    Good value for the price. Green speeds are fairly fast, but the undulation is not too severe, so putting is manageable. Tee boxes were in rough shape, with quite a few worn and poorly repaired spots. Due to recent rain, there were several unplayable areas on the fairways, and the course features many shorter par 4s overall. Compared to Riverview Golf Course at a similar price point, this course is shorter but offers more variety in layout, which makes it the better option in my opinion.

    Very narrow, sloped holes and challenging course. Im a 15 handicap and lost about 2 sleeves of balls thru 18. First time playing this course, decided to go on a Monday morning, the field crews were out watering the greens so it made them quite slow but playable. Pro shop (Ed) was super friendly and made my first time memorable, I will definitely be back with my buddies. Nice little hidden gem in south oc. The food was great as well!!

    I had the pleasure of playing Shorecliffs Golf Club back in October and was thoroughly impressed. The course itself is a unique blend of challenge and beauty, winding its way through houses and earning its nickname "The Ditch" thanks to the strategic bunkering and elevation changes. Despite a few well-worn tee boxes, the layout was well-maintained and offered a super friendly experience, catering to golfers of all skill levels. I'm particularly excited to see how the new hole will integrate into the course! The brand new clubhouse was a delight, boasting a clean and modern atmosphere with helpful staff and a well-stocked pro shop. The highlight, however, were the par 3s, each offering a unique challenge and plenty of fun. Finishing the round with the last four holes leading back to the clubhouse was truly breathtaking, showcasing the stunning coastal scenery. Overall, Shorecliffs exceeded my expectations. With reasonable green fees, an awesome layout, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend this club to anyone looking for a memorable round in a beautiful setting.

    I walked on as a single and paid with my Credit card. Pro shop said my card didn’t go through and asked if I had cash. Weird. The transaction went through and I’m in the process of disputing this with my bank. Called the course for a manager and left a message. Still haven’t heard from the course. A business should never charge double for a simple transaction. Tee boxes were brutal. A horse track has better grass. Would be a 1 star but the greens are decent and the cart lady was nice so 2 starts. Hopefully I can get an answer about charging my credit card and then asking for cash..

    I’d give this course negative stars if I could. The pins are in PREPOSTEROUS locations, and have been cut maybe weeks ago? The course is in generally rough shape, it’s overpriced, and the layout is insane. Par 37 on the front with back to back par 5’s on 2 and 3. This course is worth maybe $40/18, not walkable, and an overall very frustrating experience for anyone who isn’t new to golf. I have played here twice, and would not consider coming back other than for the simulator/clubhouse, which appears fun. Attached is a picture of probably the most picturesque hole, but overall condition left a lot to be desired.
