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.

Below average facility

Slow play. Old men hitting into you. No available facilities at 18th hole. Small driving range. Rock hard in many places. Awkward boring layout. Unattractive course. Super fast greens

Average course, friendly people

We played on a Monday, so there was no food available in the restaurant. I didn’t see a mention of that on the web site. Everyone was super friendly, but the course played painfully slow. Hit a shot…wait…hit a shot throughout the round. I’d love to see a few flowers to make the course more attractive.

Just okay

Front nine had some strange dressing on the greens. Back nine was much more playable. Better markings to find next hole would be helpful. The starter didn’t seem to know what was happening. Disappointed for the money.

Great Local Course

Great for locals has just enough challenges. If your expectations are Doral or private course conditions then you will be disappointed.

Not great managment of players

Course was in decent enough shape, though you are often being hit at in all directions--perhaps the result of it being an old course.

My main issue was how the tee times were managed. Major backups all day since twosomes, threesomes, singles, and foursomes were just thrown out there without much logic.

I was in a twosome and it took us over 5 hours for a round. No one was playing slowly, per se, but it's up to the course to pair up people properly and preserve a good pace of play.
