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
Very unique
There’s a lot of construction going on but that did not interfere with playing. Beautiful and fun but bring your A-game some holes are very challenging with incline/decline narrow fairways. Traveling from one hole to the next hole thru tunnels and crossing streets was very a unique experience and added to my overall enjoyment of playing this golf course. I will definitely be back!!
This course is always fun to play. The staff are outstanding and the conditions were good. The pace of play was 4.5 hours..
Charging country club prices for this course?
I dont get how they charged $63 for this course. Not even close to 6000 yards with the hole closures and barely plays a par 67. Dont get fooled by the 3 year old numbers. The prices almost seem like a joke, especially with all the construction, and to top it off, there’s no putting greens or practice range. Worth more like $35 on a saturday morning
It is under construction.
The course is under construction or renovation at large scale. It is currently total par 67 course, not 72.
Lots of fun
Course was in great condition despite the construction!
Lots of construction (new clubhouse) so that wiped
out the first and second hole and 4 and 5 are being rebuilt. So I felt like 54 dollars was a bit much. But the greens are beautiful and the fairways have good grass on them so it was enjoyable.. It will be great when they finish everything, late this year.
Teleurstellend
Ze zijn holes aan het renoveren , overal obstakels , 4 holes lagen eruit , dus uiteindelijk 14 holes gespeeld , de omgeving, groen voorziening , tunnels zien er wel goed uit , ga hier voorlopig niet meer spelen
Good Value
Took my daughter out for a 9 holes practice. It's my second time playing in this course. Staffs are friendly and very decent price for a 9-holes on Wed, I paid 25 and my daughter (14 yrs old) paid 14. Started from hole#9, so we actually got 10 holes instead of 9.
The course is interesting, got 2 fairly difficult par 3 holes, 1 short par 4 and 2 narrow par4/5.
On Wed it's not too busy so we're not being rush.
No amenities as this course is under major renovation.
Overall very good value for money.
excellent and friendly people
everyone is great and super friendly. did the best with what they have at moment. the ditch has always been a favorite because if u can score there u can score anywhere. All employees were smiling and waving. cart girl was excellent. green keepers were chill and friendly. Security was great and remembered me from a month prior. There was a torrential rain that flooded the tunnel and he led me to safety. The starter shared etiquette and goodwill. The cart help was epic. I left an expensive cell phone in the cart during the storm and was pleasantly surprised it was found. the marshall showed extreme calmness and shared much love and story. the pro at check in was professional and courteous. the management was superb and gave me a rain check to my delight. i give them a 6 out of 5 stars and definitely am stoked on my game and experience. truely a gem and one of the best rounds around. thank u for the great memories Michael P.
Fair value for the course but you can’t beat San Clemente weather
Overall, pretty decent course minus the construction work going on. Greens were inconsistent by hole but had a good time golfing under the partly cloudy sky with beach breezes blowing through. It should really be only $40 considering the construction work though..
My favorite course to play
Beautiful course and relaxing place to play a round of golf. Staff if great and the work they have put in on the course this past year is amazing.
