Meadowlark Golf Course
About
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.

Not to friendly
The starter was not very friendly......kinda made the mood of the round no fun....
As expected for a Saturday morning
Played Saturday morning at 830am. The weather was perfect, so the course was busy, as you would expect. The round took 5 1/2 hours, which is about average for Meadowlark on a Saturday morning. When I play there on a Sunday morning the round usually takes about 45 minutes, less. The course was in good shape and we enjoyed ourselves. It was a great idea to have the grill set up just before the Par 3 seventh, which is where you generally get the longest back-up. We were able to get our burgers without having to go inside the coffee shop, so that definitely speeds things up a bit. All in all, a good day and a good course for a reasonable price.
Quaint
#1 hole is reachable. So, they have a tree right in front of the green. #2 is reachable. So, they have a man made creek filled with god knows what (I think I saw my ball literally dissolve). Yes, the course is quirky to say the least. The course is relatively flat and short. But, I actually enjoyed the course. This is an everyday course sitting right in the hood with cool ocean breeze flowing across the day. Yes, that actually was fun.
Over booked course
Course is overbooked. On top of that they do not have any course Rangers making sure that speed of play is enforced. We are looking at the play the back nine first. I understand it's a public course, but if they want to make this course is rated better they need to make sure that the rules are being forced regards to speed of. play.
Fun Course
This course may not be long, however with the water, wind and doglegs, this course is challenging. You will use every club in the bag. Some holes require extremely well thought out shot selections and yardage.
First time playing the course. Fairways looked great and greens were in good shape. The elevation change off several tees and some approach shots made for some challenging and enjoyable playing. all but 2 or 3 greens were running fast. A few greens have some slope to them so stick it close. All in all I would definitely play it again.
Worst round of 83 I ever had. The pace of place for awful. No help from the pro shop on letting a 2 some play thru a 4 some which was holding up the golf course
Loved it but....
The course is fabulous and I would play it again. However, I have to rate the customer service as poor. I had a 1 o'clock tee time and did not go off until 1:30 PM . I was told this was due to a tournament that ihad overbooked with more players and they had previously said they would have. I was further told because I made my tee time on line they have no way of notifying me. This sounds a little strange as the Internet is everywhere.. Golf Now should post a warning if a tournament is scheduled ahead of available teatime is being offered on the site.
spend some $, fix the course
Cart paths are in need of repair and have for some time. A few of the greens, #12 and #14 in particular need to be improved. These mounds are not challenging, their not fair and good shots are not rewarded.
