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.

Lost putter cover
Never returned to lost and found... isn't that protocol... or just a bunch of dirtbags... really embarrassing for me because I kept raving to my father in law about Meadowlark... he's was quite bummed..
Meadowlark
This course sucked I play 4 to 5 time a week
And rotate 6/7 public courses there is nothing
Good about this course
bees
one bee stung back my kneck and another one stung the lady that was in our group. there got bea swarm somewhere on the trees.
Never Again
This was not the first time playing this course, but it will be my last. I go to this course because of convenience and price. Never Again.
A couple of months ago I played here, my tee time was moved from 9am to 11am because of a tournament. No apologies, no nothing. (Which I canceled, money refunded, and went to a movie) The couple of times playing this course was met with a late tee time (20-30 minutes) and very slow play.
Never Again.
Wear a hard hat!
The course itself was nice, but it's very tight. Any wayward hit is in the next fairway. I have never heard "Fore" so often or felt the need to constantly be ducking. On any given hole you weren't sure if the someone on the fairway ahead of you was with the group ahead or was just trying to get the ball back own their own hole.
It was also very slow. There was a backup at every hole, sometimes 3 groups deep.
Course conditions going downhill
I used to enjoy this course. Fun little course but the course conditions were pretty bad my last round. The putting greens were decent but the fairways were horrible. Bare spots and rock hard in some spots. Bunker sand quality is one of the worst I've played in. The way the course conditions are now, it's not worth $15 for 18 holes. I hope they put some work into their course. Not a bad course when it was better maintained.
Short but interesting course
Need to improve sand in bunker & too slow pace, must have a marshals
Great day for golf
The course was in nice shape considering drought in California. Greens were well cared for by staff. Unfortunately some players dont care enough to fix their divots. Holes were laid out well. Lots of uphill approach shots and undulating greens. Sand traps were not in good shape but overall I would definitely recommend this course.
OK shape considering water situation
Under 4 hour round on weekday. Course conditions variable but mostly OK. Many very short par 4s. Overall very nice day. Close to ocean so weather is cooler than inland courses. Short course ...so many beginners but didn't make round slow. Very inexpensive on Golfnow deal. Bunkers are very hard sand.
Slow but fun
Played very slow on the front nine. The marshal finally showed up and got everyone moving. Took over 5.5 hours to finish. The course is in good shape but the bunkers were rock hard.
Average experience as a Hotdeal
An average muni with greens that need improvement. Numerous putts were impeded by bumpy greens. The overall layout of the course was unimpressive. I'd say give it a shot if you can get a Hotdeal that works for you, but don't pay rack rate. Recommend any of the Long Beach courses over this one.
Meadowlark
Was grouped wit two gentlemen that I had previously played with thru the Golf now community.Course was in decent shape t to green was fine the greens were in good condition ang rolling fine.If you want a round in OC great price and great weather this is the course.Always a nice breeze.And a great value.
Pace of Play has Improved
The pace of play has greatly improved lately. This is a good course for our twosome considering one of us is a beginner and the other is advanced.
amazing day
Great weather, course was in good shape and fast pace during the week.
Great Speed of Play!
Great speed of play. We finished within 4 1/2 hours. I found the course to be one that you do not lose many balls, however, that being said, still challenging. Lots of uphill slopes and if you slice your ball, you can find trees in your path. A little muddy areas near a couple of the greens, however, very nice tee boxes, fairways in great shape and the greens in good shape. I found the greens the most troublesome part of my day. Lot of pins sitting on breaking slopes. I like the challenge of trying to improve my read. Staff was very pleasant and even checked to see if our speed of play was ok. The reviews on the food are right on... taste was great! I just need to figure out how I can pick up a hot dog a little quicker on the turn so as not to allow my fellow golfers to wait too long on me. My only critique would be that the bathrooms can be cleaner. They were not a disaster by any means, but they did need more maintenance.
I will be back with some other buddies. Good course. Hope my next visit will return with the same outcome.
Nice course
The staff was excellent. The course was in good condition but over watered in many areas creating unplayable situations and poor footing. Greens in great condition. Pin placement on a few holes were to close to front edge of the green & drop off penalizing a good short or chip to the green requiring a great shot inside 10 feet. Over all a good golf experience. Could use a few new mats on the range.
Friendly and fun golf course
This course is fun and challenging, staffs are very helpful and friendly. The green is kepted in excellent condition.
Typical for a Saturday at noon
Play was excruciatingly slow (5 1/2 hours) but I didn't expect anything less for the time and it being a weekend . Enjoyed the company in my foursome even though the pace was terrible.
HB local AJ Marinelli
I golf all over the place but I always enjoy my time at Meadowlark. It's real chill and the staff is cool too. Not cool golf guy a holes like some places. Best turkey sandwich from my main man Compadre.
Great Value
Course was not crowded. Finished the round in under 4 hours.
