About Clearview Golf Club
Clearview Golf Club features 18 holes of well-maintained golf, stretching out over 6,066 yards from the Blue tees and playing to a par of 70. The course is laid out with bentgrass greens and fairways, which provide a nice playing surface throughout the season. It's a relatively approachable course, but don’t let the shorter yardage fool you—strategic play is vital, especially on the par-4s and challenging par-3s. With potential for birdies and some tricky holes to navigate, golfers of all skill levels will find both enjoyment and challenge here.
What to Expect
While Clearview is playable for a variety of handicaps, a solid mid-handicap golfer will likely find it the most rewarding. Pay attention to your club selection, especially on the approach shots, as some greens are well-guarded and can lead to frustrating bogeys if you miss. The bentgrass surfaces roll true, so make sure to factor in those subtle breaks when you're putting. Also, watch out for the occasional trouble area, as some trees and hazards can sneak up on you if you stray off the fairway.
Fun Fact
Clearview Golf Club is known as the first course designed, built, and owned by an African American, John J. Smith, who opened its doors in 1948, making it a significant piece of golf history.
