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
Disaster
Should not be on GolfNow. This course is undergoing renovations and significant construction . As A VIP please remove until course is playable.
You reputation is sullied and we lost a lovely afternoon because of our decision.
work in progress
geens are the highlight rolling well at medium fast to fast. fairways are mostly good a little thin in places but overall good lies.
Sh
Decent course and under upgrades but still needs some”attention to detail” to make it a really nice course. Great location and good price. Just waiting for the course to be complete
Wet Day on the Course
Course was wet from recent rains and started raining as we putted on the 18th. The course is coming along. Clubhouse is looking good! Still have not opened the new hole. Would recommend the course for the value...players need to understand course and facilities are under construction. Course needs to put in a bathroom on the back 9...only a portable right now and it's really gross.
Showed Up for Tee Time and They Weren’t Even Open
I booked a tee time on golf now with Shorecliffs and woke up fairly early to get there on time, since I live about an hour away.
It wasn’t even open. No one even called me to let me know they would be closed… and there were no emails or signs or anything that would otherwise tell me ahead of time that they would be closed.
Complete rip off
Dec 30 outing
For the price, a decent track. New club house under construction looks great
Course Under Construction
Shorecliffs course is under going major construction.
with lots of temporary tee boxes and greens. Hole 8 closed. No pro shop or restaurant/bar. Just temp trailers, construction equipment and limited parking. Should be much better in 6-12 months, Can I get discount or refund or redo in 2023?
Don’t let the open tee times fool you.
There is a reason this place is still always wide open, it’s not a even a golf course. This place is under so much construction, it almost feels like it shouldn’t be open. There isnt a club house or even a basic putting green. If you’re trying to lose 4 sleeves of balls and over pay $40 for $30 course, this your spot.
Lower your prices
Your prices are way to high. Arroyo trabuco you can get out for 70$ And Sam Clemente municipal you can get out for 40-60$ and the course is 100% times better. I’m sorry you should only be charging 40$ no more.
Nice and nique!
We have not played this course for while. Surprised found so many construction on parking lot, hard to locates entrance. Course layout is very unique nice, and fairway kind of narrow. We had great time , finished 180 holes less than 4.5 hours on weekend. If there are more clear marks on Some holes it will be much help.
We will be back for sure.
Great New Beginnings
Having played there a handful of times, it used to be a place for anyone looking for “cheap” golf (and you got what you payed for). The good news is they sold the range land for a seniors development and in return will have a great looking new clubhouse (almost complete), a new fleet of carts coming, back to the original course layout and numerous improvements throughout. If they don’t decide to “jack” the green fees (like every place else), it will be the best value in south OC. Thanks to Golf Now for the great Hot Deal rate!
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
