Shorecliffs Golf Course wanders through the coastal canyons and valleys of San Clemente, heading towards the beautiful shoreline. Situated just steps from the ocean, the course enjoys cool ocean breezes and a temperate climate, which makes it a year-round haven for golfers. Its location also provides the golf course with plenty of scenic ocean views. The course features narrow fairways tightly lined with trees and small greens bordered by sand bunkers. The front nine is shorter and requires more accuracy than the longer, wider back nine. Shorecliffs opens with one of the trickiest par-5s in the area. This dogleg left hole features trouble both left and right. Although the layout does offer a fair challenge, players of all skill levels will feel comfortable taking on the golf course.

Lots of fun

This was a great course. It was my first time playing Shorecliffs but it won't be my last. Great staff and you can't beat the price for this type of experience.

Fun to play - some rough spots

Fun layout - tight front side and more open on back. Tee boxes and fairway have some rough spots, but greens are generally healthy and roll well. Not long, several holes have challenges in their layout.

Mid day round

Super slow. Starter had 2 twosomes in front of us on the back 9. 4:40 round of golf!

Conditions were just ok. Better keep it on the fairway.

Fun course

First time playing here and I loved it. For 50$ its a great deal around here. Carts were nice, came with waters, towels and a gps screen. Greens were good, fairways were okay. The pace of play was a little slow, but for 50$ you can’t complain. Will definitely come back!

Good Course for the money

Good course overall. Like the chipping area and putting green to get warmed up. They have a simulator inside if you need to swing a few before your tee time. Restaurant and bar area are nice and upscale. Wish they would start opening up their longer tee boxes, then would be even better.

Lots of fun - tight fairways.

This is a tough par 70. Very tight fairways. Really makes you concentrate on accuracy. Course winds through the valleys near the ocean.
