About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Slow play
There weren't enough golf carts and as carts came off 18 they were reprocessed for players going off on 1. There were backups on every hole as many as 2 groups ahead of us waiting on the tee box. The problem was there was no organization from the club....no marshal on the course trying to speed up play. There was also no beverage cart on course, poorly run club. I cant believe John Daly calls this his home course. We saw him come off 18 while we were waiting on out 12:30 tee time.
Decent greens and tees
Compared to other course in the area like this one the best. Nice layout and greens, tees & fairways ok
Need to play early if you want to get around in four hours. Later is a 5 hr or better and available of carts is a problem. The day we played they ran out of carts at 11 and people had to wait.
Average Course
Nice course, tee times are between 4-5 minutes apart which caused delay of over 1 hour as a result couldn't finish the round.
Not a 4 star course.
Expected more for the price. Greens are really thin.
horrific pace
I’ve always liked this course and they’ve actually got it in better shape than I’ve seen it in a long time but the staff actually told me they purposely over Book and if you don’t like it go somewhere else… Our tea time was 111 and we didn’t get done with the front nine until after 430… I’m accustomed to playing slow rounds this time of year But nearly 3 1/2 hours to play. The front nine is ridiculous. Count me out never recommend this place to anybody.
Friendly Place
Tees have taken a beating. Don’t understand how a par 5 could have that many divots on the tee box. The greens that were good, were very good. But there is a definite lack of ball mark repairing on some holes. Fairways (that I saw) were ok.
Price is very steep for quality of the conditions, but it is the high season. That said, I’m playing again next week due to lack of tee time availability on other courses.
Decent day
Played here a couple times and courses always in good shape..the only complaint is that the people seem to not appreciate you as a customer.. I always feel like a bother and just trying to play a round.. was thinking it was a bad morning for them until I went back a couple and same thing.. just not a people person I guess..
Improving
The condition of the course has improved. There are some congested corners where you need to be alert, but that’s part of the charm too.
They’re constantly overbooked
Tee time was for mid afternoon. Didn’t tee off until 50 minutes behind my tee time. Would’ve played 18 but it was dark by the time 9 was over. Need more carts or to book less times so the course isn’t overwhelmed.
