Feather Sound Country Club
Feather Sound Country Club in Clearwater, FL, provides an 18-hole parkland-style golf course that balances approachable play with strategic challenges. Mature oaks, water hazards, and subtle terrain shifts create an engaging round suited for golfers seeking a classic course steeped in thoughtful design and quiet beauty.
Course Overview
Feather Sound Country Club, located in Clearwater, Florida, offers an 18-hole championship golf experience framed by gently rolling fairways and mature oak trees. As a private club, Feather Sound is designed to provide a serene yet challenging environment that balances playability with strategic demands. The course’s layout emphasizes shot-making and precision, rewarding golfers who can thoughtfully navigate well-placed bunkers and contoured greens. The relatively flat terrain allows for an accessible walk for players of all ages and skill levels, while subtle elevation changes and water hazards bring added variety and depth to the game.
This course belongs to the parkland style, where manicured fairways contrast sharply against natural wetlands and lakes that come into play on several holes. The landscaping encourages a quiet focus, with consistently maintained turf and mature vegetation creating an inviting backdrop without distraction. Wind can occasionally factor into club selection, especially on the more open holes nearer the middle of the round.
Feather Sound’s playability is tailored toward an audience that appreciates a classic, traditional golf setting with moderate challenges rather than extreme length or aggressive risk-reward designs. The course tests accuracy and short-game strategy more than brute power, making it approachable while still providing a satisfying test for mid- to low-handicap golfers.
Beyond the course itself, Feather Sound Country Club features well-equipped practice facilities including a driving range and putting greens that enable players to fine-tune their skills before teeing off. The clubhouse serves as a comfortable hub, supporting both social and competitive gatherings with dining and event spaces that reflect understated elegance.
Walking the course is encouraged, with well-manicured cart paths offering easy footing. The overall ambiance invites players to engage with the course thoughtfully, enjoying a full round that melds natural tranquility with golf’s subtle challenges. For those privileged to play, Feather Sound Country Club represents a polished, rewarding Florida golf experience rooted in tradition and quality.
Course Highlights
The club’s parkland layout integrates mature oak and pine trees that frame each fairway, while several holes play around natural freshwater ponds, requiring careful shot placement. Signature holes include a challenging par-4 with a narrow landing area guarded by bunkers and water down the right side. The well-maintained practice range and putting greens support a comprehensive pre-round warm-up, and the classic clubhouse provides a refined environment for post-round relaxation.

What a stunning event space. I truly enjoyed getting to capture a wedding here at the Country club! The venues grounds are unmatched for wedding photos. There are so many little nooks on the property that make for a beautiful backdrop for my couples! Can't wait to photograph more weddings here in the near future!

Spectacularly conditioned course with a large number of excellent holes - I was a guest and I don’t think it’s super easy to get on, likely hence the conditioning, the range and putting green seemed as though they were fit for pro’s to play on albeit they would have made light work of the course which is far better suited to amateurs. The pro-shop and clubhouse facilities seem fairly underwhelming and we were disappointed to find nothing open by 5.30pm when we finished our round, hoping the pro shop was open for some souvenirs which is wasn’t despite the fact there must have been 7 members of staff waiting for us on finish to help with clubs etc. The guest green fee felt a little steep at $250 and the $60 credit card fee for the 4ball was verging on obscene, but the course is well worth playing if you can get on.

My sister and I walked in one day, unannounced and without a scheduled meeting. They happen to be replacing th carpet that day, and Francine greeted us, unexpectedly, and invited us in. We had a celebration of life for our mom, and everything turned out perfect. The planning with Francine and Anna was excellent. They were so accommodating. The event was perfect. Food was excellent. The staff was awsome. Hailey was a great bartender. Sam was excellent as the Banquet coordinator. And the staff tending to the buffet was so in tune. I wish I knew their names. I can't say enough. It was an awsome experience all around. My next event will definitely be here.

Beautiful wedding venue, amazing food/drink, and the BEST wedding coordinators. Ciara and Francine were with us every step of the way. They were incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and responsive before the wedding and ran such a smooth event the day of. Everything ended up EXACTLY what we expected and more. Can’t say thank you enough to the entire staff for making our day absolutely perfect. 10/10 would recommend!!!
