Great place to play. Ocean views from almost every hole. If you par the last four holes, you played a great round of golf!

It is just a real pleasant experience to be on the course, regardless of the score you shoot.

Enjoyable home course for me.

This is a great course for the money and the challenge. It is also a traditional walking course which is difficult to find today. I have played the course on a regular basis and always enjoy it unless I am playing later in the day when the pace of play slows down. Best to tee off before 8.00 in the morning

Ok, now here's the deal with "the Clan" (affectionately named by mens clubbers at San Clemente Muni). This place is WHAT IT IS, y'all! It's a local track with good golfers few, begginers-o-plenty, and it's kid-friendly!

Dave Cook and his wife run a tight little shop and give lessons to a lot of entry-level golfers who then take it to the course (a lot of times way before it's time to do so). However, if you are a local, you know this, and you work in your wager-games with your stiff-lipped-scalliwags early in the day while the waffles and cheerios are being scarffed up by our next generation of surf-skate-golfers who arrive in the mid-day sun after their 2-hour surf session and before planning to heist dad's whiskey and hit the beach for glass-off. It's just that way, people.

I've seen this place with greens so fast that guys would wager in the bar about whether it was 11.5 or 13 on the stimp; then they would march (beers in hand) to the green in question and stimp it so they could settle their bets right then and there.

Watch out for Pham! He will bet you a grand that he will beat you with your own clubs (barefoot) ... and HE WILL! Greg S. is the mens club champ, and a good egg! Does he ever blink?!? I honestly played 9 holes with him one time, and I counted ZERO blinks!!!! And then there's Jim (The Silkworm) Simpson whose silky smooth sumptuous swings of each club in the bag make us droooool with envy! Tommy-the-Grass-Boy is awesome, with one foot in his golf shoes and one foot on his surfboard, ya never know what he'll do, but rest assured he'll do it with a Stone Pale Ale in his hand.

So, if you want Kayme to tend bar for you and tell you stories of her love and escapades while you stretch the limits of your liver and laugh for hours with the good ol' boys at The Clan, then waste not one more minute and head down to San Clemente Muni. Otherwise, maybe I'll run into ya some other place, some other time.

This place is not for everyone; certainly not the yuppie OC exec who needs to "work in a round of golf" before his eyebrow waxing appointment!

Home course. William Bell design. Never had a bad experience.

I play this course on a regular basis. As a San Clemente resident I am proud to call it my home course. The fairways and greens are well kept, the tee boxes are in good shape considering the roughly 95k rounds that are played annually. Pacific Ocean can be seen from every hole! Average round is 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hours. When the sun is shining and you are with friends, nothing else matters.

CXourse was crowded, no marshalls, Fairways and greens good, tee boxes level but overall play slow

Wonderful value at a friendly golf course. It's not a brutal course, but the greens make it tricky!

I play at San Clemente at least once a week. It is a great walking course, with enough difficulty to be fun. I typically play with friends and we all have the same view of the course. It is rare to find such a great muni course, with ocean views, and in such good condition.

Course gets very heavy play but is well maintained. Very close to ocean (with ocean views) and in the summer it's 10 degrees or more cooler than courses as nearby as 10 miles. I'm fortunate to live in San Clemente (right next to an upscale course, Talega) and I play San Clemente 10 to 1 over Talega because of the value and the restaurant/clubhouse. I love it.

I played early on 9/13/08 Sunday and found the staff to be helpful. This is a friendly golf course, with a beautiful view of the ocean. Greens were better then average that broke to the ocean. There was a challenging par 3 at 205 yards from the blues over a canyon followed by a tough dog leg left par 4 over another canyon. The pace of play was 4hr 15 min. This is a great course for the money. With a new club house and facilitates. I can not wait to return.

This course is less than a mile from the ocean. Has ocean views on several holes. In summer nice onshore breeze. In winter often times overcast. This is a very popular course and the best tee times are often taken by the locals. Back nine is challenging with fairly hilly terrain. Most if not all greens slope to the ocean. Kikuya fairways, so rollout is minimal. No water on course. Houses on all fairways, but a nice track.

Nice track for a Muni, few holes on the back nine have a view of the ocean
