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.

BEWARE - NO MARSHALLS, SLOW PLAY, RUDE STAFF

We played at noon on a Thursday. When we arrived the starter in the pro shop told us to go to the tee WHENEVER we were ready. When we arrived there were 3 foursomes and 2 fivesomes all there deciding how to proceed. THATS RIGHT 24 PEOPLE INCLUDING US. Some were senior women that had a hard time hitting more than 100 yards and there were two senior walkers. After a 5hour 45 min round where we had to wait every shot, endure people crossing fairways and picking up our ball, and a golf cart so badly needing maintenance on the brakes we almost returned to exchange it. I stopped in the pro shop to have a word with the management, who on a prior similar experience, told us on January 1st 2015 new management would be making changes. To my dismay I was told if I did not like it GO PLAY AGUSTA. The young man working behind the counter had his friends hanging out in the pro shop and they were all RUDE. Additionally, if anyone playing there should be hit by a ball on the seventh green or eight tee you should lawyer up and sue, as the management has been warned about the disrepair of the netting defending those areas and the DANGER FROM THE DRIVING RANGE. Furthermore, balls are going into the intersection of Graham and Warner at an alarming rate, the city should intervene. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL THIS COURSE IS A WASTE OF MONEY AT ANY PRICE AND THEY ARE USALLY MORE THAN ELSEWHERE.

This course is slow play

I had a tee time at 12pm on Wednesday. Got there and was matched up with 3 other guys. If I wasn't there these guys would play 6 some. Course condition was bad and pace of play was super slow. Took 5 hrs for the round

Meadowlark

Fun short small 18 hole course. Played on a rainy day which made the course muddy. But overall conditions of the course were good. Rate of play was slow, as they do let 5-somes out. Had a great round of golf, would recommend to any golfer.

A Good Value

A solid place to play during the week, but really stacks up on weekends. Some challenging holes, and the greens are maintained better than most public courses. We enjoy playing Meadowlark and are glad to have it in the neighborhood.

Delayed Start Time = Incomplete Round

Although a weekday (Thursday) it played like a weekend being the day after Christmas. Naturally, most players were out trying their new golf-related Christmas presents. It was already a short-daylight situation due to winter. However, an hour-plus delay in the scheduled Tee Time (12:30pm) shortened it further [according to a fellow golfer, they clearly overbooked for the day]. Add in a very slow-pace of play (typical for this course) and 'voila', 14-holes and then...dark. I hadn't played the course in years (10??) due to my recollection of its slow-play tradition. It's a fairly nice layout. But, could probably use an extra Marshall or two to keep things rolling along.

Nice afternoon.

Only complaint is the same as always. Slow play. Also toward end of day. Hole hoppers that got in front of us on ten and played extremely slow. Killing our time to play back nine.

They really need to watch tht come 330-4pm.

Very slow pace. Overbooked golf course.

I played this course twice. The first time, I bought a voucher thru Groupgolfer. Booked a tee time in the summer months. Delayed tee time start because they didn't have carts. Took 5 hours to play 9 holes. I stop playing after the ninth. Second time was paying full price on 11/18/14 for a 12:20 tee time. My friend wanted to play this course so I gave in. Had to wait until they have carts available again. They know they have this issue but did not address it. Again, it took 5 hours to finish 10 holes and it was too dark to continue. Never playing this course again.

Enjoy playing this course a lot of variations in the holes, greens are rounded and hard to stay on with longer irons. I play there at least once a week it is very convenient to Huntington Beach.

First time

Friday 10 am Tee off.

Was fairly Easy. considering I have a 18 handicap. I came off the front nine with a 39. Lots of pars, and I was playing the Back tees, and my drive is only 220 yards after the roll. I consider it was the condition of the fairways. When the fairways have nice grass from one end to the other, I can actually hit the ball with some accuracy. Ended the round with an 84. Aahh almost forgot, the greens are very small targets coming in.. Good luck !!

Lucky Day

I had an itch to play and it rained which cleared the course out. I arrived at 1:40 and finished by 5:30. That NEVER happens at Meadowlark, especially on a Saturday. The course doesn't drain real well, and I was surprised to see a lot of standing water, which helped to explain how quiet the course was. I was very lucky to get out on one of my favorite little home town courses on a Saturday and a very reasonable rate.
