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.

10 years away from golf

Have played about 6 times in the last 5 months. Prior to that, I hadn’t played for approximately 10 years, when I was playing 2-3 times per week, but not really getting any better, so literally turned my back on the game. Had played Meadowlark during that time, and it beat me up. I am now retired, and have immersed myself into golf, and enjoying it more now, than ever. This time, Meadowlark did not beat me up. It still beat me, but not as bad as before. My game is much better at this time of my life, and I am much more relaxed. Had a great time with my son, and two guys that joined us, and they were awesome, and so was my day.

Windy weather
Walked

Flooded fairways

I played Meadowlark on 1/7/24 and the majority of the fairways were underwater. I don't recall it raining recently so obviously the course doesn't drain well at all. Even with all that water on the course they are still charging $83 which makes no sense to me. OK course and very overpriced, stay away in the winter!

Our drainage is certainly an issue we fight throughout the winters here. Unfortunately when the course was built in 1922, drainage was not a part of the construction. We do our best to pump water out of areas and create drier conditions but things are certainly soggy during the winter/rainy times. We hope you'll come join us for a round once the weather turns and we get some warmer temps.

Please drain your course

I haven’t played this course in a couple of years, it rained over a week ago and there was so much standing water. I don’t understand why they couldn’t try to drain some the water out

You're absolutely correct about the standing water recently. Unfortunately with our over 100 year old course, there is almost no drainage. When the water table rises, standing water can happen quick. We do our best to reduce irrigation and minimize watering whenever possible but we still end up with some soggy spots during the winter months. Hopefully you will give us another shot when the weather warms a bit.

Thanks for the 4-Star rating and kind words. Once we get past the rainy season and things can dry out a bit, pace gets much better as we don't have designations for carts and more riders than walkers. Hope to see you soon!

Another great day

Great check-in and helpful starter

All fairways in great shape. But 2.

Greens most all excellent or goo.

Layout is interesting and challenging.

Very little high rough so is forgiving .

Play 2 times per month.

Great time to play before winter rains create problems.
