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
Okay course, pace slow
The course was in good shape and the starter was friendly, although the pace of play was rather slow with sometimes 3 groups on the same hole. The layout was fine but not memorable. I would play it again when in Clearwater Beach because there isn’t a lot of options near the beach.
nice day, average public course
Course needs TLC.
oh, and the greens are SLOW.
It is well run for set- up. Good starter.
Crowded Dirt Track
Too many groups, so much cross traffic on course I has PTSD after nine holes.
So darn slow
This course is poorly designed. There is one hole that 5 groups were on. If it is not busy the course I would be ok. Easy course. I would not play it during tourist season.
Great course
One of the best courses on the St Pete peninsula. The course is well maintained and is reasonably priced for the area. Plus as a bonus, you might see John Daly, who regularly golf's there.l
Needs some tlc
Greens are fair. The group ahead of us was 6 players in 5 carts. So the pace was slow. Greens and tee boxes in some areas are almost on top each other. Not worth the cost.
Nice course
Play behind a couple of 5 so we wait on every hole.
Smal hilly greens but in good condition. Fairways on last 9 do need some work but overall a nice course, will be back.
Ridiculously backed up
Took us an hour plus to play three short par 4 holes, two foursomes ahead of us as we got to 4, we bailed. They did give us a rain check to try again.
Bad Experience
Overall not good. Not enough carts so it’s like haggling with the starter to get a cart. Pace of play was horrible. Over 3 hours to play nine holes on a simple layout. Groups get stacked because of the lack of carts so you end up with 4 groups on the same hole. Quality of fairways and greens were poor at best. This course needs lots of work. The only highlight was seeing John Daly sitting on the patio at the end of our round when we returned to a locked and dark clubhouse at only 6:00om.
Very slow pace
Nice course. The day I played was so slow 2 groups in front of us quit after 4 holes! It moved faster on back but still took over 5 hours for the 2 of us.
Clearwater Country Club
It has been a few years since we enjoyed Clearwater's course. We enjoyed our round very much, but the biggest surprise was the drive on the 18th hole..... The trees were opened up and the green could be seen..... and targeted! It was a magnificent view. There remained a challenge but 18 has never looked so good! If you haven't been at Clearwater CC in a while....... you just have to see it for yourself!,,,,, and ENJOY all Clearwater has to offer!
Terrible rental sets
Called ahead of time to ensure they had a decent left set as my dad is a lefty and having a decent set of clubs is a big deal to try and play a round. Guy told me they had 5 decent sets and he would have the choice. Told me “no need to reserve” lefty clubs will be here. Paid 28$ for a rental set that looked about 20 years old. Half the clubs were dented and overly used. Told those were the best available and that we couldn’t go back and look. Tried asking the pro shop since I called the day before. Guy gives me a shoddy answer, doesn’t apologize for the inconvenience and says all rental sets are the same price. What’s the point of calling and asking about clubs if you show up and they give you awful clubs. I don’t plan on paying 250+ for three golfers and a rental set, just to sit and wait on every hole and play with an awful set. I’ll take my money elsewhere. At least next time be honest about the rental sets you have
