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
Good greens
First off the girl at the desk was very friendly. I was a single and she said go out with any foursome you want when your ready. So I went right out. They seeded areas of the course and the whole course was over watered. The fairways were soaked with puddles. So it was cart path only. The pace of play was very slow with no ranger in sight. The only plus were the greens were in great shape.
Cheap round? Call first to find out why!
We grabbed $25 rounds for Fri., 11/8. Usually we enjoy this course, but it was 100% cart path only, soaking wet and full of huge puddles and mud and the delightful manure smell..that's right...course was over seeded !
Bleh. Smelled awful all day long, clothes were mud splattered and it was slow because of cart path only.
Buyer beware.
Nice Course, too slow of play
The tee times were too close together for this course. The course is pretty easy so pace of play should be quicker. It doesn't take long for this course to get backed up. It did have some nice features such as extra putting greens around tee boxes. This helps to keep one occupied while waiting to tee off.
eat before you go!
Snack bar-food was more exspensive than the a round of golf for 2! bring your own food or don't eat!
They try to keep-up course. Avg. condition considering thousands of players a week.
Good 19th. hole & staff. Don't quite need a hardhat yet to play. But lots of stray balls flying around. With hole running so close to each other. No SENIOR rate unless you buy a card. [bummer]
Great Course
the course was maintained well. Fast play with players that know how to play!
Course is Great
Only thing is that they cannot let random walk on's go in anytime, and also needs to let people out in certain time frames, cause it gets to blocked up. 2 of us, and it took over 4+ hours.
but it has a nice design, but needs to be a little more upkeep.
Inconsistent pace of play
Have played here several times in the past few months. Pace of play has veried significantly from 4 hours to 5 1/2 to finish a round. course is pretty well maintained, greens were good for the most part. I beliee it is a little pricey but if you pay attention, there are good deals out there to play the course.
Good practice course
Course is definitely in need of a Ranger....Hackers were driving golf carts onto tee boxes and within 5-10 feet of the greens. Also, if you don't mind fivesomes. Course is good for practice on weekday.
takes a while to play
they were punching the greens while we were playing, slowing down the pace of play even more
if I would have known they were punching the greens I would have picked another course until the grass grows back in
Mis-managed Tee Times
Be careful with Meadowlark, they use GolfNow as a method to cover potential no shows. Granted, I reserved my 9:31 am tee time at 8:00 am of the same day. However, I still heard another 9:30 tee time checking in behind me. So, we ended up as a 5-some. So, needless to say we quit after 14 holes. It took us 1.5 hours to play the first 4 holes. :(
Nice Course
This was a good course, but the pace of play set up back for the day. We started 30 minutes after our initial tee time even though we arrived 30 minutes early as we were instructed. Up until the 13th-14th tee we waited to tee off at every single hole. Would have been more enjoyable if we could have finished within 4.5 hours, but were golfing for over 5.5 hours...
The course had some challenging holes.
Course is fun and challellenging, with some greens witn concave feel, forcing you to use your high degree wedges to keep the ball from rolling off.
Good
although relative short in terms of yardage, There are some holes that are quite challenging. #7 is just intimidating, #9 due to its length and uphill to the green is a very difficult par 4,
#18 is always into the wind, #12-the green is on a crown and it is difficult to get the ball to settle on the green.
So, I think the course is quite challenging for a 22 index.
I like this course , the bar and food is good as well, great to watch some football before or after your round.
I enjoy this course, for my level of play it is a lot of fun. The problem I have with this course is drainage issues. On almost every he there is one or multiple spots where water gathers and you get a muddy mess. More then once I thought I lost a ball only to find it dug in the mudd. I like this course and the people , I hope this problem get corrected soon. I will say the greens were in great shape but whoever is choosing the hole locations must be scottish!!
I really like this course and hope to see it in better shape soon.
Playable and challenging
Tee times are never on time. Exaample., The last two times we have played this course we did not get out until 45 min. After our scheduled times. This last round we had two five somes in front of us and no marshals to help keep pace, as a result very slow play.
Course has great features
The course is a bit challenging and having hills and ponds and trees helps you forget your other problems. Greens are good! The management of the course is the problem. Over booking, no marshall or course attendant to keep the people from having a party at every hole. Sending out groups of 5 really slows it down.
