Clear Lake Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Clear Lake Golf Club, and which hole should I look forward to?

You'll quickly discover that water is your biggest adversary here, especially on the back nine. We love the par-3 14th; it demands a precise carry over a significant portion of Clear Lake itself, making for a truly memorable, and often nerve-wracking, shot.

When is the absolute best time to play Clear Lake Golf Club for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

For the best experience, we always recommend late spring or early fall - the foliage is stunning, and the summer humidity has either not arrived or has already departed. Aim for a weekday morning tee time; you'll enjoy a more relaxed pace and the lake mist often adds a beautiful, serene start to your round.

Is Clear Lake Golf Club worth the green fee, and what can I expect beyond the course itself?

Absolutely, it's a fantastic value for the quality of golf you get, especially considering the pristine lake views on nearly every hole. Beyond the challenging layout, you'll appreciate the well-maintained practice facilities and a friendly clubhouse staff who make you feel right at home.

What makes Clear Lake Golf Club truly unique compared to other courses in the region?

What sets Clear Lake apart is its seamless integration with the natural environment; you're not just playing golf, you're immersed in it. Keep an eye out for the resident ospreys and deer, especially around holes 7 and 8, which truly elevate the experience beyond just a round of golf.

What's one crucial piece of advice for someone playing Clear Lake Golf Club for the first time?

Our top tip for first-timers is to prioritize accuracy over distance, especially off the tee. Many fairways narrow significantly around the 250-yard mark, and stray shots often find the dense tree line or, predictably, the lake itself - so play smart, not just long.
