About
Located in the heart of southwest Florida, Spanish Well Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs offers 27 holes of championship golf amidst towering stands of palms and pines. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The South/East Course combines the longest of the three nines. Water characterizes the golf course, coming into play on nearly every hole. There are also strategically placed bunkers and a few tricky doglegs to watch out for. The layout presents a challenging, but fair test. The golf course finishes with one of the club's prettiest holes, a par 4 with mature trees that run along the entire right side of the fairway until they reach the lateral water hazard. Past the bunkered green, the clubhouse and the colorful surrounding flowerbeds serve as the backdrop.

Rain Check
I did not play because of the cold 45F
Can I get a rain check ?

Late afternoon round
Made a 3 PM discounted tee time as a single and was finished with 18 holes by 5:40 PM.
The course is in good shape, and the north course is especially nice. Firm greens with a good roll. It’s a decent value relative to some other courses in the price range.
A lot of water here, short holes, and not very forgiving — so hit em straight!
Enjoyable Experience
Nice course layout…not terribly long…plenty of tee box options.
Friendly staff…will definitely return.
Florida vacation play.
Course is overall a good place to play, the course could use some maintenance in spots. The staff is very nice overall a good course for the price to play.
Beware of the Turn
Booked first tee time of the day as a twosome. I didn’t do my homework and noticed when we got there Spanish Wells is a 27 hole course. Thinking it was 18 holes, my 85 year dad and I could enjoy early relaxing and fairly quick round. Front was just that. As we made the turn things slowed to a halt. 3 groups were in front of us waiting. I guess it’s my fault for assuming that we would still be the first group out playing the back. Paying $119 per person if fine with me if I know what to expect. This was unexpected. I feel we didn’t get what was payed for. There are plenty of nicer courses for less. Ibis Landing, $99. The National at Ave Maria $89. And even San Carlos, $89. Any day playing with your dad is a great day…But this seemed Busch League.
Very pleased with the day
Look forward to playing SW again as it presented challenges for me. The 3 nine hole courses ensure variability.
Really enjoyed the day.
Lunch at the pub was good as well.
Great Value
Great opportunities here in SWFL if you can grab this for $35 you can't go wrong
Great Value
No complaints..if you can grab this for $30..$35 I don't think you can beat it
Fun Track Requires Accuracy
This was my second time playing this course in as many weeks. The course is managed well. Fairways and Greens in good shape. Signage helpful. Marshall is on top of pace and even kept a group of locals who were unnecessarily complaining about pace from intruding. All in all, this was a fun experience.
Really Nice Course!!
My group was vacationing in Cape Coral, and we were looking for a nice course to play. Spanish Wells was a fit the bill perfectly. The fairways and greens were in good shape and the speed of the greens was fast, but not unfair. Plenty of water hazards on the course help to increase the challenge. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we played an additional 9 holes after the first 18. The clubhouse was well appointed, and staff was excellent. I would definitely recommend Spanish Wells GC.
