South/East at Spanish Wells Country Club
About
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.

Golf course or backyard? Photo submitted by Jimmy3044469 on 06/14/2018
SLOW but Friendly
Perfect for those retired that have no where to go and can't the ball too far. I played South and East. Greens were running about a 6 -
North Course - 9 very questionable
3 holes were better designed for frisbee golf! Huge doglegs, directional markers that were not visible from the greens. Maybe fun if you would play a three club challenge.
Poor conditioning, very helpful staff
We arrived only to find our reservation was not in their system. This is more likely a GolfPass issue. I showed them the confirmation email and they got us out on the course. They were apologetic and helpful. So I give the staff 5 stars.
But the course conditioning is poor. The fairways inconsistent turf, 50% weeds. The greens were very bumpy. I’d pay $60 max for that golf experience. One star for the golf.
East & North Courses
Very nice course...we played East and North. The #1 handicap is a challenge with a narrow fairway between water on both sides. The other holes were very fair on both courses. North course requires "course management" with an interesting/strategic layout. The fairway and rough grasses were very professional groomed and easier for iron/wedge shots than many other courses in Florida. Staff was great...very friendly and welcoming.
We played the North-South course
The blues yardage is deceptive as to difficulty . The 4th hole on north tee box shoot was impressive
Challenging but fair golf course
Course was in good condition and enjoyed the layout. Challenging with water on many holes. Greens were in good shape.
Needs significant investment
I am puzzled by positive reviews of this course. Honestly, it is not worth paying more than about $60 and we paid $130. Tee boxes were full of weeds and not properly cut. Fairways were similar. Hard and lacking proper maintenance. Greens were slow and bumpy. Very disappointed. On the positive side, the staff were very helpful and friendly.
Nice Course, pace of play slow
Golf in FL this time of year is expensive. Course was in reasonably good shape. Staff was friendly and very attentive. Place of play was slow. Should not take 4 3/4 hours to play 18 holes.
