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.

Golfer Reviews
Tremendous Improvement
This has been a "second rate", but therefore appropriately cheap, course for decades. However, the upgrade work on the seaward 9 is finally completed and is fabulous. I look forward to the new clubhouse, etc. Definitely a better and more satisfying experience!
Not bad. Love the improvements
I hadn’t played here in probably 10 years. They have made great improvements to the course! Course as a whole was in good condition and pace of play was not bad. My wife played with me and her only complaint was there are no bathrooms except for porta-johns.
After 2 years of remodeling finally in great shape
The course was a construction ground for more than 2 years but finally the have reopened it. Layout is great, some holes are a real challenge. Loved the greens.
What a new face!
Love this unique course, construction is almost down, course is in great shape, new pro shop looks very nice!
Still over priced
The whole course isn’t even open but they’re charging premium rates? At least knock of $10 like normal courses when theyre doing construction or post aerated. I get that this course is doing a lot of work, but they shouldn’t be taking advantage of their golfers. No reason they shouldn’t be booking out their tee times everyday, clearly over priced dog track.
This course is under construction and is a little wonky at the moment. May be be better in the future.
Great value
They have undergone a true course and amenities change. I really enjoy the staff friendliness. The course is way better than it was in the past. If you played here in the past and were disappointed with your experience, I would try it again.
Pleasantly Surprised
A lot better than it was a year ago, they've made massive improvements. The course was in great condition and the pace of play was good. Years ago I used to only golf here as a last resort, but now I'll be adding it to my rotation.
Great people! Great local course
Super cool staff, great layout. Can't wait till they're done with the back side. The grass and the greens are so much better than a few years ago. Lots of improvements, highly recommend
Poor customer experience concern by management
We only finished 10 holes in 3 hours. Left the coarse because the back 9 was more backed up than the front. Called office after leaving due to time restraint, manager was “shocked” to hear my experience and there was nothing that she could do. No partial refund or option to come back later to play back nine. 🤮
Shorecliffs Big Changes
Really enjoyed my round. Haven't played there for a few months, last time around it wasn't a very fun, this time around however much much better. Thing is the course is a few weeks away from the changes that have been years in the making. Once they get the permission to open the new Canyon Hole the course will be flipping the front and back nines around. This should make for a very different experience. As it was, the greens were in great shape and the fairways were pristine. I have a time scheduled for 4/9 and am looking forward to the round.
Great for 💰
Course is in great shape. I've been playing here on and off since e 2009 and this is best I've seen it. Looking so forward to them opening Canyon Hole and flipping front and back nines. It will make the course that much more enjoyable.
