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.

Incredible improvements!!!

I have played this course many many times. Female golfer, single-digit hcp. I have played the worst and some of the best. New to me was they flipped the 9’s. 1 is 10 and 10 is 1. I love it. As for the course conditions…. fairways are green!! Greens are excellent (folks please fix your divots; my rule, fix mine and one other). Back nine greens aerated but glad to see them in such great condition. Tee boxes are even green and growing! New carts!! Staff has always been friendly. Really happy for CCC and hoping these conditions continue. So excited to be playing here….again!! 5/5 for this golfer!

First Time Playing

Not bad first time

I play weekly back home. This was a good course but as expected. Courses here should have their ammenities in order. Small things count. Driving range was average. Putting green was better except the obstruction in the middle of it. The course was nice. I would play here again. I am an 11.9 Index so it is a average test from the white tees.

Put on the Brakes

The pace of the front nine was super and finished in two hours! On the turn, course was backed up because the course let groups start on the back! At a multi/hole junction I noticed that a fivesome was holding up five groups! The only comment by the ranger was,”at least they are on the 18th hole.”

I enjoy these older courses but it appears that the fairways were heavily watered causing some balls to plug and greatly reduce distance! Excellent greens!

First Time Playing

Good track all around. would def play again

First time playing here. Teetime was 815 on a Sunday morning so pretty busy And it was nice that the starter didn’t pair us up with anyone.pretty tight course but things kept moving and never really had an issue with getting hit into except for the second hole because the back of the driving range was somewhat close to the tee box. I don’t blame the course for that. The guy should’ve known he can hit it that far and he clearly saw us.

Course conditions seemed on par for this time of year in Florida. A lot of tricky but fun greens with plenty of bunkers. If you can hit the ball long and straight off the tee, you’ll score pretty well here. Decent amount of water but nothing that can kill your round.

I would definitely play here again if I came back to the area. One thing I don’t see often in Michigan was the gave you portable bag coolers if you order drinks from the bar at the turn. They also had ice machine machines out on the course by bathrooms so you could refill the ice. Big plus that they had protein drinks and hydration powder packets in the bar as well so you don’t have to eat junk while you are playing. I purchased 2 16 ounce beers, a can of soda and a protein drink and it was only 13 bucks!

Overall, would recommend for golfers of all skill levels. Played with the GF and front tees are pretty generous so lots of opportunities for good scores for the “improving” golfers.

13 handicap and I shot a 88.

EARLY AM ROUND , late NOV 2024

Solid value. Greens and fairways 8/10

Tee boxes. 5/10

The reversing of front to back 9 is hard to understand the

Reason. GPS apps are all confused and some home signs don’t match actual yards. Lots of contrary reviews on this. Management should respond/ fix

Sunday golf

The course was in great shape. Greens were smooth and would hold a shot. Sand traps are well maintained.

Other than the 5 some playing ahead of us, it was a great outing. They were also in the process of switching the 9’s.

Fun track

The couse front & back nine were reversed for some reason but the course is in good conditions and the greens rolled nice.

I recommend playing there & have enjoyed playing the course for several years.
