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.

Good Golf Experience

Clearwater Country Club was a pleasant golfing experience. The fairways and greens were in good shape. The course challenge is about ball control with some narrow fairways and streets closely aligning with fairways on a few holes. There were two fairways under major repair and unable to play # 16.

My first experience when I first checked in I was asked to join with another player in one cart .I was not asked for an option but it l seems mandatory. I’ve been booking thru tee off all the time and this is my first experience -not a good one .I having second thoughts whether I like to play there again. You booked your tee time to play with your own cart to relax .

Convenient course close to the beach

Other than the course construction with one hole completely shut down and par 4’s turned into par 3’s it wasn’t to bad. Tee box locations are dangerous being so close together but what was playable wasn’t to bad. If visiting again and once done with course construction I’d try it again.

Bad Shape

We were not told that there were temporary greens when we booked. Some par 4 holes had been temporarily made short par 3 holes and the course was just in terrible shape. I was embarrassed that I booked for 4 people and did not know this.

CCC

Awful conditions - some greens had softball sized craters, fairways looked abysmal, and very inconsistent greens. The starter was gone all day and pace was terrible - the ‘rangers’ were 18 year old kids aimlessly driving golf carts around.

Clearwater CC rain check ?

Played fours holes. Waited out rain for 45 min. Course closed and would issue rain check. Rest of the afternoon was hot and sunny. Ok with closing course by why no rain checks.
