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 price if you have 5.5 hours

Played this course today for the first time. Arrived and there were no carts available. Once we teed off there were major backups. Definitely the longest round of golf I’ve ever played. Also, the group behind us (specifically a guy in a bright yellow cart) hit into us 3 times. No ranger out on the course to speed up play and only saw the cart girl once. Not a fan of how the place is run. Slow greens as well. But it is in decent shape and for the money it’s not bad. I would play again if pace of play was sped up. Just be weary of a loooong day.

Nice course layout

Visually the course is very nice to play, when I played, the course itself was not in the greatest shape. The greens and fairways were not that great, but overall, the course was in pretty good condition and if you go and play in the afternoon, the pace of play is great because there’s hardly anyone out there! Just expect to pay a little bit more because of where it is, in a private resort area!

Great round course and staff

First time playing Clearwater, 5 guys and they let's us play as one group no pace issues by us or anyone around us.
Train runs through the course cool feature, spoke to Mike about the train turned out to be the Manager and he came back and bought us a round of drinks.
Would definitely recommend Clearwater.

Slow pace and slower greens

Pace of play was over 5 hours. Most holes had groups standing and waiting to tee off. Then it was like a shooting gallery of people hitting in to you from all directions. Not my type of course. Won’t be back.

Fun, Challenging Course

Played here on a recommendation. Excellent value at a good price. Greens were in good condition. Some of the fairways and tee boxes could've used a little love but overall great course to play. Incredibly friendly staff. Can't wait to return
