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.

Enjoyable course to play

Found the course to be in very good condition considering the past hurricane. The greens played at a decent speed.The tee boxes could have been mowed lower. The sand traps were in good shape.The fairways were also in good playing condition. The one draw back was the condition of the golf cart. Could have used a wash job…a little muddy/dirty.

I will play the course again.

First Time

A great course that is well located near 75 and Tamiami making it easy to get to. The staff was very friendly and all carried a smile. The track is nice, played the East and North course. Lots of water but hey, that’s golf. Will definitely be back.

Nice course

Overall, I think it’s a good course. The greens were in great shape. No beverage cart, but there wasn’t much play so I get that. We had a threesome holding us up. Other than that, it was a good experience.

Not great

The course itself is just not very interesting, not kept in amazing shape (weeds in the fairway, overgrown tee boxes). However, for $35 (including cart), it's passable.

The practice area was my real issue. It was $5 to hit 30 cracked, limited flight balls, off matts (so can't practice tee shots) into water with no targets. A complete waste of time in my opinion. In addition, the putting and chipping greens weren't open. I got there 45 minutes before my tee time to warm up and found myself without anything to do once I realized the driving range wasn't going to do anything for my game.
