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.

Nice course for getting in a quick 9

The course overall was good. The first 2 holes had a temporary green, which we were not made aware of. All the other holes were in good shape for this time of year

Challenging nice course

We booked the course for a late afternoon tee time. In Florida it doesn’t cool down much in the afternoon. The course has been improved so much since we played a few years ago. The course is very challenging with narrow fairways and many dog legs. Overall the course was in very good condition. The employees were awesome and were very welcoming. The greens were slow but were in great condition. We loved the course and the surrounding neighborhood. We are playing it again this week. We played North and east courses. Great job Spanish Wells!

Pace of Play Slow vutNice Course

Found the pace of play a little slugish and we were backed up 70% of the time. Overall the course is well maintained and the staff is great. Just need to work on setting pace of play.

Had a great time playing this course. I’m not usually a fan of golf courses built in housing communities however it felt fairly open and was not as intimidating as some others I’ve played. The course conditions were incredible and the staff treated us like royalty from start to finish. Will play this course every time I’m in the area.
