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.

As much golf as anyone could want

We played from the front tees at about 5400 yards because we're in our mid and late 70s. Fairways are wide enough, but greens elevation and small size demand great iron shots. Not happy that the restaurant closes at 3 p.m.

Course was in good condition. Tee boxes and fairways were average. They could use some work. Fairways had to many weeds. Greens were the best. They rolled good and were somewhat fast.

Average Florida Public Course

I played in the afternoon and it was pretty wide open. They are fixing a few tee boxes so some holes you will tee off farther up. This course is in average condition for a public golf course in this area. You can only expect so much for what your paying. Many of the holes are straight tee to green. Not a lot of water hazards. A few holes you have to tee off with less than driver or 3 wood to stay out of water hazard. This was my first time playing here and it wasn't that bad for a city ran course. All staff I came in contact with was friendly. Definitely one of the easier 18 hole courses I've played in the area.

They are doing a nice job keeping the course in good shape. As good as any public course in the county.

Stay Away

Who ever is managing this place has no idea what they're doing. The Rangers out there are making fun of the guy making all the decisions. They're having to enforce rules that make absolutely no sense and then blame it all on him. Can't remember his name maybe Mark or Greg or something like that....Aside from that the condition of the course is below average. Used to play here all the time but due to the current management I'll never play here again. Will be a big advocate against this facility as well.

Short, Tight Course

If you like old courses, you'll like CCC. Course Is a good shape considering the weather, the sand traps or another story. They either need to fill them in or add about 12 in more sand.

Course is in rough shape. About the only positive was the greens, which were very good. A lot of the fairways seemed to be mostly crab grass or bare dirt, tee boxes either beat up or being redone. I've played here before, but it's the roughest I've seen; it's been a couple of months since and it'll probably be a few more before I try again.

Great shape, slower greens

It's obvious they've done improvments to this course with more on the way. The course is in great shape; however, the greens were slow. I'm sure they'll speed up after they've healed from being aerated. I'll be back!
