Shorecliffs Golf Club
About
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.

would have had a better score of it wasn't for the first two holes Photo submitted by champ471 on 06/17/2014
Great future for this course
While this course is not really highly rated by me it's because they are in the final stages of a major renovation and improvement of the facilities. I've played here over the years, and it's always been an ok venue but within the next 6 months it will be a great facility. They are in the process of building a new very nice clubhouse with great outdoor amenities, the routing of the course is being changed, and they are improving a couple of the holes. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and I look forward to playing a lot in the future.
Course is Looking good!
The course looks better each time we come. Looking forward to the opening of the clubhouse! Very good value...fairways is a little soggy still...hoping they solve the drainage issues!
Good potential but lots of construction still
No driving range or practice greens. This course will be solid once construction is wrapped. Good value considering.
improving
continuming work in progress with some complted projects and many underway. fairways a litrtle thin due to tome of year. greens mostly good with some areas
Under Cobstruction
The holes that weren't being changed were in lovely condition. But there was no practice green and no place to warm up. There was signage to the holes but the changes kept messing up our GPS so it was quite distracting. Prices should have been discounted to reflect the conditions.
There working on it
There is a lot of construction going on right now. Only 17 holes available. Course is in fair condition. Played on golf now hot deal which was $45. That was a lot for the condition of the course. Would never pay there course rate which was around $50. It maybe a course worth that much someday but not now. Pace of play was slow because there was not starter so twosomes did not get hooked together and there was one twosome that held up the whole course. The marshal was a real nice guy but didn’t help move the slow twosome along.
Getting Better
The course conditions are still in the process of improving. First you need to realize that this course has been in less than average conditions for years. So it's nice to see that the new management group is committed to making the course and off course amenities first class. With that in mind play and have a good time, we did!
There working on it!
Haven’t played since course redesign started. There is only 17 holes available, a lot of par 3’s. The course is par 67. There is a lot of construction going on and some holes closed. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was a little slow. No starter so a lot of 2 some’s that should have been 4-some’s. I would play elsewhere until redesign is done. Not worth the near $50 to play.
Under the construction so much noisy and bad Teebox and fairway green everything horrible
Where does all the money go??
Im blown away that almost nothing has been done in the span of 3 years. This course has been “under renovation” for years and NOTHING has been done, except 1 hole being re-opened. The course still plays under 5500 yards and no more than a par 65. Such a joke paying over $30 for this dog track
Scary
The renovations mean nothing for the price of this golf course. You can’t warm up, you can’t putt. This course is worth no more than 30$ for a round.
Pretty Bad
Course is under massive construction but I don't think even when it is all complete that this will be a nice course. Tiny fairways and greens, greens were rough, tee boxes were trash, overall just really bad.
Keeps on getting better and better
The staff is excellent and the condition of the golf course keeps on getting better and better. This is a really a fun course to play.
under construction since forever
Staff was very friendly and they have taco truck onsite - That's where all good things ended,
parking on main street m Slow round , construction everywhere(heard that its been going on for 3 years), Tees not maintained. confusing layout and greens not in good conditions.
