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.

Pretty scenery but slow play.

I actually called the Pro Shop to see if they had a Ranger on the course. They said they would send someone out and they did. It didn't improve the pace - was very slow!

Pricey for sure

This course was a favorite in the past. But green fees are too much considering what you get.

Carts do not have GPS, no cart service at all, didn’t see a ranger anywhere.

Mediocre

All the staff we encountered were very friendly, informative and accommodating.

We teed off on time but fell behind due to slow play until a Marshall intervened and got groups ahead of us to pick up the pace. Total round 4 hrs 30 mins.

The course layout was average with a couple of tricked up holes. The distance between some tees were longer than some other local courses I have played. We paid $165 through Golf Now. At that rate, it is overpriced.

Needs water

With no recent rain the tee boxes were rough, the fairways need a good soaking to bring it back. Otherwise enjoyed the course and would play again.
