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
Course was great
Loved the course and the golf carts have gps that shows how far you are from the tee. Very helpful!
Shorecliff's
Really enjoyed the coastal breeze. It’ has some narrow fairways and elevation changes that keep things interesting. Greens were a bit patchy, possibly from some fungus, and one of the tee boxes was under renovation, which wasn’t ideal. Still, a solid round overall and worth playing if you're in the area.
Interesting
The brand new clubhouse is beautiful, staff was friendly and the food and beverage options were great. No range but we were told we could use the simulator to warm up but they wouldn’t set us up because they were waiting for a reservation to arrive. No starter so a group ended up taking our time (solid 12 minutes early) and they were super slow and held us up all day. The front nine runs along storm drains and up thru the neighbors and canyons- really interesting and challenging with some holes that don’t really have a fairway and it’s not well maintained (probably due to the challenging landscape/ elevation). Back nine is more traditional with wider fairways and nice greens. Overall, unique experience.
POOR MAINTENANCE
WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS COURSEFOR YEARS NOW.
THIS IS THE WORST CONDITION I HAVE SEEN THE FAIRWAYS, ROUGH, AND GREENS.
IT LOOKED LIKE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A MAINTENACE CREW ANYMORE.
Nice renovations
Played this course years ago and said I wouldn’t play it again, then after reading reviews of the course after renovations, I decided to give it a go again. They did a great job with the clubhouse and restaurant, and the course conditions were much better than before. Still has some issues on a few of the greens and fairways, but overall wasn’t bad. Rough around the greens is challenging, and I wish people would repair their ball marks on the greens and rake the bunkers. Course would stay in much better shape if the players did their part. Pace of play wasn’t bad, 4.5 hours for the 4some I played with. For the right deal on GolfNow, I’d play it again
Best course for the Price…
Course is looking really nice… just maybe add more real bathrooms on the course for the lady’s but I had a great round with my wife.. the staff was super friendly with them even grabbing my bags from my car and loading them back into the car… I’m 39 and my wife is younger so I don’t have a problem carrying my bags but that kind of service is what takes this course to the next level, the tacos at the turn where amazing but I had to wait 10 min even though I ordered at the 8th tee box so we got behind pace after that.. I read bad reviews about the marshal Skip but he kindly asked to try and catch up to the group in front and said have a good round.. will be back soon…
