Shorecliffs Golf Club

I am very sad for myself and many Seniors and Veterans that have supported this affordable relic the past couple of decades. The clubhouse had fallen into disrepair but the course was always a challenge and the greens were the BEST.

Suddenly there was new Ownership. New irrigation, new tunnel, and water features were installed while temporary holes were the rule for YEARS while a collapsing canyon and new clubhouse was built. There were affordable increases in fees through this process.

Recently, New management by TROON has increased the fees to beyond market value. Established courses in the area are charging $20-$30+ LESS for early bird, twilight, and regular weekday prices.

NO problem getting a tee time NOW as the course is EMPTY.

I hope fees come down soon or who knows what may happen to this beautiful course/clubhouse. Maybe it become a PARK?

Lots of construction, very poor layout and overall a disappointment. Won’t play again and $100 worth no more than a muni at $25

I started golfing in 2020 and cliffs was always affordable and the most decent practice course around. You could get out for 18 at 32$ during the week and 38$ on weekend. I’m just confused how all the sudden they make some minor changes that they needed to do to keep the course running and they decide to start charging almost triple of what the prices used to be. Also just saying the course was full every single day and it was hard to get times you had to be checking every hour for tee times to free up but now the entire day is open because the price. Lower your prices by 50% or this course will eventually close. You can’t be charging more than San Juan, tejarias creek, Sc muni and talega. You guys have to be on something to charge more than those courses.

You’re a dog trap practice course with a challenging layout at max 45$ for a weekend round seems about right. And go back to the 38$ week round and I guarantee you will be booked for months with zero complaints…. Just saying you need to figure it out.

Its not called Shore SHI!$ for nothing….

Hello everyone I live in Arizona but my moms still lives in San Juan and I just started golfing this last year. All the courses in Phoenix are plush and always affordable. I decided to play in my home town at one of the local courses and come to find after I heard from some buddies that is was a good cheap practice course and I got their only to have to pay $95 to play golf? The courses I play in AZ are easily 90% better than shore cliffs. I almost didn’t play but this was the only place that had an open tee sheet. My friends say they used to play for $30 a round. I’m sure this course could be better but the price makes you feel like you’re losing money.

The owners try hard to improve this course with many on course, improvements and a new clubhouse and other amenities like a patio area and a new pond and a fountain. The greens are in good shape. Golf Cart‘s are very difficult to drive and have a limited road to get in and out. I would definitely replace the golf carts with something more people friendly and roomier. Fairways for very wet.

I think its pretty obvious these rates are way too high when you see a wide open tee sheet on the weekends. What a joke asking for $95 a round for this course. They clearly dont know how supply and demand works haha, theyd be making way more money if the rates were even somewhat reasonable… but these are ridiculous for a course that doesnt even play over 6000 yards. Is there free drinks and a massage involved??

They put in an oversized clubhouse along with buying new carts, but dont want to clean up the fairways and tee boxes. Everyone that you interact with here makes you feel unwelcome. The marshall said someone complained about my group talking too loud on the tee box when literally no one was around us…. clearly the dude must have heard us talking about the bad tee boxes, and took it personal to ruin our day. Theres never anyone playing, yet they get mad if you rehit a ball. And on this bowling alley of a course, that happens quite a bit if you want to get your moneys worth. Im around a 10 handicap and this course isnt even enjoyable. Go take your money somewhere else.

Had a Sunday Afternoon tee time on 8/13. I had previously played the course in previous years and had not returned due to course conditions, cart conditions, and a pretty unpleasant staff. However, Troon recently took over ownership of the course and has made it a terrific place to play 18!

Compared to how it used to be, the tips now measure just over 5700 yards; making it a shorter course but still having its trademark narrow fairways that place accurate tee shots as a must. Also, they switched the front and back nines and turned the original 1st hole into an almost 200-yard par 3 as current hole #10 and a short 230ish yd par 4 as current hole #11 (this made up for them having to get rid of the former 6th hole)
Despite not having a driving range, there is a solid chipping and putting green next to the clubhouse to prepare for the round. The staff is very courteous and the newer golf carts they have are of high quality. It could be beneficial to have a GPS display on the carts but they are still very nice.

For a shorter course, the round was $72 for a 1pm Sunday tee time, which was somewhat reasonable.

If you haven't played this course in a while it was under under old ownership or renovations, it is definitely worth trying out again!

Imagine being able to play golf for 32$ that’s what this course used to be and that was cool because it’s a good practice course. They’re now charging 95$ to play a dog trap of a practice course. You can play SC muni for 68$ weekend rate and Los Lagos 55$. Also the course is maxed out at 6000yards it’s not even a full course. Stop going to Shorecliffs and make them cut the price 50%.

It’s really not worth it to play here. Fairways are usually dirt or completely muddy because they will never figure the run off situation.

Overall a few years ago the course was worth the price of 32$ but 95$ I think drugs are involved haha

I see $121 is now the prime rate for this course. Few extra dollars and you're playing any number of nearby courses that are so much nicer. Shorecliffs is a value option, not a talega or Tijeras Creek. You can't go from $60 a round to $120 and expect to sell tee times. There's a reason there are always too many tee times available for this course.
I'll take the reasonable price and old clubhouse any day over this price gouging and delusional thinking.

This place was fun to play at 50-60 bucks. Now they want 100$ that’s probably why you can find tee times all day for 4

I have no idea where to stay but the price for a round now is 95$…. The course is worth 30$ at best and that’s what it used to be. It’s a practice course that apparently is on the level of all the good courses in the area. It plays 5700 yards with most fairways as dirt or if there is grass it’s usually muddy because of the run off. If a round here is 95$ I’m expecting a GPS cart and hopefully drinks are free? I just don’t know how they can justify a 1 star course and charge this. It’s not worth it. Go play muni or lagos!!!

Played this course two years ago before the club house got demolished. Then played again on August 8th for $55. A little high for what you get but not horrible. Greens were all in good shape but clubhouse wasn’t open and parking was a nightmare had to valet which was free but annoying. Was going to book again in a few weeks when I noticed they had almost doubled their prices! $90+ for the weekend! this course is fun and challenging but not $90 fun! I would say $60 max for the weekend. I’m sure this course will be get the rep of being the only place with open for your last minute t-times but it’s gunna cost you.

$107 for shore cliffs? Absolutely ridiculous. Won't be back. Their membership comes out to $360 per year. Save your money for somewhere else. Too bad, interesting course.

The $ derived from the sale of the driving range should have been used to improve the course fairway grasses and teeboxe grasses instead of building a beautiful new pro shop building. Many teeboxes were spongy with different grasses left 1 inch deep and overwatered. Most fairways are still full of varied types of grass with poor drainage or rough mottled terrain. The ‘ditch’ is still a got track and except for the always terrific greens, not worth eating a round.

Played here many years ago and told myself I would never come back unless I was just going to the bar (lol) . I heard they made improvements and read some of the reviews. So I played on 8-1 n was absolutely impressed by what they have done ! Will definitely be back !
