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
Joe the Marshall is Terrible
Joe the Marshall is terrible, pace of play on a Friday was EXTREMELY slow so we called the Marshall to see what was going on. The foursome in front of us was so slow that the group in front of them was 2 full
Holes ahead. We knew this was the case so we called the Marshall and he questioned OUR pace of play instead lol. We were moving quick, playing ready golf and this dude had the audacity to question us. Once he drove ahead and saw the almost 3 empty holes he came back and said we were right. But this clown should not have Marshall privileges, he should be washing carts.
work in progress
looks like a lot of construction which mostly affects the appearance but does not fully impact play. fairways are winter thin but still mostly ok lies. greens are firm and fairly quick a little more bumpy than usual but overall good for this time of year
Early early morning
They are trying to bring this place back. It will be a short fun course in a couple years.
Nice course for the $$$
I enjoy playing this course, always seems to be some morning availability. Tee boxes ae in rough condition. Not sure what happened, but when I asked if I could ride alone that charged me an extra $10. After the round I found out I was the only one who was charged....everyone else rode a single cart and was not charged.
Terrible Course
Course is awful! It has been under renovations seemingly for years and it’s in no better shape than when I played over 10 years ago. Not even worth the low green fees that they charge. Play somewhere else!
Gameplay
Definitely one of my go to courses around here in Southern California. Gives me a challenge every time I go there. Course is looking great. Love how they’ve kept it looking good.
Decent, but two closed holes
On the front nine there are two closed holes that make for a lot of extra cart time... I would not want to walk this course for this reason alone.
There were some slight rough patches on the fairway, but I thought it was fine. I didn’t have too much dirt in the way of the ball.
Decent sand in the sand traps and nice greens.
