Teed off @ 840 on 2/9 POP 4 1/2 hrs. If you need to experience hard and fast greens this is the place. Easily 11-12 on the stimpmeter. Down hill putts or chips, forget it, it's almost impossible to stop at hole. Course is playing firm and fast, especially with this mini heatwave that just rolled in. Course is short, but these rockhard greens make it extremely challenging.

Concern that there might be a frost delay I decided to venture to San Clemente where frost is never an issue. Plus, I like this course. One of the better walking courses. Greens were the best part of the course, rolled true and had good pace. Most fairways had good coverage. Rough was a bit inconsistent, but since I kept it in the fairways for the most part, not a problem. No bunkers, but they appeared OK

Staff here is always friendly and accommodating. Over all a fun day on a fun course. Always recommend this course.

Played last Wed 12/1 @7am. Overall course conditions are fine. The speed of the greens are crazy fast! Anything above the hole or putting towards the ocean is a tough two putt. Here's the deal, there only mowing the greens 2-3 times a week, but there rolling the greens everyday! Good luck trying to go an entire round without a three putt. I know I wasn't able to do it.

Played SC Muni on 10/28/21. In general, conditions were pretty standard for here. Greens a bit thin, but rolled well. Fairways good. Rough is hit and miss. Bunkers were just fine.

The one exception - the tee boxes are awful. Some might have some grass, but they were all overloaded with sand. It was like teeing off in a bunker. I can only assume this was major maintenance, having played here for years I've never seen it like this.

I'll be back, always a fun course to play, hopefully those tee boxes recover quickly.

I’ve grown up playing here. At times it’s been amazing but, I’ll be honest…. Over the last few years the overall conditioning of the course has gone downhill. The bunkers need to be reshaped and the massive lips cut down to a more normal/ playable height. ( this naturally occurs over times) and the sand is gone in most. It’s a known fact that there’s just not many people working on the course. Hole for hole, it’s a classic Bell Sr layout. The greens roll pretty good for the most part but they could benefit from rolling them more frequently. Just some attention to details would be much appreciated from all the loyal players they have at this classic gem. Service is always great . Pace of play is great. Just some more TLC would be awesome ???

Always great to come back and play San Clemente. It is just such a pleasant walking course. If I was even half smart, I would have played last week when it was hot, but playing here is great any time.

Course is generally in good condition and found that to be the case again. Greens rolled well, but not as quick as I remember them. Most fairways had good coverage, but a few areas which were thin. Both bunkers I found had sufficient well raked sand. Rough was at times inconsistent.

Staff at San Clemente is always friendly and accommodating. Nice to feel welcome when you arrive in the shop. That is appreciated.

Played Monday teeing off at 7:50 finishing in just over 4 hours. The greens are in good condition rolling smooth with medium/fast speed and holding shots. The fairways have mostly good coverage with a few thin spots. The rough is mostly good with thin/bare spots primarily in the shaded areas of trees. Rough was long enough to affect shots but not overly penal. The bunkers appeared to be in good condition although I was not in any today. The tee boxes have decent coverage. Enjoyable layout with friendly staff.

We played on 8/3/21, course in great shape, staff very friendly. I play here 3 to 4 times a month, always a good experience. Tricky part of this course are the greens, I would say all but two, pull severely to the ocean. Once you get that in your head, you can have a lot of fun on this course. Clubhouse is on the smaller size, well stocked. Always a good hot dog from the snack stand. No cart person, on the course. You pass the snack stand twice during the game, that’s convenient. Carts have no gps. Half newer carts, half older. Course is always in great shape. I would recommend some playtime here. Three and a half to four ??

When the heat comes, San Clemente is such a wonderful course to play. Truth is, it's great any time of year. (Never any frost here either ! ) Course is really in nice condition right now. Greens rolling well, very receptive. Fairways have good coverage. Really the entire course is very good right now. Staff is always friendly and unlike many other courses, they have not inflated their fees. Highly recommend !
