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.

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.
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.
Hit by ball
I enjoyed my round very much course was in excellent condition food was delicious hey soul play was was average The greens were recovering from being punched The greens were recovering from being punched but we're still in good condition I recommend playing the scores get a chance on all a very good day
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.
Friendly staff.
Interesting layout. Fun to play. Starter did a great job getting us out early and pace of play good at 4 1/2 hrs.
Nice
Things were moving quicker then usual which is great.
Coach Todd
Tougher than the yardage would indicate (5600) yards. Alot of ups and downs. Greens have alot of nuances
First Time
Course was ok but the pace of play was terrible. Need to work on spreading tee times out better.
Fun course
We got out at 11:15 and finished by 3:15! Great pace of play. Course was in great condition. Good value.
the course has good challenge sand traps and water
the course is getting better each week we play.like to see geens a little smoother always enjoy playing their
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.
great greens
I have played this course a few times and have been underwelmed with the greens, however, they are in great shape now. Best deal around.
