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.

Pace of play, grounds dramatically improved

Not that it was ever that bad, but earlier in the season the pace was way too slow and the grounds were not in good shape. Now both of those issues have been addressed with great results

Nice course layout

Enjoyed playing this course. Elevation changes, water elements, and dog legs make this course both fun and challenging. They were in the process of placing sand on the greens which was unfortunate for playing but understandable from a maintenance standpoint. Wish we knew in advance. Other than that, a great experience

Staff

Steve is a great manager. He can handle all problems with a smile. He can accommodate players in all difficult situations. Tom is an experienced staff and friendly person. Other staff are also good. Course condition is good excep people don’t always fix ball marks on the green.

No carts

Paid $68 to play on a Saturday morning. Showed up and they had no carts. Checked the price of the same open times and it was half what we paid. We paid $68 through the app and the app showed $34 on my buddies app.

Staff friendliness

i don't know why they have new policy for cart rental: from 10am to 12pm no guaranty to have cart which means no cart. I played there many times and there was no shortage of carts. My tee time was 11:50am, at first the starter did not want to give us any cart although there were three carts available. They said although Golfnow hot deal includes cart but its up to them to give it out per their new policy. I played there every week, same tee time, for several months and I always have carts. I explained to him , offered to pay extra to get the carts, offered to play after 12pm, etc...but he wouldn't budge. Fortunately, Steve the manager was there and heard our conversation. He accommodated us and let the four of us ride. Steve is a good manager, people friendly, and customer oriented. We all appreciated him.

Request a refund

The course and staff are great.

However, one golfer was in an auto accident on the way to the course.

I requested a credit/refund at the course. I was told to contact GolfNow for credit/refund.

You can call Meadowlark GC at 714-846-1364 ext 203 and ask for Steve Bossard to verify
