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.

Smelly

Due to lack of rain, the ponds had dried up causing the entire course to smell like dead fish. We would not choose Spanish Wells again.

Impressed

First impressions of the staff were great. Everyone from the bag drop attendees to the Marshall were very professional and courteous. Overall the course was in amazing shape, greens were cut to perfection. I will be back to beat my score of 91. I played the South and East courses.

Good course, plays well

Great course easy to get to from the beach. Staff is friendly and course plays well, Greens a little rough but not bad. Course overall was decent especially at the end of a busy season.

Had a great round

Pace of play has never been better since I have played there. Got 18 done in 3 3/4 hours. Just made the game flow so well. Shot my best score this day. The only reason for the loss of a star on course conditions was due to a par 5 being cyst down to 291 yards on the East course. Just wish someone would have informed us about it. A little signage wouldn’t hurt either. The other cart with us never played here and was driving around looking for the tee box. I understand the need to do it due to the construction. Please let your guests know. We will be back still a fun course to play.
