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.

would have had a better score of it wasn't for the first two holes Photo submitted by champ471 on 06/17/2014
Garbage
The course used to cost $50 to play; now it’s $110. When it was $50, the course conditions were better. They increased the costs to offset the removal of the driving range to build apartments. Additionally, they allow TikTok influencers to play in groups of five, sharing clubs and hitting multiple balls off each tee for YouTube footage, which slows down what should be a four-hour round. Furthermore, the fairways resemble the Mojave Desert—I’m surprised it’s not listed as BLM land. If you prefer to play golf on grass rather than the Grand Canyon, don’t go here.
Challenging
Course conditions put my game to the test, loved it. Can take advantage of your strengths but can punish you on your weaknesses, loved it. Would definitely play again and brings friends, loved it.
Any 3-5 star reviews are Workers of shorecliffs
No honest person who plays this course rates it above a 3… they’re either on heavy amounts of drugs or they’re workers of the golf course. The course is still ridiculously priced.
Let me put it into context for people who have never played or don’t play often.
They’re charging 48$ for 9 holes.
I used to get out at Shorecliffs 2021-2022 for 38$ for 18 on a weekend!!!!!!!
Figure it out cliffs you’re not a good course you’re a dog track that has wide open tee sheets because locals know. Figure it out and lower your prices 40-50% and your tee sheet will be full.
Good Course
Nice views and in good condition, good pace of play , finished in 4 1/2 hours with 4 people on Saturday morning . Nice amenities, only reason it’s 4 stars not 5 is because there was a lot of muddy areas and some tee boxes were in bad shape
Nice greens
Nice greens, tee-off need a little bit of love.
All de course was re-design a few months ago, so the usual personal gps tools dint work for now.
I have a good time on this course !
Course is in great shape, great vibe!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Course is in great shape. Greens were running smooth and true. Fairways are really good with only a few minor thin spots. Only 18 had minor thinning on the green. This course has several tight holes so, you must really pay attention on ball placement. I’m a 15 hncp and Posted a 85 with a few doubles on the tight holes. Bring a range finder since no GPS on ( new) carts and GPS apps don’t seem to work yet.
My girlfriend and I launched at 6:20 and finished in 4 hrs.
Great value. No driving range but, really good chip n putt area.
Needs a lot of work
This is a great little course. Tough layout. But it needs a lot of work. Fairways to boxes greens… Not worth the money.
Great experience
I waited a few years having read the earlier reviews. Played today. Course was in good shape. Green were great. Tough front 9 (which I'd play differently next time), easier back. 51 + 40 for a 91 as a 14hcp. Played with two great guys. Great experience. Worth every penny. I recommend.
Carts
Nice new carts but brake was impossible to engage!!!
