Located just minutes from the beach, the conveniently situated Clearwater Country Club sprawls across a coastal landscape of Spanish moss-draped trees and towering, mature oaks. Stevenson Creek meanders through the golf course, coming into play on six holes. Built in 1920, the layout has a traditional design that is challenging but fair. The course is tight but it plays long, especially on the par 5s. The rolling fairways are well manicured and the greens play at medium speed and are consistently well maintained. Clearwater C.C. actually has a reputation amongst locals for its superb conditions. It is also popular with visitors, snowbirds specifically, since the club offers the area's only seasonal and short-season membership with exclusive privileges. It is also one of the few clubs in the area that allows walking.

Terrific public course

The course was in good condition. I’m sure the greens will be faster as the weather warms up. It was interesting to hear that John Daly plays here often.

slow play

a very slow, almost 5hr round round. Having a short 2nd hole does not allow for the course to open up. There were multiple groups on the 2nd tee. Some holes are too close together, standing on a tee box while the group behind is getting too close with their approach shots.

Nice course but over-priced

Good location if you are on the peninsula. A little over-priced for the quality of the course. Greens were fast but a little bumpy, not real smooth. Definitely not worth $75

Course conditions

This public course see a lot of rounds of golf and the fairways and greens show it. Reasonably priced for the condition of the course.

Decent track

A pretty solid public course. Greens were on the smaller side and fast.

A non descript layout. Traps and boxes were fine. We played blue tees at 6200+. Like most courses now, make sure you have a range finder.

Good shape

Was here a year or two ago and it was diseased and lots of work being done. Glad to see it’s back to a good playable condition!

Incredible improvements!!!

I have played this course many many times. Female golfer, single-digit hcp. I have played the worst and some of the best. New to me was they flipped the 9’s. 1 is 10 and 10 is 1. I love it. As for the course conditions…. fairways are green!! Greens are excellent (folks please fix your divots; my rule, fix mine and one other). Back nine greens aerated but glad to see them in such great condition. Tee boxes are even green and growing! New carts!! Staff has always been friendly. Really happy for CCC and hoping these conditions continue. So excited to be playing here….again!! 5/5 for this golfer!

Not bad first time

I play weekly back home. This was a good course but as expected. Courses here should have their ammenities in order. Small things count. Driving range was average. Putting green was better except the obstruction in the middle of it. The course was nice. I would play here again. I am an 11.9 Index so it is a average test from the white tees.
