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.

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!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a rating for us. We hope next time we can better meet your expectations and get a couple more stars added!
Nice for the money
Course was in good condition we enjoyed it. Only con was the pace of play, it bottled up about 9th hole.
The kind words about our course are greatly appreciated along with the 4-Star rating! Thank you!
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.
Thanks for the positive words OC hacker! Looking forward to having you out for another round soon!
Many thanks for the 4-Star rating and kind words! Hope to see you at the course again soon!
Green are challenging
Played in 4:20. Greens are in good shape and challenging. Some tee boxes were on slopes, could have been more level Good pace of play
Thanks for the kind words and 5-Stars Sean!
Thanks for the 4-Stars!
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.....
Thank you so much for the excellent review and 5-Star rating. We can't wait to have you back out for another round!
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.
I'm so sorry to hear about the pace issues you face on your most recent round. It's definitely an issue that we are aware of and working to improve. We hope you decide to give us another chance to prove your experience was an anomaly. Thank you for taking the time to leave constructive feedback to help us improve moving forward!
Thanks for the 4-star rating!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us with some constructive feedback to help us get better. There is a much higher sense of urgency to fix the pace of play issues we see from time to time and we hope the next time you choose to play Meadowlark we can show you a much better experience.
Thanks for the 5 Stars!!!
