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.

Not good currently

Course is not in good condition

Tee boxes are long

fairways are dry and have minimal grass

Many weeds around the greens

The greens themselves have sand all over them. Some greens have many ball marks that have not been fixed.

I liked playing this course previously but in its current state, I would not play here again

Overpriced

The staff was amazing, with that being said. Charging 70 dollars to play this course, in the condition it currently is in. Is a war crime and should be treated as such. It’s not worth anything more than 30. Absolutely horrendous.

Course was in condition. However, noticed prices have not come down with the Summer season so the only way I can afford to golf her is to get a hot deal on GolfNow.

Not enough bang for the buck

For $ charged for summertime, the course should be in better condition. Fairways are mostly mowed weeds and quite a few holes have huge dead spots.

Avoid this alleged Golf Course

This course needs a facelift as well as new management. After 3 hours for 9 holes enough was enough. Patrons behind us were leaving because of one slow group in front of us. The group was playing at snails pace and did not even acknowledge when confronted. At the turn I approached the starter and let him see for himself the groups pace of play. When he failed to address we simply left. Not only is there no policing of the course, but the course is like playing in a mowed field. Stay away from this course as you are wasting money.

Ok

Just ok golf. Cramped layout. Overpriced. There's a lot better options for less around. Greens are nice and carts are new.

Goat Track

The course had a cart path only policy in effect the day I played. That would insinuate maintenance or other conditions on the course were under improvement.

There was no indication any maintenance was underway. A vast majority of the Fairways were more dirt and weeds than they were grass. Bunkers had not been raked in any regard. Only upside of course were greens that rolled slow, but consistent.

Given the abundance of golf in Florida, I never plan on playing this course again.

Poorly maintained other than the greens

Very poorly maintained fairways and rough. Lots of sand/sea shell left and right of practically every fairway. Not worth the price tag by any means. The pace is so so, the greens are pristine though

Better than I thought.

I’ve drove by this course so many times, but never played it until now. I wasn’t expecting much but it was a much better layout than I thought. I played the tips and it’s not a long course. It’s a fun scoreable course though. The fairways were pretty decent, the tee boxes, and the rough around the greens could use a little work. The greens on the other hand were very healthy rolled very true but they could’ve been just a little faster. There is 1 tee box with a green on each side of it, both of them not far away. on the back nine. I can’t remember which hole. Not just dangerous but goofy. I played in just 3 hours. I think I got lucky with timing. Either way the course is very nice and well worth it. I will definitely be back to play again..
