played Anbriar, you must. Given that much of the surroundings in Waterloo, IL seem very flat and rural, it was a pleasant surprise that this this excellent course really pops topography. There are a number of fairly flat holes, mixed in with many very hilly layouts. Obstacles include bunkers and some limited water hazards (we played the back 9, there might have been more on the front).
My only criticism is that there were no bathroom facilities on the course itself (again, at least not on the back 9). That addition would make this an absolutely perfect course.
I guarantee you will enjoy this course. Only behind some of the nicer resort courses near Lake of the Ozarks, this is one of the best courses I've played in the Midwest.
It's also a very good value for the money (we played twilight rates).
The Prairies of Cahokia Golf Course
Played On 08/28/2016Nice course - reasonable challenges
This is the first time I played at The Prairies of Cahokia. It's a nice layout. I'd say it offers moderate difficulty. Hole 9 is a bit odd. It's the hardest dog-leg right I've ever played - a little hard to get the lay of it until after your tee shot.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The snack bar food was quite good, especially the burgers.
Carts were in good shape. Cart paths also in good shape.
My only minor complaint is that some of the rough was just a little bit patchy. But the fairways were decent and the greens were well maintained. For the hot rate we got, it was a great deal.
Spencer T. Olin Golf Course
Played On 08/04/2016Great course in terrific shape
I had always heard good things about the Spencer T. Olin golf course. Having played it, I can see why. The entire course is in great condition - fairways, tee boxes and greens were all well maintained.
Fellow golfers were very nice, as was the staff. I would highly recommend this course, especially for the special rates which are often offered. It's a great value for what you get.
Forest Park Golf Course - Red Bud
Played On 07/28/2016Forest Park Red Bud Course
The course was in great condition and greens fees were very reasonable. I look forward to coming back again.
Rolling Hills Golf Club - Executive Course
Played On 02/21/2016Decent condition for winter play
We really had a good time at Rolling Hills. Got a chance to play about 14 holes. Only disappointment was that one of our carts died and it took about 25 minutes for them to replace it. Otherwise, it was a nice day to play and conditions were pretty good. I was impressed with the greens for February play. Rough was manageable and fairways were pretty good. The two-some in front of us was very, very slow. But I don't blame the course for that.
