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.

Keep it straight
Not as easy as it looks
Ball placement is important
Keep it in the fairway, the trees are very big and mature.
Very enjoyable
Poor fairway
I found so many bare fairways without any white removable area mark
I am confused whether I could replace the ball or not
Fun couse, but slow playing
I love this course. It's short, but challenging. Need to hit accurate shots to stay out of the strategically placed water. Don't want to be in the trees either.
We played on a Friday...midday. The course was packed and played very slow. At least 2 groups on every tee box. Slightly over 5 hours start to finish. Also, call the pro shop and check the rates. Online pricing was no deal. With fees we actually paid a little more than the rack rate.
Family Friendly
I really enjoy the course. It requires golf shots not just mashing the ball. Family friendly and suitable for beginners. Played with son and his friend. Both shot 100(give or take) yet we were able to have a good time. I noticed other groups with young golfers and beginners. Greens are in good shape and always present a challenge. Fairly quick with slopes.
Meadowlark is a good challenge
This course challenges a golfer with greens that boggle the mind. Be prepared for a great day .. Make sure you get on the green because the grass rough is like fly paper
Still a fun course and challenging greens
I live in HB,,, the fairways are in ok condition a couple of dirt patches though.. Greens in good condition .. Pace of play was a bit slow but it was Saturday .. Green fees were very reasonable ... Overall I played this course many times and would recommend it to my friends for a fun round plus u get that nice ocean breeze
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..

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.
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.
