Nice 1/2 Round

I have played Meadowlark a few times and I like the course. However, the pace of play on a Saturday is so slow that a round of golf is simply not enjoyable. There is simply not enough time between foursomes in order to avoid really long wait times on every hole. Three hours to play 9 holes is absurd. We paid for 18 holes but couldn’t justify over 6 hours on the course plus our commute time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 3-Star rating. Unfortunately our course does not have drainage built in which leaves some wet conditions at times. We do our best to adjust our watering to ensure we are only adding necessary water to areas. Come play a round in the afternoon or during the summer to see a drier side of Meadowlark.

Course is in great shape, other than a few wet spots. Good green conditions. Tee boxes need leveling.
We'll definitely be back.

My favorite OC MUNI

5 star rating, my five star rating is based on the following:

Course conditions: course conditions are great, this course plays like a true muni should. Pace of play is most always 4 hours, however we know how all courses get in the late afternoons. The value is outstanding, the course has a great online reservation system and if I’ve ever had a tee time question the pro shop always answers.

Proshop & Staff: there is a gentleman by the name of Jordan, this guy is fun, he’s outgoing, nice and from the sounds of things with the other employees promotes a good culture. The cart girl starts around 9ish so sometimes that’s rough if you have a early early time, but the snack shop always gets it done for those occasions. The proshop is surprisingly stocked and stocked well… I’m talking big name brands, great finds, and good prices. For example I found a TaylorMade hat on-site that I didn’t want to buy online and couldn’t find at local stores, pretty cool to not have a hefty price tag at a course retail shop.

Course amenities: nice driving range, perfect for the pre round warmup, there is a nice putting green with decent slope and true course speed, this helps get things dialed in. The restaurant and bar has fantastic food and i challenge you to find a better bar atmosphere at a golf course, and everyone is respectful and welcoming.

My bottom line: you really feel the city of Huntington Beach at this course, laid back atmospheres, beautiful beach weather and amazing prices from snack shop to proshop to tee times.

When I go to book a Teetime the “Lark” is the first I consider

Meadowlark is always a staple in our rotation of courses we play. You really can’t go wrong with a friendly and accommodating staff, and an amazing course for the price in the area! Cart included! If it’s open, book it and have fun! Even if you’re solo, you always get paired with good people

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear the pace picked up for you on the back-9, that's usually how we see the pace run at our course. A little slower on the front and faster on the back. See you out on the course again soon I hope!
