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.

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.

WAY TOO SLOW

I've played Meadowlark many times, although it usually plays slow at around 5 hours this round was exceptionally slow, over 6 hours. My friends left after 10 holes. Then I joined the 3-some ahead of me and 2 of them left after 13th hole. People leaving in the middle of a round because it's so slow is not a good thing. On the 7th tee there were 6 groups waiting and it took about 45 minutes waiting on that tee alone. Many people say that Meadowlark over books and they won't play there. I'm thinking they are right and I would really have to think hard before I play there again soon. Over 6 hours is WAY to long

Excellent course

Overall I thorougly enjoyed playing this course. I have a handicap of roughly 18 and feel that this course had the right amount of difficulty as well as playability for a wide variety of golfers. Holes all have interesting features from steep slopes down the fairways to a good amount of water hazards as well as bunkers. Grounds are in great condition. Only negative thing that isn't too big of a deal breaker is the shape of the greens. The shapes are all turtle back/ domes.

Tough for short course

Small greens with tough reading and shots to green. Even being short must play course for shot making. Water, small greens, trees and traps.

very slow pace

Tee time was 12:26pm, we didn't start playing till 12:50 and finished at 6pm. This was a joke we had foursome that were in front of us playing like it's the PGA. We didn't see any ambassador to help move the pace of the game we had groups crossing thru when teeing off. This place has gone done and the price not even worth it...

If you must play...

Choose another course! It shouldn't be too hard to find a Marshall to ask people to keep up the pace of play. People will just cut in front and hit 3 or 4 balls, as if it's a practice facility. Staff might as well work at a fast food restaurant...

Hard hats required

None of our group will play here again without a hard hat. Range balls were flying at us on 3 holes. We even skipped the tee box on one hole to avoid being hit.

Golf on Monday

It would have been good to have a Marshall. They let a fivesome go out in front of us therefore it turned out to be a six hour round. We could not finish.

Teeing up in the Long Beach area

Very nice course and laid out well for the yardage. The round was slow but I played on a Saturday afternoon which is understandable. Lots of undulation, so riding is optimal unless your looking for a workout to go with your round of golf. Good luck out there.
