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.

PUT THEM ON HOLD

Disappointed that people calling in took priority over those standing in line. One caller wanted to know when he was golfing the next day and who he was with. Should have been put on hold!

Pace of play very slow

Friday afternoon 18 holes took 6+ hours. Tee time booked too close together. Single players were forced to ride golf carts with each other; no consideration for precautionary actions to mitigate spread of virus (i.e., no cleaning supplies between use of cart, masks were not worn by employees, etc.).

felt like a waiting room

I expect when I am paying for something that the employees will appreciate the business. Put simply, McDonalds is good at this, and the starter was not. That was a minor setback however. We spent most of the day standing around and waiting. Several groups of 6, 7 and 8 players had been allowed to go out ahead of us. I had not seen this before, and of course it slowed play like I had not experienced before. The course does seem to be crowded into a property not large enough to have 18 holes. It was common to see players from other holes in our fairway because it was so tight. There are greens and tees that have wire fences around them so you don't get beaned. Again, I had not seen this before but it was needed here because of the tight space. The weather was perfect however.

Foul play

Arrived early and told they didn’t have carts available. The starter let a group of 7 off in front of us. Saw a group of 9 on one green. Slow play and rude employees. Avoid this place.

Nice course with very friendly staff. We really enjoyed it and it didn’t cost a fortune to play. I will play this course again in a heartbeat.
