South/East at Spanish Wells Country Club
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
Spanish Wells
Not a bad place to play. Conveniently located. A little over priced for the conditions.
No one responds online!
I booked this t-time date for same day instead of filling day in error on my vacation in Florida. For 3 players at $470
I tried changing the date 10 min later but golf course said I had to contact golf now. I called them immediately and was put on hold for 15 min twice and no one ever answered. I tried emailing and got a can’t deliver response from google. Needless to say I didn’t golf there.
Golf now billed my card but I still have not reached them

Didn’t feel like a toon course
The course is in great shape. However it seems not all three nines are of the same quality. Playing east to north brought on a significant downgrade in course value/experience. The north course especially was disjointed, long distances between relatively bland or forced holes were the overall experience. Seems they would have been better off with a single championship course and an executive 9.
Tee time management was also pretty rough. Got in about an hour before tee time, yet we got our cart moments before our tee time & missed a chance at the range and practice green. We wound up waiting on the first tee for about 10 minutes post tee time. They then let off twilight golfers ahead of us on the back nine and we never got to finish due to this.
Nice public 27 hole course
In high season, it can be very busy. On this day, they ran out of carts but staff was quick to turn them over as players came in. We were not delayed. Pro shop and curb staff were friendly, eager and on point.
We played North and South courses. North is tight while South is wider with more water. Fairways and tees in good shape for high season. Greens the same. Have not played East but hear it’s the better of the 3.
Beverage cart was seen only once. Snack bar can be sketchy and can suddenly be sold out of items or simply closed. Range with floater balls on site. All in all, can’t complain as it’s surrounded by one high end CC after another.
Great staff, fun day
Enjoyable day. Staff is extremely friendly. Greens are in good shape. Tee boxes and fairways are in need of a lot of help. Still fun to play.
Horrible
Worst course EVER!!
Poor conditions and layout.
Poor practice facilities
Don’t play unless you have no option
Played 3 times in area. This course was most expensive. The pro shop was good. The course was in good shape but layout was pretty ordinary. I would recommend other courses first.
Dreadful condition
I actually liked the course layout but the condition of the fairways was probably the worse I have ever played and I have been playing frequently for over 30 years .
Sone of the fairways reminded me of a poorly ploughed field .
In my opinion they have no right to take our money to play this course . They should shut it down until the damage can be rectified .
Snobby Members
Felt like I didn’t belong. Members made it very clear that I shouldn’t be there.
Nice but expensive
For the price, the range balls should be included + a couple of drinks.
2nd chance same review
I want to like this course as it is located in a great area. Sadly this course needs a complete overhaul. It’s just not up to par with anything else in the area. It’s in need of a redesign and new course management
Decent
Ok course but like much of Naples public golf, overpriced. Average course conditions at best. May go back only because they aren't many good options.
No so great Today
The East course is better but the south fairways were very wet, especially first 3 holes. Greens on the slow side.
