New clubhouse is very nice and now there's plenty of parking. Tee boxes were all being seeded, course was in OK shape but had bare spots and gopher holds. Nice sand in traps. Greens in average shape, with a few bare spots.
Course layout has not bee updated in GPS apps and yardages are all off.

First time playing this course. Upon arrival you come up on a newly remodeled clubhouse, which overlooks Hole #10 and #18. There is a practice green but there is no driving range. Good first impressions.

There are a lot of narrow tunnels that you have to drive through in the course. I did not care for the design of the course. The par 3 average 190-200 yards from the blues. There are a couple of Par 4 that are only 200-215 yards. A lot of narrow fairways and dog legs. The back nine fairways are a little larger. Greens are small.

Some fairways are being repaired and some are muddy. Greens were aerated couple of weeks ago and are still very shaggy. Fairways were being mowed when we were playing so hopefully they will be short enough for your ball to get some roll when it lands. At $59 I would play it again, anything higher than that and I would skip.

The 19th hole and the staff was the best part of the course.

Played 7/20/2023. Lots of very positive improvements here. Good coverage in fairways, greens rolling nicely and quite smooth. All bunkers I hit from had very good sand. A couple greens are new 15 & 18, I believe, and are much firmer than all others. Played here years ago and I don't recall exactly what layout changes are, but new routing is pretty solid. First 4 (formerly back nine) are quite tough. There are a few quirky holes. Par 3 4th plays 200 straight up hill, a fairway below is a mess. The Par 5 7th is among the narrowest around, but all up, a fun course. Back 9 much shorter than front Enjoyable conditions, good break from hot weather inland. Understand bar / restaurant / clubhouse renovations are likely complete in September. You won't recognize from previous condition. Looks great !

6/22 using teeoff deal time with discount $35 410 POP. Very pleasant 715 start time warmingas the sun peaked thru with a bit of a breeze the last few holes. Conditions are quite good with the fairways being lush and full with about 5% patchy areas. Lies were excellent. Couirse needs to start encouraging the filling of divots before it gets out of hand. Rough cut to about 1-2 inches and very healthy and sticky; Played harder than it looked when the ball nestled down. Most tees are in good shape except for a couple that had some slope and a few had some divot damage. Bunkers were groomed , generally with adequate sand.
Greens were really good smooth medium fast and still receptive for full shots. Chips and pitches could run out rather quickly.
Overall conditions are near thir prime and getting better as time goes by and areas of the ccourse continuing to heal from rpairs and renovation...Fun track but challenging without that much length

Never thought I'd have much nice to say about this course but the improvements so far are wonderful.

Never thought I'd have much nice to say about this course but the improvements so far are wonderful.
The 9s are flipped. There are a few holes that have been shortened and/or completely reinvented. Overall the course is short at par 70. All of the turf is in great condition and the greens fast. Many huge trees have been removed. The course is much more open now and beautifully landscaped with roses everywhere. The new clubhouse is not yet open and there is a no driving range, but there is a new chipping, putting and patio area with new hitting bays to come. A couple of the tunnels are completely paved! All the staff was super friendly.
The only negative is that my GPS was completely useless. It had no idea where I was.

6/1 712 using teeoff dealtime $41 with a 330 POP with consistent waiting on the 3some ahead and being closely followed by a 3some. !st time playing the new revised layout which now starts on the otherside of the tunnel on what was recently #9 and previously #10. Staring this route will make sense when the club house is open as the practice areas and staging will be adjacent.
#! has a new er tee box open less than a year since it opened and if the markers are near the back adds about 10 yds in length. #2 is now back its oriuginal par 5 design at 523 yds and narrow with ob left and penalty area rt for the entire length of the hole. #3-9 remain as they have been tho 7 (old 16) has suffered from the left hillside collapsing so about 1/2 the fairwqy is gur.
#10 par 3 has a new tee box and now plays at 200 from the blues. 11 has a new tee box adding about 30nyds as does 12 adding about 20. 13 and 14 are basically unchanged. 15 is a new hole layed out in the canyon withb 4 sets of tees playing about 300 nfrom the tips. 16 and 17 are unchanged. 18 is now a par 4 similar in design to the original 39 but about 50 yds shorter. Now is set as a par 70 69.0/125.
Fairways have some areas that are in excellent condition with some patches that are still in recovery mode. 80 % really good lies and the rest from marginal to 1 or 2 sketchy. Rough 1-2 inches but very thick what lands there stayes there and could present a challenge to advance.
Bunkers looked ok as I only observed them in passing today. Tees mostly ok with the newest being really nice.
Greens had evidence of recent verticut and surprisingly showed the pattern from past plugging but were mostly smooth but early on were slower than expected.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Overall the majority of the work on the course is complete with the exception of some irrigation lines and some draiage projects still work in progress.
Not the country club/troon experience but a good test of your game with overall improvement in conditions.

