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.

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.

Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were bumpy and a bit untrue.

Lots of traffic noise around the course

Very nice course-pricey for nine holes

I have played here before and was bringing someone who has just learned the game. This can be a challenging course, but, not too challenging for a beginner. The staff was excellent from the Prop shop to the Course ranger! I paid $70 for two people for nine holes; a bit pricey in my opinion, but, when we got there it was very busy so I can understand why they get this price. The course was in very good condition, including the range to practice before we played.

Slow morning play

Don’t be fooled with an early 7:20 tee time. They are stacked up on the first tee with members that think they don’t have to keep up the pace. There is always a large group playing and they play army golf. Called the clubhouse and they came out but still didn’t talk to the group that was behind by 2holes.
