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.

6.5 hours for a round of golf

Our tee time was delayed 45 minutes. We finish the round in 6.5 hours. For a $69 fee you can play at a much better course with better service. Will not be coming back here again.

Good Track

Meadowlark is a good course and is maintained pretty well. The greens right now are really nice. I have the same complaint about every course though, just costs so much to golf on a weekend. For a Par 70 layout, paying 70$ to ride seems high on a muni.

Still a beauty

I hadn’t played Meadowlark in several years and to my eyes, the conditions were even better than they used to be. Fairways and greens were great, the rough was heavy, and tee boxes were lush. All of this was overshadowed, unfortunately, by a 4 hour 45 minute round (10:15 tee time). In my opinion, a par 70, sub 6,000 yard course should NEVER be a 4 hour round, let alone near 5: This problem NEEDS to be fixed

First time

Fun course. Check in was a little slow so, allow 45 minutes to check in if you want to hit some practice balls.
