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
It’s Getting There…
The course is undergoing major renovations that In time will result in a fun, interesting track. For now it’s wonky, with some holes closed and others halved into two. Machinery noise is seemingly everywhere on the course. Still, it is a good value considering the outrageous cost of green fees elsewhere. And the staff is as usual really friendly.
Ok local course, lots of construction
Lot of work being done. Perhaps will be a great course once done
Fun Course
Partially under construction. Configuration is a little bizarre because of it. But the fairways and greens are well maintained. Course is not long and fairly easy. A very good value for a pleasant afternoon of golf.
Course is being renovated but still worth the money.
I enjoyed the course alot. They are doing some major work to some of the holes. I played this course knowing there was renovations happening so it did not bother me at all. Looks like it's going to be even better when it's all done. The course was challenging with tighter fairways on some holes. A few elevated greens made it interesting. Greens were small but in good shape. Fairways were good as well I didn't hit off dirt once like my usual course I play. If you can handle work equipment, which doesn't bother me, then this course it definitely worth it. My brother and I had a great time there.
Good overall, especially while under major construction and with recent punching of greens.
Work in progress
Lot of construction/remodeling is happening.
However, most fairway and greens were in great condition.
Tee boxes were in temporary locations and they were just okay.
Overall I was impressed with what’s going down there and believe once remodel is completed, it will be a good course to play.
good local tract
course conditions are good while being a work in progress. Greens remain some of the better in the area; Fairwayas provided good lies overall.
The price is too high compared to the golf course.
It is an environment where I cannot enjoy golf. It was difficult to find the hole because it was under construction. I never want to go again.
Be patient
The course is still under construction, but getting better.
Cant wait for the new club house
Way overpriced, no amenities, chopped up course, played super slow.
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.
