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.

Help everyone play golf!

The course appears to be very worn for the first 30 yards getting the carts onto the grass and near the greens when you’re coming off. They also need to make sure that their bottles of sand or? Have material in them and that there are two on each cart which was in our case at all.

Great Affordable Public Course

The staff genuinely cares about your golf experience. The course is in a condition typical for public courses. The greens are excellent however and the tee boxes are rotated enough to not get too munched up. There are lots of trees, challenging water features, and some challenging par 5's. Many of the holes have significant elevation changes that make them very fun to play. I was paired with 2 walkers and the pace of play was great, on a sunny (not hot) Sunday afternoon we waited maybe 5min max on only a couple of holes. The other players were very conscientious about playing ready golf and exhibiting good sportsmanship. Only people who need a game to cost a lot & have immaculately manicured perfect greens on every hole to enjoy a round of golf would dislike this course.

Meadow Lark golf course

Decent small municipal style course. Last minute tee time setup and had to start at 6:40 am. No driving range before 7am was kind of a bummer but course was in pretty good condition. Few patchy spots ina couple of fairways .

$87 is definitely not worth it for this course

Don’t waste your time. This should be a $50 course at best. $87 is way too much for dirt patches on fairways.

We are sorry to hear your experience didn't match your expectations for our course. We are working to get better everyday and recently just aerified our fairways and tee boxes which should help with some of the patchy areas. We hope you'll give us another shot in the future!

Meadowlark Golf

Fun course to play with friends, family and strangers. Course is fairly wide open with some exceptions of residential houses on the edges of a few holes. Greens tend to have more break than they appear to have, they spend a lot of time keeping their greens looking and playing above par. Their food and bar area is a fun spot to grab a beer and burger. They have a decent amount of parking for weekdays and weekends. Meadowlark's fairways have seen an overall improvement this year, although like almost every course there are a few patches here and there. 4.3/5

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.

We would never choose this course again

We are very sorry to hear about the pace of play you encountered during your round. While our marshals do they're best to keep groups moving, sometimes we do get newer groups that need more assistance. We will be sure to speak to our marshals and work with them to help alleviate situations like this. We hope you'll join us again in the future for a much better round!

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

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!

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

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.
