Rating 73.6
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.

Another Fun Round
Was paired with two other singles. They were very enjoyable to play with.
Greens were in good shape. Course condition is not at the level of most Country Clubs, but very playable.

Just ok
Nothing stood out about this course, especially for a “Country Club”. Range was mediocre with poor quality balls. Course was in ok shape, had some really wet fairways on N/S courses that plugged balls. 4.5 hour pace of play.
I would rather pay a little more $$ and go somewhere like old corkscrew.

We enjoyed the course and the greens were in good condition. The course was a little wet making it difficult to hit on some of the fairways.

Played this course several times.
Last year the members on course were rude.
This time pace of play was so slow. We ended up skipping 5 holes just to get out of there.
