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.

FORE!!!!

No effort whatsoever by this course to keep pace of play up. Additionally, lots of cross traffic on the holes means balls whizzing by all over the place, certainly not a place I’d bring a young player, too high risk of getting hit. These old folks down here don’t yell fore, and the tee box layout is borderline negligent given the ability of your average golfer.

Slightly disappointed

First time to Clearwater country club. Pace was slow. I would say 3 of the greens were too sandy. Tee boxes were decent. 1 hole looks like it had an alternate tee box set up and it was pretty squishy. Biggest complaint was slow pace of play. For the money I would say there are better options.

Good “old Florida” style course

I enjoy playing here. What it lacks in length and hazards ir makes up with exceptionally small greens. Your short game must be on target. Even though it was busy the pace of play moved along nicely. Good value for green fee.

Wet weather
Used cart

Very swampy

Many of the holes had very swampy areas. There were many areas of new sod so when that takes, that will help to make it look nicer. It is hard to believe you could have a course in Florida without drinking water stands, but this is one of those and there was no refreshment cart.

Will have to try again

My wife and I had a 10:45am T time, we were held up in the first hole for 10 to 15 minutes due to a groups of six and the started called the two threesomes. However they played together. Which wasn’t terrible but it held us up we should have been through 18 holes by 2:00pm as we had an afternoon appointment so we ended up cutting our game short and at $40.00 per person it was a costly 9 holes.

Course was good and flow for a links course however many cannot keep their ball in their fairway . This happens but almost hit a couple times .

We will go back to play again and hope to get all 18 hioles.

Not what I expected.

This course put the country in Country Club. Great staff, but the course was definitely underwhelming.

Worst course I’ve ever played

Terrible conditions. Worst place I’ve ever played. Country club shouldn’t be in the name because it’s far from it. Pics online don’t even come close to what it’s really like
