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.

Slow play

The course is generally not in great shape but it's not the worst either. Tee times are overbooked. A group of 7 were ahead of us, making our round over 5 hours long. This is unacceptable.

Very slow play

We had a 2 PM tee time, but did not get out until 2:40 or so. Extremely slow pace of play and we were only able to get in 16.5 holes before a staff person came by and told us we had to get off the course. My friend was on the green and he was not allowed to putt out. The course has a number of holes that run next to a street so stray shots must be a menace for people living around the course. An upside was that John Daly was making the turn before we got started.

No carts avsilable

Teed off at 2:15 but had to wait half for a cart. Didn't get to finish our 18 holes before it got dark at 6ish. Very busy but good course. Somewhat challenging for a newbie.

Vacationing mid handicap player from CT

Enjoyed the course despite the cool 50 degree weather. Greens were faster than what I am used to in CT. Will definitely play here again when I’m in the area.

Tight greens and decent shape

Overall the course was in decent shape. The greens are tight/small but in good shape. The tee times were behind 20 minutes as they were letting out club members. Overall the pace of play was decent. Fairways were decent as well as the tee boxes. A little pricey for the type of course but it is prime time for play. Staff in nice and so are the accommodations. A lot of back and forth on the holes on the front nine so watch out for the wayward shots. I will play CCC again, especially in the summer when the prices go down.

Pace of Play

The course was in OK shape but the layout was somewhat hazardous the way some tees and greens are located. The pace of play was terrible. Will not be playing this course again.
