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
In a state of flux
Had a good day on the course with my neighbor in super weather. This course in its day was one of the best test of "GOLF" in orange county, so much that many thought it to be too hard. Currently the course is being remodeled/improved etc with several of its most challenging holes divided into two less challenging holes, etc. Still interesting to play and with the new water holes will be scenic as well as a nice place to play golf. Most impressive note on this day is that the course now offers Golf carts with plastic dividers between driver and passenger; which during this current time of covid is a very welcome addition. I commend the management and all its employees for taking this pandemic serious and providing a safer environment in which to play!!
GET WORK FINISHED ON COURSE
In over two years, no improvement of total course repairs done.Just moving from one mess to another. close course and do all repairs at once, then reopen!
Course in full renovation
The course is in terrible shape at the moment, some holes are closed, others have poor fairways and they squeezed extra holes in it, e.g. making out of one par 5 a par 4 and a par 3. The back nine are closed. So go only to sShorecliffs if you look for a cheap alternative to hit some balls on the range, at least until the complete remodel is done. The staff is on the other hand very friendly and the clubhouse has some good old days charme.
Poor conditions
Greens are in flux with some par 5's converted to par 3's during their 4 plus year renovation. It's going to take another 2-3 years if residents can stop suing other residents and the city, Greens are small with a lot of uneven or steep slopes that make an already narrow course even more challenging. You get penalized for good shots in the greens that most courses don't do.

Four holes destroyed
Golfnow really needs to inform users when golf courses are in poor condition. In this course, major construction is in progress. 4 holes have been destroyed. 3 others have been compromised (cut in half). Only 17 total are available for play. GPS is useless. Miserable experience!

Bad shspe
This course had been under renovation for years. It is much shorter now with 6 makeshift par 3s on the front nine. There is a lot of potential with this course but not playable now.
