very special," says PGA General Manager
Robin Shelton. "The best thing about the
golf course, to me, is that you learn
something new each time you play. You
discover another strategic way to play a
hole, or a better target to aim at on a green
for a makeable putt."
While each hole has its own identity,
Shelton's favorite is the 500-yard, risk-
reward par-5 finishing hole.
"It's one of the best holes you'll ever
play," he said. "How you play each shot
gives you a new option for the following
shot. The drive features a lake to the left
and bunkers to the right. The second shot
then gives you a chance to go for the
green over water, or navigate the hazard
on your approach. And the green is one of
the most strategic on the course."
While the track is definitely a highlight,
SeaCliff prides itself on being a lifestyle
club and the relaxed coastal community is
mirrored by the mentality of the
membership.
"What I love most when I ride around
the course is that I could see myself being
a part of each group playing," he says.
"Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
It really is a membership full of friends
who love their club and their golf course."
As a Master PGA Professional, Shelton
says he's visited some of the top clubs in
the U.S. and he would "put SeaCliff at the
top of any list. Beyond a great golf course,
members want a club where they can feel
part of a community, deepen
relationships, and enjoy an incredible
culture with their friends. They want a
place where they can spend time with
people of the same interests. Members
enjoy the camaraderie and relationships
above anything else."
The club stages a host of events and
tournaments throughout the year that are
as much about connecting members with
one another as the golf, such as the GM
Cup, Scramble Skins, and the VZ Cup.
In addition to golf, SeaCliff offers a
fitness center, pool, sauna, steam rooms,
16 tennis courts, a driving range, men's
and ladies locker rooms, and formal and
casual dining, where you'll find one of
Shelton's favorite dishes.
"The best thing on the menu is The Cliff
Dog, which celebrates the history of the
city," he said. "Though oil created the first
boom for the city in the early 1920s, in
1925 Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku
brought the sport of surfing to Huntington
Beach. In honor of that, The Cliff Dog was
created, which is blackened Mahi Mahi
served on a Hawaiian hot dog bun."
