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.

Slow pace, ridiculously pompous starter

While I was standing on the first tee 10 minutes before my scheduled tee time the grumpy old starter had the gall to tell me I was late and that I was backing the entire course up. Didn’t mention the four goofs in front of me who decided to play the blue tees even though none of them hit a drive further than 65 yards all day. Greens were in great shape though.

Meadowlark is short but not easy

Meadowlark is pretty short and not too expensive relative to other courses so you do get some less experienced golfers, we experienced a group in front of us that was a hole and a half behind BY THE SECOND HOLE!. Many mulligans and whiffs and dribbles. Overall pace of play was not outrageously slow (4:20) but later in the day, I saw 3 groups waiting to tee off on # 3 - so it does back up. There was an ambassador driving around but not really hurrying people up.

The course has tricky greens and the hilly track has some challenge to it. The conditions were OK. Greens looked hairy, but rolled OK if a little slow.

I will play again, you just have to pack your patience.

The restaurant and bar are nice and casual. Staff is nice.

Aerated course

We made tee times a week ago. We payed full fair and was not told that the greens had been aerated. We feel that 1) we should have been told and 2) we at least should have gotten a break on green fees. Paying premium for a course that had been aerated is unacceptable for me and my group. It has been years since I have played this course and after yesterday it will most likely be many more years before I come back.

Home course

I live less than 5 min from here so I play it all the time. Good course. offers a decent challenge. Plays a slow on most days is the only down side.

Played Slow

The course was in good shape and really green. The only complaint was that it backed up on every hole. I golfed mid week and did not t-off until 1:40. This seemed like i was playing on a Sunday morning.

Overpriced

Booked a round ($46) for green fees and cart but then was charged $14 to have my own golf cart so total ended up being $60. Not worth $60 for this course.

HOLIDAY GOLF IN CALIFORNIA

It was presidents day and Valentines day. So the course was packed. Although short, the greens demand some attention, with three putts possible on a few. A nice course to hit some shots and work on your game.
