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.

Great course, long round

I really like this course, but both times i have played it, we are late teeing off and the round is at least 4.5 hours long. There appear to be no one monitoring the pace of play. I would play it again, but I'll pack a lunch next time.

lGood course and friendly club house

The greens are very nice but a little slow. The course is otherwise in great shape! It is a very good deal to pay to golf here.

Fun day

Fun day. Greens were slow but in very good shape.

This course was in better shape than the nearby, superiorly-designed Chi Chi Rodriguez course we played the next day Clearwater CC has some fun and interesting challenges, nonetheless.

We snowbirds will return to play it again next year!

The course is in good shape.

The Sunday pace of play teeing off after 1:00 pm was very slow. However, the course offers great value for the Clearwater area. It's in very good shape. Some holes are just a basic back and forth. Others offer interesting challenges. The greens are a bit slow, but they are mostly terrifically consistent. We will play here again plenty of times.

Great day at CCC

The course is very green and in good condition. The greens were slow, perhaps due to the rain the previous day. My only complaint is the greens were a bit bumpy in spots. We like golfing here because of its good conditions and very good value.
