Meadowlark Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Poor conditions
Fairways are very close to one another Constantly hearing four! Alot of bare dirt areas & ground lumpy.Price good for practicing Par 70
Worth your money
This course is worth your time and money to golf. It's not a difficult course by any means but it puts of enough challenges to make it worth your time out there. Pace of play for a Saturday afternoon was pretty good - I think we only waited at the tee box once for 2-3 minutes at the turn. The level of golfer here isn't necessarily as strong as other courses so you do need to keep an eye out for errant balls and expect to have some people in your fairway from time to time. Overall, it's a good course and time and I've already booked my tee time for the next weekend.
Squeezing in a round at 3pm
My buddy and I were looking for a cost effective course in the area and it was between Meadowlark vs David Baker. I like going to Meadowlark because I like the layout of the course and the greens are in better condition than David Baker. The pace of play at Meadowlark is fair, but that's expected when you're playing around twilight hours.
The afternoon staff
The afternoon staff is not polite and not courteously at all. I'm 66 years all and have a membership ,somehow every time I checked in at 5:00pm ,he always talked down to me and acted as giving a favor or donation to me. Beside that he might overcharged the cart fee ( $14 ) without giving the receipt to customer, I wonder this money will be turning to the cashier or to somewhere else. ( This man is surely younger then my youngest son ,however the politeness is at least required at anywhere , don't you think so ?) in another word customer feels like a beggar but the King. . I wrote this review for other people who were treated the same way. I'm looking for the change of this situation. Best regards.
One of my favorites
The course has always been in good shape. By the beach so it's cooler on those really hot days. It's a nice walk if your up to it, and it has some challenging holes with risk and reward value.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round at Meadowlark! Thanks for coming out to play, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Course offers a non repetitive holes
I had to use at least 10 diferent clubs due to de way is set
Good twilight round in HB
I really love the the layout which is why I always come back to meadowlark. The fairways could be a little bit greener and manicured but surprisingly the greens were in decent shape this time. Which made it possible for me to shot a decent score with no three putting. Opened my round with a birdie on the first hole and ended my round with back to back pars draining a 40 footer uphill breaking right to left. Draino!!! Shot a 85 which is my average. I haven't been able to play well since I had knee surgery back in early May. Played three round this week and finally my game showed up. Green River on Wednesday, Sky Links on Friday and Meadowlark on Sunday. I love this game! #golflife

Good condition of fairway
Started 06:44 Tee off
Good pace of proceeding interval
Fair way was great most holes, even dry season

Price is right but prepare to be patient
Nice track however as with many muni courses very busy...waited on just about every shot which can get frustrating...
Walkers slow the pace down considerably so they may want to consider ride only.

We have just recently launched our Pace of Play Program for our guests which is a new strategy to keep things moving on the course.

Longer than it looks
The course plays much longer, the weather was awesome. The greens make it challenging. Great time!

Good place to play for the money
Great speed of play and good greens
Good value
Played here like 5x. Well kept for the price if u get a hot deal. The pace of play is hit or miss... This time was a hit. 4 hrs. Last time was 4hrs thru 10....could use some water jugs on the course...

Great water placements
Nice challenge in every hole the par fives where fair not difficult at all even though I bogeyed and pared. Greens where a bit on the fast side can't wait to play it again
Meadowlarks' a lark
Club is simple, food is great and worth the cost. Range is adequate but the chipping and putting areas are equitable to what is encountered on the course.
Fairways and greens were well maintained. Rough wasn't horrible. The course was loaded with people and there were golf balls crossing fairways as slices and hooks deposited unwanted balls in our path. The pace was moderately slow. A fivesome with two on a cart, two with push carts, and one carrying the bag made their way around the course.
I will go back. Overall worth the cost and close to home.
OVERBOOKED
If you have a schedule and book a tee time to enjoy some golf don't go here. I arrived 10 minutes before my Tee time at 8am. After signing in and securing clubs I noticed about 20 people swarming around the first Tee. At 8:20 the starter announced 4 parties ahead of my group. I am frustrated with golf courses that can not book properly, this being the worst I have seen. If I book a tee time in advance, I expect to be able to get on the course and be playing within a maximum of 20 minutes from my scheduled time. A couple people in my party stayed and played but I left because the play time was going to be a minimum of 5 to 6 hours.
So slow
I left after 6 holes and after 2hours and 10 minutes. There were 5 groups waiting on the 7th hole when we arrived. If it had been any slower we would have had to move backwards. This was my 4th and slowest round at Meadowlark. Never saw a Marshall. Previously I have played behind 5 domes and thought that was the problem. I did not see any fivesomes on this round.
Great Day
I'll be Bock.I'll be Bock.I'll be Bock.
Greens were punched
Okay but not great. Bunkers just filled with new sand
Good short course
I enjoy playing this because of its size. It can be played in 3.5 hrs. Layout is nice with some holes have great undulations. Greens can be improved. The rough can be rough because the grass is too high. Hard to hit a good recovery shot. A few turtle back greens makes it challenging to get on. Overall I enjoy playing here.

I believe the unprofessionalism and ignorance of the management to ignore your concerns are proof enough for me to avoid this course and advise others to do the same. I hope the management addresses your concerns within the year.
