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.

Low Quality

Way too expensive for the conditions it’s in. I’ve played cheaper courses that had more to offer. Crappy tee boxes and crab grass for “rough”. Worst course I’ve ever played.

Meadowlark Golf

The greens were in fantastic shape. The tees and fairways were very good. I have been more to a few expensive courses lately where the tee boxes are uneven and have dirt spots. These tee boxes were great. Only complaint is the sand traps, all of them, I know because I was in them! There is no sand, just hard pan underneath. The club bounces off of it. Just let grass grow in them. Would be better then no sand.

Thank you so much for leaving us a 4-Star rating and taking the time to leave some solid feedback for us. The bunkers are certainly an issue we are aware of and in fact, have a large order of bunker sand coming in this month which will be used in those bunkers your speaking of. Hopefully the next time your out, you notice a vast improvement in the sand traps!

Thank you for the rating and feedback! There are times when we temporarily close holes 1 & 2 due to an area by the second green which is used for wedding ceremonies. Golfers are still able to play all 18 holes, just starting on hole 3 and finishing on holes 1 & 2. We hope this doesn't stop you from playing Meadowlark again in the future as we would love to have you for another round!

Perfect weather
Used cart

A dangerous golf course

First of all, the electric cart swayed. It could creat any accident. Course are surrounded by housing area and busy streets. A lot of tee boxs are next to each other or practice green. A lot of amateur players hit the balls to your fairways from different holes. Course design is chaos.

We are sorry about the cart you had that day, we would have been happy to replace it for you and notify our mechanic of the needed repairs. As far as the setup of the course, unfortunately there isn't much we can do about the location of the roads and homes. Our course was built in 1922 when the homes and streets did not exist and over time, these things were added around us. We hope you will join us again in the future!

Great casual course!

As beginners it was great! Everyone was friendly and pace of play was great. It’s a great course without a lot of tough spots. It was very busy (cost matters) but they managers it well! Will definitely go back.

Quickest Round Ever Here

I’ve played Meadowlark probably 2 dozen times and one of things that keeps me away (even though it’s less than 5 minutes from my home) is pace of play. There are a couple of holes (notably #7) that can get severely backed up. A 5 or 6 hour round is not unheard of. However, on this day we tee’d off at 8:50a, and we’re done at 12:30p. Not sure if it was a freak thing or the time we tee’d off but it was great. May have to start coming here more often 😁

You guys still have made zero progress, failing to even report any plans, to improve the nightmare 12 tee box. Get it together
