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
Coastal Gem
Grateful management has changed its policies and masks are now required inside.
Has potential - once repairs are done
I really would have a hard time recommending it for now, unless it is the only tee time you can get. That was the case for us. Short narrow course, narrow with extensive renovations going on. Not the most picturesque course, but some challenging holes here, greens in decent shape. It will probably be worth a visit in the future but for now I would look for other options.
I think they could probably do the regular course maintenance during off hours....this was 11am on a Friday.

Hello, hammerken. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Course is being redone
Course is going through renovations. Had i known this, I wouldn’t have booked this course and I wouldn’t have driven 60 miles to play here. I’m sure the course will be great once it’s been renovated. I’ll most likely play here again when everything is completed.

16 holes for price of 36
Construction interferes everywhere. Slow slow slow play. Greens are nice but everything else sucks.
Comfortable Coastal Course
Enjoyed playing Shorecliff GC again this week. Weather gorgeous near the ocean. Course is good shape, could use a little extra water, but greens perfect. Looking forward to new water features at first and fifth holes now under construction, and for the new clubhouse.
Thank you for visiting us at Shorecliffs Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great Local Course
Always fun to play Shorecliffs, getting better slowly. Can’t wait until it’s completed!

Only for Practice
They are doing so much work on the course, you can't get a real score here. Golf Now should have an alert for courses undergoing work even if it's only aeration. This course is undergoing a huge overhaul. I wouldn't have played here if I had known.

The course is mess because of construction
The price they charged was to much for having to deal with all the mess.

An average course that once was a good test of golf.
The course is in a state of flux with most of the challenging holes, being made into two holes, while they are improving the course. Will be interesting to see how everything turns out. Mostly play here due to friends that play here. The weather is almost always terrific, so no matter what the physical circumstances can still have a good day on the on the course.
Hi minus7! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Lots of distractions
Lawnmowers and gardeners on every hole, blowing dust and grass in your face as you tee off. Appreciate not being paired with others, but the pace was slower today than other days. Very friendly Marshall. Will play again.

No Masks Required
Masks are not required at this golf course at club house. Husband was harassed at urinal for wearing one. Bad energy from some people. Sad.

Weekend golfer
I haven’t played this course for like 8 years today was the first time back and I’m very impressed seeing this course is getting some improvement and the green are great condition but the only drawback are around 6 I was on the 17th hole there were a group of golfers were wearing regular t-shirts and some were tank tops and they were being very loud and arguing about who’s hitting next that just ruins the moment for me
Your feedback is important to us, weekendgolfer2. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Shorecliffs Golf Club.

Cheap but weird renovations happening. Definitely worth the 40$ though
