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.

Good Time in spite of threesome bailing

I enjoyed my time being paired with a young man named John. However, we were behind a slow foursome and could have started before them. The story is the threesome I was supposed to play with got their a few minutes before me and told the Starter they did not want to wait for me as they didn't know me. Thus they started at least two groups before our scheduled time and John and I had to play behind two other slow fourseomes.

Very rude!

Very nice course...but

Some sections of the fairways were cut too short and as a result burned out. Hitting off of dead grass is just hitting off of dirt. Too bad.. Liked 90% of the course.

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.
