About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6733 yards
Slope 132
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.

Beautiful Course & Layout

Beautiful preserve with a wide, rolling golf course inside of it. Fairways & greens are nice & green. The ruff is a little bit thin with a few dirt patches. I guess that’s why they call it the ruff.

DO NOT RECOMMEND

Course conditions were atrocious. It was like playing off the surface of a wet sponge.

We are two mid range handicappers pairs with 30+ somethings. The pace of play was horrendous because of the mismatch pairing. No consideration for this fact. Price was high for the course quality and conditions.

Overall, I would NOT RECOMMEND Spanish Wells

East Course and South Course

The course had a good design and very nice soft greens. Plenty of water features and a good number of par 3 and 5’s. The snack bar was closed unfortunately but the staff was very friendly.

Golf Vacation

Great course. Quiet, good layout. Short but long enough. Could do better by speeding up pace of play. A twosome held up the group of 4 in front of us. A twosome should never hold up a slow playing foursome.

Great staff, fun time

We arrived and Scott at the club drop was fantastic. Told us the 2 respective nines we would be playing. The check in lady was as friendly as it gets. Great people that make sure you have a good time. Practice facility was great. We went off on time. Pace of play was a little slow, but it was Sunday at 9:22am. The course was challenging and fair at the same time. Some unique holes that test your skill along the way.
