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.

No Disappointments here.

Great golf experience top to bottom. The course was fun and challenging with a beautiful layout and great conditions. Greens were firm and fast. Just loved it. Pace was a bit slow bc there was a tournament running but cleared out on the back nine.

Good course BUT!

1252 tee time didn't get out till 135, not enough cart, how can a course that pushes that many people through everyday not have enough carts! 2nd time this happened. They book for 7 min between tee times, and don't have enough carts. Then hole #4 always a back up, there were 4 4somes waiting to tee off when we pulled up and no Marshall on the course. This just backs up the rest of the 1st nine. Course is in good shape, but 5 and a half hours for 18 is to much. If yohr willing g to play slow and not tee of on time give it a go.

Pace of play

Needs a Marshall on the course to speed up play.

Not a good idea to let a single and twosomes play separately when it’s busy. Please combine players. Will be a perfect golf experience.

Tight course

Be prepared to have balls flying in all directions. We have played here several times but this week was especially “dangerous”. No one is yelling “fore” and balls are flying. It could have been the day where there were more high handicappers on the course.

Very slow pace of play and poor green conditions

Round took over 5 hours due in big part to five and six golfers being allowed to play in several tee time groupings. Greens not well maintained.

Awful staff

Had a tee time at 250pm, arrived about 20 mins early. Paid and brought my receipt to the starter( as the guy in the Pro Shop told us to do) the starter tells at us in front of a bunch of other golfers waiting. He says “ we don’t have any carts so get in line!” 30 mins after our tee time he yells our groups name, Finally gives us carts and walks away! Place was packed, very poorly ran!

VALUE for the course

Clwtr CC is priced way, way above where it should be. Played there today. The paspalum greens are bumpy like they were never aerified. The bunkers are nice. The fairways are sparse, the rough is very rough, like dirt. They are apparently not investing in maintaining the course, but packing it with snow birds to squeeze every dime they can. Generally, I give this course a C. Slightly worse than Crescent Oaks because the layout is so dumb (railroad tracks run right thru the middle, and the course borders VERY busy streets). When we left, the parking lot was packed, people lined up on the tee waiting for carts. They're making their money, but I won't be going back until the price is more reasonable..... like about $35.
