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.

Golfer Reviews
Short but fun course
Enjoyable course with changes in elevation and small and contoured greens.
Not long, but definitely not easy.
Meadowlark is fun little test of golf. The course is only about 5500 yds. but the greens are challenging & usually in good shape. it would be nice if people fixed ball marks, but that's an issue everywhere!
It gets slow sometimes and there are no marshalls to keep up the pace but overall I enjoy a round here. If you get in some of the thick stuff around the small crowned greens, you might be looking at a double, so practice your chipping before playing here.
Staff is always friendly and the beer is always cold.
Fun round.
Very friendly staff, got us early by 45 Min. A very good day of golf for a good price. Jim
Worst Golf Experience ever
Tee Time Scheduled through Golf Now: 12:26pm
Actual Tee Time: 1:30pm
It took 4 hours to play the front 9. On the 10th we had a threesome with a young kid cut in front of us. We complained to them, nothing happened. We called the front desk. They said they would take care of it, nothing happened.
Started at 1:30pm, left a little before 7pm.
This place is an absolute circus and you can tell there is no management in place, or that knows how to run a business. This was the last time I will play at this joke of an establishment.
Fun day of golfing...
We had a fivesome on a sunday. The course conditions were nice. The fairways we're excellent. The tee boxes were good and the greens rolled true. It was a little cooler since it's near the beach. Good place to play...
Slow, slow, slow
Only play during the weekday. The course is too slow on the weekend given the tough par 3's and short par 4's where people wait to hit.
Meadowlark
I've played Meadowlark many times over the years, so the course layout and difficulty did not surprise me. What did surprise me was the extremely wet conditions. Mind you, it was summer, warm and dry elsewhere.
There were quite a few muddy spots on the course that hampered play. The tenth hole was cart path only, something I had never experienced before on this course.
The other thing that bothered me, and my playing partner, was a lack of yardage markers. There is no GPS on the carts so we had to depend on the course markers. Many simply no longer existed. Many others were damaged.
There were seemingly new flags at each hole, but they were checkered using black and blue, yellow, and I think, red. Problem was, from a distance, it was difficult to see the flag, especially the flags in shadows.
I do not think I will play Meadowlark for some time since there are other courses with better conditions, that cost less. It is a shame because Meadowlark is located in Huntington Beach, which is cooler on hot days, like right now.
good coarse
There are some wet spots but not really an issue. Tee times need to be spaced appropriately to players ability and group size. Overall a great coarse. Only saw food and beverage cart once in 4 hours.
take it to Vegas!
Pace was fine through nine. But a 20 min wait between holes after the turn.We found out there was a large bachelor party group in front of us. You could follow their trail of empty beer cans. We didn't see any Marshal.
different layout
The course was in fair condition; a lot of wet areas. Greens were small and fast but fair.
Great inexpensive course
This is a great course without breaking the bank. It plays reasonably well for lefties (especially given my slice) and has good fairways/greens. There isn't much separating the holes so you do have to keep your head on a swivel sometimes. The nice part about that is you won't lose many balls.
Overall I like playing this course. Pace can be slow sometimes but it isn't unbearable.
very slow play! 5hrs played 9 holes!
Game play is very slow! I counted 6 players paired up playing together....took them forever to finish one hole! Very crowded! We couldnt play thru because there were way to many people on the course! We were screwed and ended up playing 9 holes in 5hrs! Yes almost 5 hours! Never again will i go there, i wish i could get a refund or a free round of golf for this inconvenience! Play at your own risk or if you have a complete day to spend at the course
Old style course
The tee boxes were slanted and the greens very small . The greens themselves were at least green, but if you do not find the flag, forget about it. Pace was alright, but it was a Tuesday afternoon and it should be a good pace. Fun if you no other than to play golf in the sun, which is never a bad thing,
Medowlark
Grest course!! Awesome weather! ! Reasonable prices, look for hot deals!!
Sunday outing
We decided friends and I to play at the last minute, so for last decision it was a good place to play , greens we re and good condition, the pace of play no bad, good times!
Very friendly patrons
Had a great with an 84 year man named frank. Bartender was on point
Sooooo slow
Hard to play when there is a wait at every hole. Quit playing golf years ago because of slow play and this was a reminder.
