Meadowlark Golf Club

About this course
Meadowlark Golf Club, a local Huntington Beach institution, offers a classic, accessible golfing experience steeped in California sunshine. This traditional, largely flat, parkland-style course favors a strategic approach; its tree-lined fairways reward thoughtful placement more than raw power. The design, originally conceived in the mid-century era, offers a welcoming layout for golfers of all skill levels. Its approachable design offers a welcome respite from the more demanding, championship-caliber courses found throughout Southern California. While not a venue for major championships, Meadowlark has served as a beloved community hub for generations of Huntington Beach golfers. Known for its unpretentious atmosphere and commitment to accessible golf, the club fostered a friendly rivalry among local leagues and weekend warriors. Beyond the course, Meadowlark is legendary for its post-round camaraderie. Many a round has been celebrated (or lamented) over plates of their famous fish and chips, a local delicacy almost as hallowed as a birdie on the 18th.

Getting there
Meadowlark Golf Club is most easily reached via Long Beach Airport (LGB), a mere twenty minutes south, or alternatively through the larger Los Angeles International (LAX), roughly forty-five minutes north - both gateways to Orange County's coastal corridor. Private aviation clients benefit from proximity to Huntington Beach Airport (HNT), a compact facility just minutes from the club's gates, offering the discretion and convenience befitting an exclusive membership. From either commercial hub, the drive traces a gentle descent through suburban Orange County before the landscape opens onto the Pacific flatlands, where the salt-tinged air and the soft rumble of the Pacific serve as harbingers of arrival at Meadowlark Golf Club, nestled in one of Southern California's most coveted coastal enclaves.
