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.

Keep it in the fairway

This course is well maintained but if you miss you're in trouble. The rough is unforgiving.

Pretty and challenging

Course was in great shape.
Since we had all the snow recently, it was damp in a lot of places. However, it’s still in very good condition. Any shot in the fairway just sits right up. Even the rough was in good shape.
Cart path only because of all the residual moisture, but played well. Greens were in good condition-a little slow, but very receptive.
Overall just a great day out.

Great Course That Still Has A Few Issues

We had around 9 inches of rain on November 4-5 and 10 days later the course was way more wet than I would have expected. They had a little rain the night before but balls were plugging in some fairways. The course does not drain well. I played the Missouri Bluffs the day after the 9 inch rain and it was much less wet than Annbriar was today.

Overall, the course is in great shape for November. The $45 senior weekday rate is excellent. The only thing that needed attention is the right side of the #1 fairway, closer to the green. No grass.

They did have newly laid sod in bad areas on the white tees on #1 & #16, which was needed.

The hole location on hole #9 was unfair, just over the ridge. Unfair locations just slow down play. They need to have different colored flags for front, middle & back. Annbriar uses a small flag on the pin to show the location of the hole. You can barely see this. No other course I play does this. Annbriar is an upscale course and they need to get with the program with the different colored flag system.

Issues in the restaurant continue. We were the only people seated at a table and 3 employees were talking behind the bar. We had to go up and ask for menus and get some service. After we got this all fixed, the waitress was terrific.

Annbrair is a great course to play (best in the area) but they still continue to have some issues they need to attend to.
