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.

Not right now...

Course is in repair mode currently.

#9 is always lousy design but ...

Back 9 construction on #12, #16, #18

That's 3 holes of the18. It really detracts from

the course's usual high rating.

So,,not right now

Spend 50 bucks to play the front nine twice and wait on every hole in the blistering heat. No thanks...

No mention is made by the golfnow site that this is currently a Nine-Hole course due to town construction project on the back nine. You play the front twice. Pro-shop said it will be nine holes for the next 6 weeks.

Not Good. Not good at all.

Course conditions were about as bad as I've seen in area. Tee boxes and fairways were just terrible - lots of weeds. The pace was horrible - no ranger to be seen. Staff was nice enough. The fees were reduced from 70 to 60 as we had to play front 9 twice. Even with the reduction in fees it was outrageously overpriced. At best, ion it's current state things a $25 to $30 course.

Not good currently

Course is not in good condition

Tee boxes are long

fairways are dry and have minimal grass

Many weeds around the greens

The greens themselves have sand all over them. Some greens have many ball marks that have not been fixed.

I liked playing this course previously but in its current state, I would not play here again

Overpriced

The staff was amazing, with that being said. Charging 70 dollars to play this course, in the condition it currently is in. Is a war crime and should be treated as such. It’s not worth anything more than 30. Absolutely horrendous.

Course was in condition. However, noticed prices have not come down with the Summer season so the only way I can afford to golf her is to get a hot deal on GolfNow.

Not enough bang for the buck

For $ charged for summertime, the course should be in better condition. Fairways are mostly mowed weeds and quite a few holes have huge dead spots.

Avoid this alleged Golf Course

This course needs a facelift as well as new management. After 3 hours for 9 holes enough was enough. Patrons behind us were leaving because of one slow group in front of us. The group was playing at snails pace and did not even acknowledge when confronted. At the turn I approached the starter and let him see for himself the groups pace of play. When he failed to address we simply left. Not only is there no policing of the course, but the course is like playing in a mowed field. Stay away from this course as you are wasting money.

Just ok golf. Cramped layout. Overpriced. There's a lot better options for less around. Greens are nice and carts are new.

Goat Track

The course had a cart path only policy in effect the day I played. That would insinuate maintenance or other conditions on the course were under improvement.

There was no indication any maintenance was underway. A vast majority of the Fairways were more dirt and weeds than they were grass. Bunkers had not been raked in any regard. Only upside of course were greens that rolled slow, but consistent.

Given the abundance of golf in Florida, I never plan on playing this course again.
