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.

Bait and switch

Called on 2-12-22 for a tee time on 2-14-22 and woman told me they do not have a 9 hole walking rate but to pay 34.95 per player for 18 walking, then walk 9 and receive a 9 hole walking rain check for another day. Made sense so my wife and I showed up and told Harrison McClimans in Pro Shop what the woman said on the phone. He, Harrison McClimans, said she should not say that but he would honor it and just come back after we play 9 for the rain check. After playing 9 holes he changed his tune and said no rain check. I argued that he just tricked me into paying the 18 hole walking rate to play 9 holes. Harrison McClimans is one belligerent guy who did not have the courage to just say no before we played the 9 holes. He credited me a lousy $10 and acted like he was making things right. Clearwater C.C. needs to review this guy and his way of treating the customer. Will never go back to this golf course.

A dog track

Take the other reviews to heed. This is a dog track course that is a money grab and they don't care.

Coughed up $50+ for a 5 1/2 hour round of golf. Around 6:30pm went to use the rest room after the round and the club house is locked tight. The Starter tells us to use the bathrooms on hole 6, where we learn that they are locked too!

Now the females in our group were not please, but apparently the starter found it amusing and oopps BTW the code is...

Tee boxes are packed mud, the greens are so fast it reminds me of the concrete surface on most miniature golf courses. Even if you get on the green, it's an automatic 3-4 putt.

Unfortunately, there are more snow bird golfers who just want to play a round, but don't do it at Clearwater CC, this course is a rip off.

Goat ranch quality…

$69-$65 per round is a very high price considering the conditions and the fact that they sold a monthly package for $170!

The golf course needs work.

The front 9 was not in good shape and the greens could use much better grass. The back 9 was much better.