4/28 725 time using teeoff deal time $37 with discount got off a few min early as a single following a 4some and being followed at a distance by another 4some so had a chance to practice some chips and putts but still had a very reasonable POP of 345.
Fairways are mostly in good shape with some overly wet areas but not generally a factor. Rough is longer now and depending on the type of grass the ball would sit up on top of an inch or 2 of cushion or could sink in and be buried. Also balls hit into the rough would come to a quick stop.
Tees are mixed as the new/newer tees are in nice shape while the old tee boxes are often not level and often worn. There are still 2 new boxes that are almost ready to open and the new hole in the canyon old 6 new 15 when the 9s are flipped around 5/18 will be in play.
All the bunkers have ample sand and were in good condition. However a few have different sand which is thick but not well compacted so for me a lot more difficult to judge.
Greens were way better than I expected 2 weeks post areation, rolling quite smoothly at medium/medium fast speed. Greens are very healthy with a tight turf and virtually no evidence of punching. BTW the practice green and chipping area is now open and is a very nice addition. The new club house has a hopeful opening date of 6/1.
Staff members are friendly and welcoming

Wow. Played here last week and i must say- What a pile of garbage this place has become.

They built a new clubhouse but you can't polish a turd. The course is in awful shape- its an awful layout- and its difficult.

If you're going to have a course as crappy as Shorecliffs- You better at least make it more forgiving and friendly on the scorecard- but this course is both in terrible shape and difficult.

NEVER AGAIN WILL I PLAY THERE!

In my quest to make sure that I've broken 100 at minimum at every course I've ever played, I found myself back at Shorecliffs for the first time since 2013 - the first full year I ever started playing golf. I was in the area so I thought why not check it off the list. Mission accomplished is about the best thing I can say about the whole experience. First off, it's important to address the big changes that Shorecliffs is trying to implement and give them credit for the ambitious new project, but the interim maladies besetting this place makes one wonder if it would not have been best to simply shut it all down until the final product is ready to go. But that's not realistic I'm sure in today's financial climate, so my bad for not waiting another six months or so to play here again. There is no restaurant other than a food truck in the very small current parking lot, which strangely offers valet service but most patrons are now parking out along the street. Far from ideal. The new clubhouse is almost done and they recently opened the new putting and chipping practice area where the old 9th green used to be. It's going to be pretty cool I'm sure, but it has wreaked havoc on the layout and scorecard designs. The old opening par 5 has been replaced by holes 1a and 1b - seriously. Then you've got a half mile drive past the old quirky 5th hole (I think) so walking is not advised (the new hole when it's done is going to be pretty cool though). The 9th hole is now the old 10th and then there are some weird temporary holes again out of another old par 5. The crazy 16th hole is the narrowest par 5 anywhere with an odd-smelling concrete drainage ditch running its length down the left side. It's nuts. Anyways, conditions are okay for the most part but not really. The fairways are okay I guess but the tee boxes were pretty haphazard, the rough and bare areas are everywhere to be found, the bunkers were super thin and clumpy, while some of the greens were okay but some also showed damage and they were none too smooth. In all honesty though I think once the project is done and they put some TLC into this place it won't be a bad play. Shorecliffs is in a great area and deserves a finer golf experience. I think they'll get there but for the time being it's still best to wait it out.
