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
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.
Course is in terrable condition
Do not believe any of the pictures you see on the website. I understand the construction but this course is in terrible condition from the tee box to the greens. I would not waste my money on this course again. 65$ for this course is a joke
Staff stole sunglasses
A staff member stole a pair of hideous sunglasses. They were so ugly, that’s why they weren’t returned to the lost and found.
After I bought drinks & tipped decent. Pretty disappointing.
Sucks
Course is terrible. Tee boxes some goo Some bad. Greens are rough and inconsistent. Was very disappointed.
Renovations have lasted years
Everytime you ask when the constructions going to be done they dont even know themselves at this point. There is still no bathroom, food/drinks, putting green, or driving range. And the parking is very limited and fairways look like bowling alleys, but hey, only tee time available right? I wouldn’t play this course again unless the price gets cut in half. Not only is the course trash, but the last 2 times ive played ive had kids cut in front of me multiple times throughout the course. I get it, play some extra holes to make up for the par 54 course for $55, guess this course just isnt for me.
Needs everything
The course layout was confusing, snaking between houses whiteout clear directions to the next tee box. Not 1 tee box was close to being level. I understand they’re doing a total remodel of their facilities, but it’s not going to be enough to ever bring me to return. I do wish them the best of luck.
Shore Cliffs Review
Worse golf course I’ve ever played. Poor tee boxes , terrible greens and directions to holes very confusing. I’d love my money back but I did play it.
