South/East at Spanish Wells Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Golf course or backyard? Photo submitted by Jimmy3044469 on 06/14/2018
Nice revamp
Played saltleaf for the first time since the remodel, nicely done challenging yet fair. Only 2 things I can have negative comments about
No sand just waste bunkers that have no challenge to and I’m not hitting my expense clubs out of limestone
Beverages are really pricey $10 bucks for a beer
Other than that I think I would play again but will stick to water.
Wet Season Iisues
All course now will have cart path restrictions during the wet season. Soggy but greens and T boxes very good. If you can grab this for about $30 it's a good deal.
Highly enjoyable course
The course is in great condition. It’s design is challenging in certain ways and open enough to enjoy driving. The greens are well managed with challenging pin locations.
The employees are all very friendly and it’s the best place for your money in Southwest Florida!
Good course
This is a pleasnt course which I found moderately difficult.They have improved this course a lot since 2 or 3 years ago.
Good value for the money.
Solid course
Played north/south... Was in good shape. Not too busy. Rough can be a little thick, so definitely keep it in the fairway. Consider playing hybrid tee boxes as seems to be some short holes. Overall, good value with hot deal.
Spanish Wells in excellent condition
Course was in the best shape I've ever played it. North/South were the two nines we played. The staff was off the charts nice. From the Director of Golf, the beverage stand, bev cart, and cart staff were exceptional. Really look forward to playing here again soon.
Good price, GREAT Staff
This was a "Hot Deal" so I tried the course. Course was good ... the staff was great. Was greeted at the bag drop and felt welcomed. Went to the Pro Shop to check in and the staff was super friendly. Would definitely recommend Spanish Wells!
Nice course overall
Greens were slow to begin with then sped
up over the day…
Welcoming and Well-maintained
Booked this for some friends and I while in town for vacation. We played the North-East course combo. North course had a fun layout and enough difficulty with lots of turns. East course was more straight forward, but was a good reprieve for our back-nine. The staff was friendly and welcoming to guests. Overall, I’d play here again in a heartbeat when I’m in town next.
Only knock was that our front-nine got a little backed up, which I expected with a shorter course like this one. I could see it getting slow in busy season, but still worth the $75/person to play a club course that is taken care of well.
First time
Great course employees couldn’t have been friendlier, especially Rich the starter.
