Meadowlark Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Short Par 4
This course has quite a few short par 4’s so it will surely make you want to go for it!
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
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!

Better than I expected
Played this course for the first time with my grandson and it was a pleasant experience. A little confusing at times but not as tight as I was expecting. We played the front nine with no wait at tee boxes however the back nine was a different story. Very, very slow back nine with waiting at every turn so we cut our round short. All in all good experience and we’ll be back.
So happy to hear you enjoyed your round at Meadowlark GC! We've been working hard on our pace of play here and apologize for the back 9 issues. Hope to see you again soon!
Thank you for the 4-Star rating!
The Lark
Meadow Lark rarely offers good deals, but they did and I took it. It was a good day.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a rating and let us know you had a good day! Looking forward to having you out again and adding a couple more stars to that rating!
Good challenge
Relatively flat municipal type course. Highest value is that it is close enough to ocean that air temperature and breeze makes playing very comfortable on hot days. Course is not long, and played from blue tees whereas often would play whites at other courses. Conditions are pretty good and turf on most of the playing surfaces. Biggest challenge are some challenging putting surfaces.
Thank you for the 4-Stars and leaving us some kind words about our facility. We can't wait to have you out for another round!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 3-Star rating. We hope to provide an even better experience on your next visit!
Thanks for the 4-Stars!

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!
