9:30 tee time on a Wednesday morning, 4-1/2 hour round. Course had six each of par 3's, 4's, and 5's, staring with back-to-back par 5's. Fairways and tee boxes are in excellent shape, greens were good except for the morons who don't repair their pitch marks. Sand in some traps was dry and fluffy, a bit coarser and wetter in others. Few bare spots to be found. Overall a great value.

Played a Wednesday 9:23 tee time. Arrived a bit late due to traffic and the starter was very accommodating and fit us in a 9:40. Great service for a $25 group certificate deal. Play was slow due to a twosome ahead of us playing over their heads from the blue tees so we waited on every hole, which turned it into a five hour round. Never saw a marshal or a beverage cart the entire 18.
Greens are soft, bumpy, and slow. Fairways are in very good shape. Some alternate tee boxes in use to allow regular boxes to recover. Sand in bunkers was very wet and very hard and I was glad I only had to sample it once.

9:30 tee time on a Wednesday. Started on time, fivesome ahead of us, POP 4-3/4 hours. Course is in very nice shape for amount of play it gets. Greens a bit bumpy but well maintained. Tee boxes are small and well-used but acceptably level. A few muddy spots off the fairway and rough in those areas is quite thick. Would definitely play again.

Teed of a 9:20 on a Wednesday morning. No one in front of us, no one behind us, and we finished in 4-1/2 hours. Course is really in rough shape with lots of bare spots and muddy areas. If the drought persists and water rationing becomes a reality, this course will suffer immensely.

Had a 9:40 tee time on a Wednesday, actually got off early due to some cancellations and finished in 4.5 hours. Fairways are in good shape but some wet spots and GUR required winter rule play. Course is hilly and sometimes narrow, some challenging lies result. Greens are moderate speed with lots of contour and some challenging hole placements. $50 round with cart, sleeve of balls, and well drink in the bar made for a good deal.

Foursome teed off about 9:30. Greens have mostly recovered from punching but are still a bit bumpy. Fairways and rough in great shape with few bare or wet spots. Tee boxes are flat and a little thin. Traps were well-raked, dry, and soft.
Great views of ocean, breeze comes up around 11:00. Back nine more challenging with elevation changes and canyons.
Finished in just over four hours. Senior rate makes this a real sweet deal!

Teed off at 9:30, finished a little over 5 hours later. Course is in OK shape with lots of wet areas on and off fairways. Fairways are rock hard and thin in some places. Greens are recovering from aeration but are still pretty bumpy. Crews were sanding back half of greens today and almost impossible to judge speed if you end up back there. Lots of work in progress to improve course, hope they get it all done by summer.

Had an 8:53 a.m. tee time yesterday and finished about 12:40. Course is in great shape except for greens which are still recovering from aeration earlier this month and are sandy and bumpy. Tee boxes, fairways green and lush, some very wet spots seen. Cart path and tee box under renovation on #4 so tees are well forward.

Teed off at 10:30 today and finished just under four hours. Greens have been aerated and are very bumpy but rest of the course is in great shape. Tee boxes are filled in nicely, relatively flat and level. A few bare spots on fairways but no mud.

Generally in good shape perhaps because cold weather lately has kept traffic down. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens OK with some bare spots at end of paved cart paths. Wide open fairways, most with trees on either side, and OB generally not a problem. No water and a few avoidable bunkers.

Got a great deal online so I made the drive down to San Clemente. Had not played Shorecliffs in at least ten years. Played with one of the regulars and he told me the course in under new management...and it shows. Tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape...smooth and fast. Fairways are a bit soggy from all the rain but there are no bare spots. Rough is, well, rough, but not so long that it's demoralizing.
Course is still as narrow as it was before. No water except for a bunch of drainage culverts marked as lateral hazards. Sand in traps is pretty coars and was very wet this morning.
All in all a good course at a great price.

Got a great deal online. $13 with a cart and worth every penny,
Tee boxes being re-seeded and all tees moved forward so course played very short. Some par 4's at 200 yards playing like long 3's. Tee position takes traps and water out of play. Greens OK but a bit lumpy. Done in 4 hours.
