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.

No starter on first tee
The first tee is a nightmare! I play this course several times a year and pace of play is abysmal every time and it starts on the first hole. There isn’t a starter, groups go off late or choose to play separately even if they should be paired together. All they need to do is have a real starter. The bag boys have no clue whats going on and they the closest thing to a starter. The course is fun and always in great shape but not having a starter sitting at the first hole makes the rounds drag on. This course is touted as one of the best courses in illinois but it is run worse than a 9 hole muni.

Fantastic
Hadn't played Annbriar in about 10 years and boy did I miss it. You really can't beat this place on the quality and value for the money. Coming from Texas, I can tell you that this place is a steal. Pristine fairways, greens that roll true all day long, views, and a challenging layout for any golfer. When I'm in town again, I'll definitely be back here. Keep up the great work guys, it really shows!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.

Best golf course in the Midwest
Have played this course many, many times and it just gets better with age. The front nine allows one to ease into the round with forgiving fairways. The back nine is through the woods with elevated tee boxes and stunning views. Few courses provide this much value and fun for a very affordable price. Special place!

Awesome Weekend Getaway
My wife and I decided to basically live at Annbriar for two days. By that I mean we ate heartily for lunch at Smokehouse restaurant before an afternoon round and had a fabulous breakfast before playing the next day. Food was great and reasonably priced. Annbriar is truly a gem. The 5 hour round on holiday weekend was acceptable when we considered the awesome views on EVERY hole. Each unique in their own way. Tees are fair and challenging for all players. Be prapared for walking as cart paths do not stop close to greens and cart direction signs sometimes are placed way out in front of greens.. Love the strategy involved with the course. Will we be back? You betcha! First time players will definitely put this on their repeat list.

Great Course & Price.
Annbriar is my favorite St. Louis metro course. With a price of $52 for a weekend in late May - what a bargain. Always friendly and I love playing here.
However, the course was not in its usual pristine condition. Starting with hole 1. The fairway was in a bit of rough shape. Throughout the round, there were other fairways that had areas of dirt where grass was having a hard time growing. Maybe, with the warmer temps coming up, the zoysia will take over and improve this.
The rough is very dense and thick. Probably too high for weekend golfers.
The greens were in their usual great shape.
Little unusual that there didn't seem to be a normal crowd at Annbriar on a Saturday. When we were in the restaurant, which is normally busy, we were the only ones in there. My friend ordered the pulled pork and he said it was awful. It tasted like it came out of a can. This was very unusual because we love the food at Annbriar.
One thing Annbriar needs to do to get in line with every other course you will play. They need to get different colored flags for front, middle and back. Such a fine course that Annbriar is - they still use the the small flag on the flagstick to indicate front, middle and back.
Annbriar is a great course. Priced right and friendly. Looks like they had a few hiccups this Saturday but always put this course at the top of your list to play.

Spend the Whole Day, Literally
5 1/2 hour round. Very minimal marshall presence. They will run people off if this continues.
Greens were fast and true. Rough a little long in spots, but expected this time of year.
Love the course, but will think twice next time.
Hello, Diehardgolfnut. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Annbriar Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

The Course is FANTASTIC!
Fairways were immaculate, and the rough was a place you didn't want to be. The Greens were very fast with very challenging pin placement. This course makes you think about what to do from the Tee box, on every hole. The grounds crew should be commended for the effort they put in to make the course beautiful. You wouldn't know they had hosted a three day tournament just prior to my round. Thanks for the experience! My only regret is, I didn't take pictures..
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Annbriar Golf Course.
