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.

Save your money until they fix it

You're told up front there are 3 temporary greens. You're not told there are 3 other greens that have just been installed and are squares of sod which allow no roll and if you it it hard enough, you can only guess where it is going to go.

They don't tell you that several of the greens are just in bad shape, showing why they are replacing the others.

They don't tell you the fairways are somewhere between barren dirt and waiting to be cut... nothing good about any of them

The only thing that is more embarrassing that someone would charge $40 a round for the condition of this course is the fact that I paid it.

Most courses close to do the work they are doing. This one should. Really gives Clearwater a bad name.

I have lived in ST Pete for 2.5 years, I play twice a week at many different courses between Bradenton and Innisbrook and this was by far the most disappointing...

Temp greens on the front 9 except for a handful of holes. Pretty tough conditions to play and really made a damper on the round. The course is usually in great condition so I’m sure it will be better when it’s done.

Greens under repair and spraying chemicals during play

3 greens were under repair and 5 were having new sand spread. it was a holiday and don’t understand why this work was being done in a holiday weekend. Chemical application with golfers present was a bit disturbing.

Can Be Better

It looks like this was a top notch course years back. The layout is fun. The condition was acceptable at best.. It is playable for all levels. From greens were poor, back were decent.

I think I set my expectations too high since it was a “country club”. It’s like Largo or the Landing just longer. Greens not in the greatest shape.,Sand traps were a little on the hard side.

Back 9 layout was better than front

Clearwater CC review

Cool old Florida Muni. A couple of temporary greens on the front as they are rebuilding them.

Could really use a course Marshall on a Sunday. One group driving nearly all the way up on the tee, all the way up on the greens.

Pace of play on the second nine was bad due to a foursome that needed to be pushed along.

Still a great course would recommend

Average at best

Course was short and straight. 2 greens were being rebuilt and had temp. greens in the fairway. Other greens were spotty. Not the most fun course to play.

The front 9 was very crowded. There is a cluster of several tee boxes and greens on the front 9 that are entirely too close together. Greens are in very poor condition.

The back 9 is much nicer. It is much more spread out, and the greens are in better condition.

My buddy and I stayed in Dunedin. Very convenient. We played 72 holes in two days. Play in the a.m. then H O O T E R S for lunch and do an afternoon re-play. A little pricy but re-play rate makes it worthwhile. Front nine greens had a few spots but should be good in a couple of weeks. My wish is all tee boxes could be as good as #1 and #10. Will definitely play again when in the area.

This is my favorite course

I like the space between the fairways. Each hole had its own challenges which makes it fun. U consider this my home course.
