Shorecliffs Golf Club

The layout here is funky now but will work when construction is completed.

It's been about 2 years since I visited this goat track. Since then, they've torn down the range and sold the land to build senior housing and have used the money to invest in the course. Color me impressed with all the improvement they've done. The fairways have nice coverage, most of the greens were in excellent condition. The tee boxes need the most work. The layout is a little funky and some holes are way harder than they should be. Fairways are very narrow and this course favors accuracy over distance. Lots of landscaping has been done to make it prettier than it was. Last time I played here I said "never again!"...This time I said "can't wait to do it again!"

Be prepared that this isn't the old Shorecliffs. The course is under a major upgrade so your GPS watch may not sync with the righty hole. They do have new carts finally. The staff are new and are eager to help. They mean it when they say you will be taken off the course if you bring in alcohol. They Marshall's are helpful with course navigation and pace of play. Take plenty of balls and be prepared to lose them. We played there twice in the past two weeks so this is my observation over those two times-just sayin..

It's amazing they've been working on this course for years now doesn't seem like they're making any progress

We always love Shorecliffs Golf course. Perfect weather close to the beach with some awesome views! There's a bit of construction going on now but it's a great course at a very affordable price.

Course is getting better and better with improvements on various holes.

My son played here during high school with his golf team. It was kind of a goat ranch but it was cheap. They are really making great changes here. A new clubhouse will be finished in December 2022. New holes will be open soon. The layout will be much better when complete. The food truck serving food is an awesome value. The drinks are cold and inexpensive. The staff is always accommodating. Oh and new carts coming soon. The course is in good shape, the greens are good and receptive. The new water features are good and attract wildlife. It’s a fun place to play.

I am the type of player that cannot walk up to course and play without practicing first. it just does not work for me. driving range putting green etc. I think the future looks good except for that ugly buliding right in front of you, and only a couple of nets to practice? I have been play this course since 1964 when I was a junior member. I wish you well.

Do yourself a favor and look at the reviews. If you don’t want to be harassed, searched, controlled and or disrespected, avoid this place. One person in our group brought one beer, one beer in his golf bag. So sorry! The man who said he was the GM scolded him aggressively and literally asked him to read the literature on the golf cart out loud, which his request was denied. Who asks that? The GM then came to my cart and grabbed my energy drink out of my cup holder. Stating I was breaking the rules and it wasn’t allowed. As he then realized it was an energy drink, he was so kind to return it to me. We apologized, moved on and let it go. All to only be watched and hovered over by another employee with his fancy Walkie-talkie next hole. Clearly assigned to us by the GM. The employee literally watched us play a full par 4, standing within 65ft at every step. He then came over to my cart and grabbed my energy drink!! This is now the second time, two different staff. Not realizing it’s just an energy drink he was so kind to let me have it back, again. Get a grip GM! Pathetic. So many other options to play in OC. We will see how far your poor service and disrespectful manners get you. It’s almost laughable. The course was in poor condition as well. Sad.

Used to play this course all the time. New ownership has made this place unbearable. Be prepared to have your bags searched and your group harassed by the marshals and nosey cart girl. Honestly felt like we were golfing at a prison! Oh and the course is an absolute dog track, same construction going on since 2016!

I'll come back after all the construction is finished .

Used to be a fun place to golf. My high school group and I like to play there 3-4 times a year. This morning (Sat 6/11) after checking in and paying an employee asked if we had any outside alcohol in our coolers. We said no. They asked to inspect our coolers. Our friends ahead of us said ok and they tried to confiscate their five beers. They agreed to take their alcohol back to the car. They asked to inspect my cooler and I politely said no.

At the second tee box a guy with a walkie -talkie came up on us and confronted us. He said we was going to have security take us off the course. He said he wasn't going to tolerate golfers mistreating his employees. I told him (he said he was the General Manager) that I was very polite when I didn't give permission to search my cooler.

He took a step toward me and took his sunglasses off (oh no!) and said he wasn't going to allow people to break the rules of the golf course and being in outside alcohol. I explained that I bought five shots of Fireball last time for $40 and was drinking those and could show him the receipt on my phone. After acting like a tough guy we parted ways.

There are 30 other public golf courses in Orange County. Don't play Shorecliffs. You won't be treated with the respect you
