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.

Golfer Reviews
Greens Punched
We didn't know they had punched and sanded the greens and was taking tee times. The greens were sanded heavily; making putting impossible. Half way through we stopped putting. They should let you know that they greens are mot playable before paying money.
Very disappointed Hope Golf now will follow up with me!
I booked and played this course just 3 days ago and had a nice experience so I recommended this course to a few friends to play with me today. WHAT A MISTAKE!!!
We showed up to check in and were told that the front9 was closed and we would have to play the back 9 twice and they had just punched and too dressed the greens. The front desk guy said “this is ok right?” Seeing as were there to tee off we didn’t have much of a choice. But, this would be very helpful to have posted prior to booking a tee time as we would have searched elsewhere.
We thought how bad could it be? AWFUL!!! The greens were like the beach! Some greens you couldn’t even see the grass and everywhere you stepped left foot prints and after putting you could see your ball track. There were also cedar chips all over the green and any out, besides not going anywhere, hopped and bounced all over the green. It was embarrassing!
Again, had this been disclosed we would have found a different course but we felt stuck as we would not have found a tee time elsewhere. We took time off of work for this and it was not very enjoyable.
I have attached a couple of photos. Just FYI, these pictures are not of the worst greens but the average look.
Better disclosure is needed!
Punched Greens
We only could play the front 9 twice due to aeration of back 9 greens. Made it very crowded and very slow.
Great course
My friends and I had a late morning tee time and loved this course. Hidden gem. Wonderful restaurant, and super friendly staff! Can’t wait to play here again.
Shore cliffs golf course
Good course. Played with a friend. Pace of play was slow.
Terrible
Pace of play was awful, beverage cart never hit our group in 85 degree weather, layout and voice conditions were awful and how can you have a 215 yard par 4? Par 5s should have all been par 4s. Don’t waste your money here.
Lots of fun
This was a great course. It was my first time playing Shorecliffs but it won't be my last. Great staff and you can't beat the price for this type of experience.
Fun to play - some rough spots
Fun layout - tight front side and more open on back. Tee boxes and fairway have some rough spots, but greens are generally healthy and roll well. Not long, several holes have challenges in their layout.
