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.

Great Shape and Excellent Pace

For the first time in my life I played a full 18 holes at this course in less than five hours, and on a Sunday afternoon no less. I wasn’t a fan of the prepaid online including a cart fee that I couldn’t change once I got to the course (I usually walk). However the course was in immaculate shape for a high volume muni course. Bunkers had plenty of soft sand and the greens were smooth and receptive.

Thanks for the review Steve! Usually we are able to refund the cart fee if you decide to walk (even if you pay the riding rate online). I'll make sure our staff here is on the same page in allowing that refund to occur, just make sure to let the pro shop attendant know when checking in about the adjustment and we should be able to take care of you. Hope to see you again soon!

OC hacker

This a hackers paradise. Errant shots aren't punished to badly. Some risk reward shots and a few forced lay up reduce potentially higher scores. There is one green that could cause some undue stress if you dont hit a near perfect shot the pin location did take into account the mound they called a green to make it playable. Course and greens are in good condition. The staff was great.

Excellent shape

This was my first time playing this course. I was very impressed with the condition it was in. Greens ran perfectly and the fairways looked like fairways. There was only one hole in the back nine that was roped off due to too much water collecting in front of green. Other than that, the course was awesome. Can't wait to go back.....

Don’t be in a hurry

Played this course several years ago…was not impressed with conditions/pace…thought I would try again. No effort made to speed up play (no Marshal on course…) Headed off of 6 green and found a walking foursome of high schoolers ahead of us….they were not anywhere around us the previous 6 holes! Course very busy but won’t be visiting this course again….too slow.

Sunday drivers

My playing partner and I decided at the ninth hole to end our frustration with the pace of play on Sunday, May 7. It took nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete nine holes, which is unconscionable even for a municipal course on a weekend. There was no Marshall in sight to encourage the two groups in front of us to keep up with golfers ahead of them. We heard from the “hold the green“ vendor that several early groups had gaps of 1 to 2 1/2 holes spacing between them, which slowed down the entire day

Waiting 20 to 30 minutes between swings is unacceptable. It will be a long time before I return to this course even though I enjoy the layout and the greens were in excellent condition.
