I'm going to be working in the Clearwater FL area for 3 weeks and bringing my clubs. Any recommendations on places to play 9 holes during the week and "don't miss" courses for 18 on the weekends?
Thanks in advance....

Bellview Biltmore, Bardmoor are decent courses; Innisbrook is right up the road in Palm Harbor.

Well, you could try Bardmoor as mentioned, can be pricey, but the rates just dropped. You can go to St. Pete and try Mangrove Bay, an excellent municipal course. There is also Lansbrook to the north.

Bardmoor is very good. Great greens one of my favorites. You can get on as a non-resident for under $50 after noon. Mangrove Bay is a good muni wide open and a bit short 6500 from the back you can play 9 holes before 7:30 for $11 after that it's $29. You might want to check out Fox Hollow in Palm Harbor. Bring your game. If your above a 10 hdcp I wouldn't recommend it. The US open qualifier was there a couple of years ago. Countryside Country Club is in Clearwater city limits. It's private but they do allow non members on durring the week. If you can get on Innesbrook Copperhead thats the best in the county. If you don't mind driving just north of Tampa (about 40 minutes from Clearwater) the TPC in Lutz is outstanding but pricy. Down south of the skyway bridge theres Stoneybrook very good. Or for a real treat drive 1 hour north to Brooksville to World Woods. 2 outstanding courses (Pine Barrons was rated something like top 40 in the country) and you can play for $40 on a weekday $60 on the weekends. When you get into town look for "The Golfers Guild". A free local publication in almost any pro shop for $$ off coupons on World Woods. I hear Lansbrook is in rough shape.
Have a good time in my hometown
