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.

I am not thinking about repeat play here.
All courses were flat and short in distance, making them suitable for beginners.
The waiting time at each hole was long, and it took about 5 hours and 20 minutes for 18 holes.
Our course is certainly a bit on the shorter side making a great place for someone newer to the game. Meadowlark was built in 1922 and it's difficulty comes from our very small, undulating greens. Looking forward to another chance to show you a great day at the Lark!
Course has made some good improvements
The course was pretty rough 6 months ago but they have made some great improvements to the cart paths and the overall course conditions. I would love for them to cut/ roll the greens a little more. When we played the greens were rolling at about an 8 this course would get all 5 stars if they could improve their green speeds as well as the bunker sand. All in all a good orange county course with reasonable prices for the area. The food offered at the course is also fantastic which is always a plus in my book.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and 4-Star rating! We've been working hard to make Meadowlark as great as we know it can be and continue to make improvements every day. See you out on the links again soon!
Thanks for the 4-Stars!
Nice 1/2 Round
I have played Meadowlark a few times and I like the course. However, the pace of play on a Saturday is so slow that a round of golf is simply not enjoyable. There is simply not enough time between foursomes in order to avoid really long wait times on every hole. Three hours to play 9 holes is absurd. We paid for 18 holes but couldn’t justify over 6 hours on the course plus our commute time.
So sorry to hear about the pace you encountered during your round. We've been working hard on creating a better pace of play and hope you give us another shot!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 3-Star rating. Unfortunately our course does not have drainage built in which leaves some wet conditions at times. We do our best to adjust our watering to ensure we are only adding necessary water to areas. Come play a round in the afternoon or during the summer to see a drier side of Meadowlark.
Thanks for the 4-Stars!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 3-Star rating. We are working hard to make our course better everyday and hopefully that will show the next time you play a round!
Not bad
Pace was good, and course in good shape. Plus new golf carts!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and 5-Star rating!
The greens were punched on tutoday. Surprisingly they weren't so bad today.
Not a whole lot of sand like. Other courses I've played the greens where a little slow but true.
Thanks for the 4-Star rating and positive feedback. Aerification is always a tough time and we greatly appreciate your understanding!
Looks like we fell short of your expectations with the 1-Star rating you left. Hopefully you will give us another try and we can add a few stars to your next visit!
Thanks for the 4-Stars!
Bruce & Jeani
Course is in great shape, other than a few wet spots. Good green conditions. Tee boxes need leveling.
We'll definitely be back.

Thanks for the 5-Star rating David!
A staple in the rotation
Meadowlark is always a staple in our rotation of courses we play. You really can’t go wrong with a friendly and accommodating staff, and an amazing course for the price in the area! Cart included! If it’s open, book it and have fun! Even if you’re solo, you always get paired with good people
Thank you for the kind words and 5-Stars Yoshi! Excited to have you back for another round soon!
My favorite OC MUNI
5 star rating, my five star rating is based on the following:
Course conditions: course conditions are great, this course plays like a true muni should. Pace of play is most always 4 hours, however we know how all courses get in the late afternoons. The value is outstanding, the course has a great online reservation system and if I’ve ever had a tee time question the pro shop always answers.
Proshop & Staff: there is a gentleman by the name of Jordan, this guy is fun, he’s outgoing, nice and from the sounds of things with the other employees promotes a good culture. The cart girl starts around 9ish so sometimes that’s rough if you have a early early time, but the snack shop always gets it done for those occasions. The proshop is surprisingly stocked and stocked well… I’m talking big name brands, great finds, and good prices. For example I found a TaylorMade hat on-site that I didn’t want to buy online and couldn’t find at local stores, pretty cool to not have a hefty price tag at a course retail shop.
Course amenities: nice driving range, perfect for the pre round warmup, there is a nice putting green with decent slope and true course speed, this helps get things dialed in. The restaurant and bar has fantastic food and i challenge you to find a better bar atmosphere at a golf course, and everyone is respectful and welcoming.
My bottom line: you really feel the city of Huntington Beach at this course, laid back atmospheres, beautiful beach weather and amazing prices from snack shop to proshop to tee times.
When I go to book a Teetime the “Lark” is the first I consider
Thanks for the super positive feedback and 5-Stars Jordan! Really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great review of Meadowlark!
Really appreciate you taking the time rate us with 4-Stars!
good tough little course
i like this course, the layout, usually in good shape.
pace of play was an issue for the front 9, seemed
to move a little better on the back.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear the pace picked up for you on the back-9, that's usually how we see the pace run at our course. A little slower on the front and faster on the back. See you out on the course again soon I hope!
