Clearwater Country Club
About
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.

Absurd policies
I had a 3pm tee time on a Friday. When we arrived an hour early we were told they were running about 15 minutes behind. The reason was they booked the course so tight they didn't have enough carts for the golfers. When our tee time came they still had 4 fourso mes they were waiting on carts for, not enough to keep golfers moving g at steady times, creating many bottlenecks on the course. We finally get out and at the turn about 515pm the entire facility wS locked up and closed other than 2-3 guys collecting carts as they came in. There were still a lot of people on the course both ahead and behind us. No access to bathrooms, no bar or restaurant. When asked if we could use the rest room the answer we got was sorry locked up nothing g we can do.. what a disappointment! Then they send a guy out to start pulling flags so you had to leave the course. We played 13 holes that day, no rain check or discount just take the money and run. If you wNt to finish at this course don't book a time before noon-1pm, don't expect any amenities after 5pm they lock up and leave there paying g customers abandoned on the course with no concern for there comfort or well being..if there were a medical emergency it could be devastating with no access to the club house or the facilities. Bad customer service with an uncaring attitude from the staff this course should be a negative 5 stars, completely dissatisfied and unimpressed with the whole experience
Too expensive for the quality
Golf course dangerous to received balles from other players.
Decent day
Played here a couple times and courses always in good shape..the only complaint is that the people seem to not appreciate you as a customer.. I always feel like a bother and just trying to play a round.. was thinking it was a bad morning for them until I went back a couple and same thing.. just not a people person I guess..
Great Track!
Any course good enough for PGA Golf Legend John Daly is good enough for me!
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.
2nd time playing the course as we played it last year
we had a 1:45 tee time and they were running about 30 to 40 minutes late. didn't have enough carts to go around. we like the course and would play it again. greens really fast and challenging
Great condition
Course was in great condition, fairways are tight but overall really enjoyed it
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.
