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.

Course is very well maintained. The only complaint I have is there's not enough signs directing golfers from hole to hole, especially hole number 5, 6, 7. Don't play there real often so we got turned around several times and had problems finding the holes.

We wouldn't play it again

Pro shop placed us behind 3 groups which had weekly bets. We stood around most of the round - barely making it in before dark. it got extremely cold waiting.

Also - layout of the course is odd, with cyclone fencing between close tees and greens.

Save your money and play somewhere else

This course is in really bad shape. I was really surprised by what I saw. It’s advertised as a nice property but in reality it’s arguably one of the worst in the region. Management either refuses to hire enough crew to properly maintain it or they are just clueless. I still can’t believe what they are charging to play here.given the bad course conditions.

Overbooked and Slow

They booked tee times 5 minutes apart while they were having a kids tournament, waited at least 10 minutes per hole. Staff was rude, tried to force me to share cart with stranger even though I paid for my cart. Seemed to have the attitude that them overlooking the course (to increase profits) and being short on carts was my problem. Also the whole course was path only when it hasn't even rained recently, just an annoying day overall.

Not the best of conditions though perfect weather for weeks

The course was over seeded everywhere,. Most greens were not too bad considering how awful they have been over the last year. Almost no fairway grass. and the rough was mostly weed that would not support a ball.

Generally disappointed and will not go there again for a while. Hopefully it will get better and not worse.

Don’t waste your time or money

I’ll try to keep this short. Pace of play was the slowest I’ve ever seen. Patrons have zero sense of people behind them and lack all respect for the course. Took 45 minutes from hole 9-11 and called it a day as I didn’t want to take over 2 hours just on the back nine. Greens very inconsistent. Some are slow and soft and a few play fast. Was given a receipt to give to starter at first tee and no starter to be found. I wish I could say this could be a nice course but they would need a few million dollars before that could happen. 2 positives, I played decent and the guy who collects the carts was friendly. If you waste your time and money here don’t say I didn’t warn you.
