Shorecliffs Golf Club

The course is challenging, to many split holes, greens in good shape, tee boxes need some grass. Other than that a good day golfing . the new owners have made and are making great changes in upgrading the course, in time it will be very nice in the future.

So I have played this course numerous times over the year and while it has been under construction. Having said that let me start. I had the first Tee Time on Memorial Day 5/31/2021 being the first group off of the Tee's at 6am as a 2some. I found that the fairways were way over watered, although beautiful and in remarkably good shape for a Southern California course, not hard and runny like many. Still very, very wet. My friend and I were moving along at a nice clip through 8 then we go under the tunnel and bam we hit 9 and there is a 2 some in the middle of the fairway who had just tee'd off. I asked them why they were on 9 when they paid for back nine only. Anyway, after a very lengthy wait for them (older gentleman who didn't hit very far, hats off to them for being out), my friend and I hit and completed the hole rather quickly as we both pared the hole. Then bam we hit 10, there is a 2 some on the green, and a 4 some on the tee waiting to hit, and the elderly 2 some who immediately said you guys play faster please go ahead. The group on the box was hitting so we figured ok we will ask them to play through at next tee.. When we got to 11 we asked if we could play through them because the group ahead of them was well out and this group was not hitting well, we were met with we can't go ahead they had the cart path blocked as it was a par 3. Anyway to bring this to a conclusion this course is run like Amateur's, even though it has been around for years. First off, players who pay for back 9 actually get to play 10 because there is no starter there to corridinate players, in fact there wasn't on on 1 either. Secondly when I did mention it to the one Ranger we saw on the course he said nothing to the group in front of us. I fully understand that the course is under construction and it is going to be beautiful when it is completed. However, you really need to get your act together and better start now because I now see why the course gets a bad rap. My friend and I used to play a lot together in the same way as first group out as a 2 some and have never run across this type of inconsiderate behavior by others on the back nines. In fact, it is an unwritten rule and at may courses a written rule that if a group from the front 9 comes up on you at 10 and you are just starting you are supposed to let them play through in order to properly track course times. You need to turn your sprinklers off a bit earlier because you are over soaking the fairways in many areas. The greens were beautiful and considering the construction so was the course it is just a shame you have Amateur's Running your course. I may stop in for an afternoon round or later morning round because I really do like the challenge of this course it reminds me of many from back in the Chicago area, but I would never play early morning again because just as you get into a rhythm it is broken by lack of Course Leadership on the back.

I started playing again after a 20 years layoff. Since I started again last June I’ve played several courses none come close to being this bad. Played here last fall. Course under construction. Played again 8 months later. What are they doing with the green fees certainly not reinvesting in the course. Still same construction only more of it. None of it seems to be getting done only started. This is truly a horrible place. People aren’t friendly either, so there’s no upside to this place. Too bad because it literally the closest public course to my house outside of Monarch which is kind of costly to play regularly. The plus is pace of play. Played on a Sunday in 4 hours. Probably because nobody is play big here.

Great course very difficult but they have made some real improvements

Usually a great course and friendly atmosphere. Enter course is under renovation, morning staff was not the most friendly, and several pair fours were split to accommodate other holes being closed. This experience was a let down to my first firm playing there.

No driving range and a little pricey for being under construction

Great course. No shop but everything else about it was amazing

This course has always been under some state of repair as long as I can remember. As of recently, they have split the par 5 hole #1 into two holes, and hole #4 is out of play. The signage is somewhat confusing. The greens are a little beat up, but the rest of the playing surface is in the usual shorecliffs state.
