Meadowlark Golf Course
About
Meadowlark Golf Club in Huntington Beach is a player-friendly layout that is a popular choice amongst locals. Like most classically designed layouts, the course is short and tight but that also makes it easily walkable. The pin placements on the greens can be tricky and there are also some challenging water hazards that come into play on several holes. The golf course will test your short game skills but there are wide, player-friendly fairways that balance the trickier elements. Beware, though, numerous trees on the golf course make many of the tee shots tight and narrow. It is not an overly difficult layout but it is an enjoyable round that players of any skill level will enjoy. Meadowlark also offers affordable rates that make it doubly appealing.

Non Golf Players on the course on a sunday
In the flights ahead of us as well as in our flight there where players who can not play golf.
It took as 2 hours to start to play hole 7, par 3.
so we left and paid sunday greenfee for 6 holes!!
We would never choose this course again

Had a great time today, first I would like to give a shout out to the guy behind the counter, very helpful and in a good mood, second we teed off right on time, only got backed up a couple times, the course was in good condition, greens were true, I’ve golfed here 3 times in the last week, and I wouldn’t come back like that if it was a bad experience, one thing I would like to say, the Ambassadors, it would be nice if you could drive around and when you see it’s getting backed up, say something, the first time I played last week, we got backed up 15 minutes at each hole after # 7, the people in front of us were more interested in talking about houses than golfing, I think it’s okay for the Ambassadors to let people know to play with the pace, the 3 some in front of them was playing the blue tees and they should have been on the white tee box, I understand everyone wants to play blue, but the Ambassadors should spot it and tell them to pick up, or play whites or gold, it’s ok guys, you will have more fun anyway, but that day was a really long day of golf, but all in all the weather has been great and if you start late you should plan on a 5 plus hour day, but I enjoy being out there, so give them a shot and enjoy yourself, course is good and the people are great
Slow Play
I had a good time, staff was great, the course is in good shape, my only complaint is the pace of play, I saw a couple marshals on the course, but they seemed to be more interested in picking up range balls rather than keeping up the pace, but overall it was a good day, I guess you need to plan for a 5 hour or better round, if you have the time, then go give it a try, I just didn’t like getting iced down at every tee box for 10 minutes, but great people and course, but if you need to be somewhere else in 4 hours, just pass, it won’t happen, I live here and play here and it’s been that way forever, plan 5 hours or more so you don’t get upset
The Unknown
Nice course but score card doesn’t show map of
course. Could not see any hazards or water on course.
Mushroom top greens. Almost everything rolls off.
Will play again for the challenge.
Nice but expensive
Short course with small greens that will challenge your accuracy. Pace is good if you go off in the early morning. Greens are in decent shape.
Thanks so much for the 4-Star rating! We hope your next round brings an extra star to your experience!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a rating. We are working everyday to make our course better and hope your next visits warrants even more stars!
Course was a swamp - No warning from shop
The layout of course is good. We understand it had rained 5 days prior to playing but the course had no drainage and standing water on every shot (other than greens which were good). Playing partners lost balls in the middle of fairways. The pro shop gave no warning of conditions other than stating cart path only. Very disappointing for playing the course first time.
We are sorry to hear your first experience at our club wasn't up to par. We try our best to inform those playing about the conditions with emails and signage around the club but unfortunately, sometimes the word doesn't spread. I truly appreciate your candid review and will work with our team to make sure we are doing a better job of letting players know about course conditions.
Thank you so much for the 5-Star rating!
Great value
Great condition and value. Many greens are raised which makes them difficult
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a 5-Star rating and such kind words. Our team works hard to provide a great product and your review means a great deal to us!
We had a great time
The greens where not up to par , but we loved it. We recommend it .
Thanks for the 4-Star rating and candid review. So happy to hear you had a great time! While we will be punching the greens at the end of the month, I will say that they are currently in fantastic shape! I hope you'll join us for another round soon!
Short Par 4
This course has quite a few short par 4’s so it will surely make you want to go for it!
Thanks for the 4-Star rating and review! Some of my favorite holes on our course are the short par 4's! Gotta love a chance for EAGLE!
Good, not great.
Wide fairways for the most part. Greens are fast For some unknown reason, even after the crazy hot days, there are a lot of soft marshy spots all over the place. Too much water? Terrible drainage? The marsh mixed with crazy dry patches make it insanely inconsistent. Staff is really nice so that helps. Also, to the two guys playing behind us (11:43 time) you are idiots for yelling at us to hurry. Less than two hours in, we were on hole 11 so sorry you jerks play at record pace… but I did see you hit and you guys were not Rory. Cheers
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review with some great feedback. We do battle with drainage issues unfortunately. With the course being over 100 years old and no drainage ever installed, we do end up with some inconsistency with wet areas, especially in these warmer months when we have to irrigate more. We hope the "gentlemen" in the group behind you don't deter you from visiting us for another round soon!
Oldie but goodie
Got a great price with a daily deal for two. SoCal heat wave was in place so opted to play this course several miles from ocean. Weather was perfect on course. Like most all older public courses in SoCal, the fairway grass can be thin, but the green bunkers and fringe around greens was pretty good. A very nice round with minimal delays.
Thank you so much for the kind words and 4-Star rating! We can't wait to see you again soon!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful and candid review! We appreciate this type of feedback as it allows us to identify issues we may not have otherwise seen and address them. We will most certainly work with our ambassadors to get on and stay on groups sooner which should hopefully prevent pace issues. Looking forward seeing you out at the Lark again soon!
