Shorecliffs Golf Club

The management at this course has been given numerous complaints and negative reviews because of a Marshall they insist on keeping on staff and who harasses, curses, and cusses at golfers. He goes by “Skip” and management is aware of how his behavioral issues and they won’t do anything about it. — The course experience here is already so bad, and this guy is out there thinking he is a big shot on a dog track. He explicitly cursed at golfers and that is completely unacceptable at any place, much less on a golf course where we come to have a good day and have fun.

This was my first time on the course and I saw the three star rating but wasn’t to sure why. I wanted to make my own assessment since I am 11mo new to the game. The course is difficult!!!…for a mad slicer like me. You must shoot straight and the course is narrow. I will say the pace is amazing. No pressure. The cart girl is amazing. The club house staff is amazing. Ended the day with a cheeseburger and beer. Overall I would return once I fix my slice. Hope this helps.

Stop acting like this course is worth 90-100$. Just played 2 courses In Palm Springs 100times better for 80$ haha. Just bring your price down 50-60% and every tee time will be filled again like back in 2021

This could be a good course if better maintenance was performed.

Improvements are on the way but tee-off boxes in rough shape. Greens are pretty good though.

Front nine very tight but back nine opens up.

Marshalls were on the course and the staff in general were very helpful!

I'd go back but would warn any big hitters that need some room to stay away.

Have played this course many times but not recently and thought with the substantial rise in green fees that the course would be in much better shape, but it wasn't. I was only able to play the ball down in about 50% of the fairways.

The major improvement is in the "off course" facilities which appear to be up there with the best of the best and the associates that I encountered were very helpful and friendly. I didn't eat there this time, but if the food is as good as it used to be I would recommend.

I liked the original layout better but the new one isn't bad and will play here again.

I am willing to give most courses the benefit of the doubt at this time of year, but the condition of this course is embarrassimentand an absolute sham in terms of green fees. Nothing can justify the $90 green fee per person we paid considering the condition of the course. One par 4 is shorter than the previous par three, the tees are mostly uneven and crappy condition, and colors on the course that I haven’t seen outside of the Yosemite hot springs. Am I angry? You bet! Oh, the golf carts had comfortable seats.

All the tee boxes are being worked on so all levels hit from the same set up. Fairways are very spotty and mud on most holes even though there’s been no rain. Greens are in good shape.

All the tee box’s on the front 9 are pushed up to the women’s tees. Complete mud pit. Don’t bring a good pair of shoes. This course has gone down hill once again. Don’t waste your time or money.

Current conditions are very poor and getting worse, it seems. If the course is in this bad of conditions, why are they still wanting to charge as if it was pristine?! $40-50 is a good price range for this course, and cheaper on twilight. Management must be dellusional to think this course is worth what they want to charge. — I really wish they come to their senses!

Played yesterday, liked the round and pace, plus pricing under Troon Mgmt competitive and will open player volume in future. Now a club which fits the OC.

Real golfers understand what it takes to renovate a course, especially in as wet of a place as Southern California. People saying this place isn’t worth any money are wrong. It’s a gorgeous course, you can SEE the renovations being done, and the staff is some of the friendliest I’ve encountered. They drove my best friend out to the first tee so he wouldn’t miss our tee time, and they were extremely polite.

So before any trust fund golfers tell you this place isn’t worth its salt, check it out for yourself. Come prepared for ground under repair in some spots, and come with some respect for the staff and you’ll be treated to a wonderful day.

Only real gripe would be pace of place. Guys in front of us parked their cart in the middle of the fairway, 75 yards from the green every hole. This made it so we couldn’t hit our second shots on long par 5’s or we’d hit their cart while they were putting on the green. Then we rode up to them on a par 3. The old man waited on his phone at the tee box, smiling at his buddies when we pulled up. Nothing we could really do, because dad wanted to act like a child that day lol, but we had a great time and I can’t wait to see what they do with the place!

The new layout of the course is terrible in my opinion, some of the worst green complexes and hole layouts around. The cost is absurd with the condition of the course. Definitely not worth the 95+ dollars to play. It’s a shame, the course was fun before the renovation and the price was to match.

I’ve played a ton of public courses all over the nation, this one was the worst of them all. Very surprising though because it’s in beautiful San Clemente. do not waist your time or money with this one. This course needs a massive remodel. They are charging 95 dollars at times for a round, you should never pay more than 30$ to play here. After playing this course I felt disrespected for having payed 95$. Avoid at all cost. #remodelordestroy ow yea almost forgot some of the cart paths send you thru sewer drain lines 😂
