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.

Meadowlark GC
Slow front nine (6hr pace) but back nine was nice.
Slow. VERY Slow.
Having 5 somes is a bad idea. Having 5 somes at this kind of course where holes are all next to each other with a few back to back short holes, and you have the makings of a 5+ hour round. This is my new "hometown" course, as I just moved into the area, and while the value is good, it just becomes an ENTIRE afternoon of half golf and half looking at your phone due to the ridiculous wait times. Got a $19 to ride hot deal for 2:20p, got out at 235p, but after an hour only finished 3 holes. It took several parties ahead of us ditching the course for us to be the last group to finish at roughly 7:45p. Easily walkable and will probably do so next time.
Slow play
Slow play! 3 hours for 9 holes is ridiculous ! No marshals to control pace. Fivesomes & following a tournament was too much!
go play
Nice course to play a twilight round while riding. The course is straight. If you hit long drives u can definitely drive some of the par 4s. Good course to practice your golf game. Just read those greens and have fun.
Fun course if you don't want to spend the money & have all day.
Fun course to brush up your short game. Just make sure if your playing during the weekend you have all day to play! Speed of play is painfully slow, but what do you expect when you pay in the low end. You get what you pay for my friends.
All in all fun course & has some challenging holes here & there. Definately worth playing if its in your price range.
Fun
Fun course. Has the tendency to over book... thus the 5 hour round... the course is short, it should never take so long. Challenging greens on back side.
a very scary experience
I have never heard so many "fore" calls and balls hit into other fairways, out of control balls where you had to duck and cover on most holes. So many weekend "hackers" that could not control their balls and obviously did not know rules of etiquette either. They would hit balls in front of people trying to tee off with no regard to that fact that they were on the wrong fairway. So dangerous. The lady in front of us was hit in the shoulder and had to quit. My husband was almost hit twice! I never saw a Marshall on the course to help with these problems either. I also noticed a 5 some which should never happen on a very busy Sunday, and they were walking!!!! The cart girl was out of most beverages and seemed to never go back and stock up! I would not lay this course again on a weekend again!!
Meadowlark and the ducks
Great day on the course. Pace was quick and lots of ducks having fun. Very enjoyable day and great place to play in HB.
The lark
At barely 6,000 yards the larks teeth will show. Some elevation changes throughout the course make the tricky greens a challenge. Can be slow in the afternoons because of 5somes, but a great value by the coast.
they let 6-somes out
too many 5-somes and even saw a 6-some. played way slow!!
Meadowlark is sweet
Meadowlark's latest owners have been keeping this course is good shape. for a 10 handicap, you should be able to break 80 fairly easy. There are some challenges due to elevation, but if you play smart and pick your spots, you will be rewarded with a good final score at the end of the round. The folks are nice. Food is good too.
I would recommend playing here early mornings and late afternoons. The clubhouse is decent and plenty of space and seating to talk over the days round and plan the next.
Have fun. I would play this course again.
Slow round.
The course was in good condition. Doubt I'll ever play there on a weekend again. Play was painfully slow. It's cool they allow groups of five to play, but not sure the starter should be putting groups together to make groups of five. I'll have to try a week day to see if it's a better experience.
Good course but very slow play
Played on Sunday noon with a few friends - had an enjoyable round and the course was in good shape considering all of the rounds they host. Pace of play could be better - perhaps reduce/eliminate fivesomes on weekends? Good Bloody Mary's in the bar highly reccomended.
Love this course
The course is hilly and has water is some excellent strategic places. The greens are small and fast. Love playing here. Great challenge.
6 hours for 18 holes? YIKES!
Slowest round of golf ever. They were backed up when we got there. Had a 10:08 tee time but didn't get out until 10:45 and finished at 4:45. Slow play and no Marshal on the course. Okay it was president's day holiday, but if they are that busy then they need a better starter, some marshals or both.
Great Value. But.....
Course is way challenging. Greens are very tricky. And on the weekends get ready to play a 6 hour round! Only one group waved us up on a par three. We waited on every shot!! No pace of play and you can't get into any type of rhythm. This is the second time it's happened to us there, and honestly I'd rather play a course closer to me. It's slow to but half the drive.
Slow pace
Only problem is we for stick between a 5 sum that wouldn't save us up. Never seen a marshal there in 5 outings.
5hour, 15 min. round
Beautiful Thursday February afternoon. Course in pretty good shape, including the greens. However, the bunkers were mostly soaking wet. Practically impossible to blast out of them. 5 hours and 15. min. to play this 5600 yard course. Unbelievable! Not a marshall in sight to improve the pace. The 90 degree rule on many fairways and the 'use cart path only' rule on some holes costs us about 45 minutes.
Suggest using the 'waving up' rule on the par 3's.
First time out.
Looking forward to playing it again although it was slow.
WEEK DAY WONDER
This course is in good condition right now and the greens roll true and smooth. Accuracy is a bonus as many of the holes have narrow fairways with trees on both sides. There is water to contend with on a few holes that require stategy for the risk/reward benefits. The back 9 is the longer and more difficult of the course and has rolling hills and some elevated greens that are challenging.
