Shorecliffs Golf Club

This course is easy to get a tee time at a cheap price. The greens were maintained well, and the fairways and tee boxes were average at best. The course is very tight with steep slopes on both sides of the fairway for many holes so accurate shots are key to scoring well here. Overall, this is a cheap easy course.

The course is never real crowded. It's 6K yards so it's a decent length. It has some interesting holes some over 500 yds long so you better be good with your woods or long distance hybrids. It's by the ocean so it is always cool. The greens are well kept and the green fees are pretty good.

Have played this course a few times now and it keeps getting better. The fairways continue to improve and the greens have always been great.

The title says it all. 5 hour round

Course was not in good shape although greens were nice. Price was way too high for condition.

Expect to lose some balls especially if you don't know layouts

Greens always in great shape some rough patches in fairways

Best value for price, weather and staff friendliness in OC

Better be hitting the ball straight (and at your target). Many holes are unforgiving, costing you a stroke or two AND a ball. Greens were in decent shape.

Good value with hot deal would not pay $ 30 for twilight rate here

For the money $34 per person, which included the cart, it was okay. However, there is little or no forgiveness on this course. If you do not hit your shots consistently up the middle, then as Tony Soprano would say, Fuh-ged-a-bout it! Some holes are lined with steep hills and you would have to be a billy goat to even think about finding an errant shot. I think that I am a fairly consistent senior golfer (82 - 92); however, even playing from the forward tees, I lost four balls. If you are a below average golfer, don't play this course as you will end up eating your clubs for lunch.

The biggest highlight was that Richard Nixon played this course. Very backed up at our starting time. 3 hours for 10 holes and we just had to quit. Overflowing water under the tunnel to the back nine. Otherwise, I doubt I'll be back.

After reading a ton of reviews, I was not expecting much. I was very please by the condition of the course. Sure it's no private club, but it the majority of the course was in good condition. I only played 1 hole that needed some work. Greens were very good. Course is pretty challenging. And a great value overall. I will be back.

This is a hidden gem, very reasonably priced and it has a number of challenging holes. It's uncrowded early in the morning, the best time to play when the cloud cover keeps it nice and cool, later the sun comes out. We had a great round of golf.

Workers could care less who was approaching greens. They did not move. I could not believe I had to walk over and move the guys tools off the green to chip on! He just sat there. I would be addressing the ball and workers would not stop vehicles, just passed on by. I was scheduled a tee time and did not get off until 45 min later. Don't bother hitting the range, balls are not worth hitting. Bring own towels, cooler. I believe the course is changing holes/layout due to erosion issues. Check the status before going.

Lately they have been packing more and more groups consecutively. Maybe it's the fact that it's summer and you can't beat the price for Southern California.

Decided to play this course because it was going to be 20 degrees cooler than where I normally play. Driving range was 20 yards from first tee. We went off as a twosome, in front and behind a twosome. Pace of play was excellent. Fairways were beautiful on most every hole. Some areas on a few fairways had small bad spots, but if you hit the right club there were no issues on the fairways. Back nine much more challenging than front nine. I hit 4iron off the tee on several of the par4 holes because of the narrow fairways. The par 5s were reachable in 2 shots on all but 1. Overall an excellent, challenging course for the avid golfer.

I was told that we would see the ocean in at list 3 holes...a 3 wood distance, not so you can hardly see the ocean in one hole..

The course condition is awful, the smell of waste water is horrible and the worst part is that you have to cross under tunnels of waste water and not light inside...HORRIBLE SMELL

I waste my money and had the worst 18 holes in my life...I have been playing during 60 years at least and played all around south America, central America and Canada...besides Spain, England and Scotland.

Most of the course needs repair.

The fairways are mostly dead grass and very bumpy.

Price is a great deal, but you get what you pay for.

It's warming up in Southern California. You can golf inland and be in the middle of the heat, or you can go to Shorecliffs and be a stone's throw (they call it a 9-iron) away from the beach. Only one hole, of course, but you get the idea. It was much cooler on a warm Tuesday afternoon.

The course has some rough patches. Grass isn't everywhere but that's o.k. If you don't mind moving your ball a little bit this way or that. And the green are very good.

Had a great front nine, but holes 11-13 are killer. 11 is a par 5 that you need to hit the fairway. And it's narrow. 12 is a blind tee-shot, especially from the blues. Big hitters do well on these two holes IF they hit it straight. The 13th hole is diabolical. I talk myself into a bad shot EVERYTIME and I usually hit the ball straight. But not at this hole.

#15 is a bit unfair as the fairway slopes toward the drainage ditch unless you can bomb it, which I can't. Get past these holes and have a pretty round. And, as always, going through the tunnels is fun.
