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.

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.

Nice Saturday at the Beach

The starter let us out 10 minutes before our tee time. The weather was perfect. Pace of play was very good. No long waits to take next shot. The course was in good condition.

Overall a great day at Meadowlark.

4 Hours

This is a first in about a decade where I completed 18 holes in 4 Hours. A beautiful day, and I shot pretty good as well. This probably won't happen again. But it was Awesome.

Nice Course. Easy to get on and play

I've played here several times and find the course immensely pleasant. Not too long and not too easy. It is a fair test for average to good golfers. Good practice facilities and nice 19th hole.

Greens suck, but otherwise a good value

Greens in bad shape but it's a nice course otherwise. Best twilight value around Orange County.

Good amount of hills so a great exercise when walking.

Early start

Got a hot deal, but was allowed by the starter to tee off a bit early. I was first ou, and played in 2 1/4 hours. What a pleasant experience. Thanks troy. Only draw back was that greens keepers were cutting the greens, and had to wipe away grass clipping on several holes while they worked. But well worth the time savings for a quick round. Overall a great golf experience.

Fun & challenging course

The greens could use some tender loving care & it would be nice to have rangefinders in the golf carts, but aside from these minor issues the course is good for the money. The staff is great & the pace of play is above average.

Going to the dogs

They should put up a sign that says, "Start on any hole other than 1 and play for free!" Honestly, they have let the course go with the poor turf conditions, apparently thinking location is enough. Also, there are range balls scattered all over every hole.

I was expecting slow play given they were booked but the round was ridiculous! The groups in front of us changed with almost every hole, with people jumping on and off the course. The last of the offenders was a group of 7 playing together. The place needs a groundskeeper and a Marshall. Too bad because it used to be a great place to play.
