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.

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 😁

Tee box on 12

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

We truly appreciate your candid feedback of our course. Our uneven tee boxes is certainly something that has been a topic of discussion for a while now and we are absolutely working on a plan to make improvements moving forward. We hope you will continue to play and enjoy all the other great things Meadowlark GC has to offer!

Tricky greens

Fun course to play as usual. This time we waited a month or so after greens were punched to see the difference and oh man did they run fast and tricky all day. Good luck to everyone on the 12th green haha.

Nice Muni Course with always cool beach weather

This is a nice muni course in the city of Huntington Beach. Weather is always good, local golfers with knowledge are very helpful and course is in good shape. Holes are tight, so be on the lookout for balls flying towards your direction and make sure it’s you’re ball you’re hitting. Pace can be long, but average 4.5-5 hours.

Overall good value

Lots of history here, great price.

They MUST do something with the tee boxes. 12 has been a nightmare for as long as I’ve played this course. Get off the pot and do something!

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and 4-Star rating! I definitely understand your frustration with some of the tee boxes, especially #12. Unfortunately the issues with this tee box stem from working to protect homeowners along this hole. We work hard everyday to make Meadowlark better and hope you start to see that we are not just sitting on the "pot".

Meadowlark Golf Club

My husband loves playing Meadowlark in Huntington Beach. It had some very interesting holes. Got a great deal on Tee Off and we golfed with a friend. The staff is always friendly and the pace of play can sometimes be slow, but not when we played. Hope to play there more often.

Water and Hills

This course is always fun to play. Fairways are forgiving with a few tee boxes that you have to avoid the water. Hills and ponds add the need to approach this course with a strategic mindset. Played right after the greens were punched, which isn't ideal but was still a great time.
