The Annbriar History

Ann Nobbe envisioned turning her family's farm into a golf course.

After her tragic death in an automobile accident in January 1990, her parents pursued her dream, naming the course in her honor and beginning construction on May 13, 1991. Two years later, on Memorial Day weekend, May 28, 1993, Annbriar was opened for public play.

Golf Digest rated Annbriar one of America's Top 500 "Places to Play."

Today an attractive clubhouse is on the site of the original farmhouse, and a large pavilion is located on the site of the old barn. The 100-year-old smokehouse, which still stands, was adopted as the Annbriar logo.
