Rating 72.6

Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs offers tennis and bocce courts, a fitness center, and 27 of the most picturesque holes in southwest Florida. The holes are divided into three nines: the North, South, and East; that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The East/North Course combines the longest nine and the shortest nine. Towering pines and palms as well as mature oak trees cover the entire course. Almost just as abundant is the water, which makes an appearance on almost all of the club's holes. The golf course begins with one of the few holes at the club where water doesn't come into play. Although trees line both sides of the fairway on this dogleg right par 4, the landing area off the tee is generous.

Welcoming and Well-maintained

Booked this for some friends and I while in town for vacation. We played the North-East course combo. North course had a fun layout and enough difficulty with lots of turns. East course was more straight forward, but was a good reprieve for our back-nine. The staff was friendly and welcoming to guests. Overall, I’d play here again in a heartbeat when I’m in town next.

Only knock was that our front-nine got a little backed up, which I expected with a shorter course like this one. I could see it getting slow in busy season, but still worth the $75/person to play a club course that is taken care of well.

Private course that allows someone public play.. Good but not great condition. Fun layout with lots of water. Bit of a drive from Naples but a really great value for the money compared to other courses.

The East and South are nice courses in great shape.

Unfortunately the course ranger would not encourage the 4 ladies groups in front of us to move along! The front nine was a 2 1/2 hour nine holes!

Thank goodness they only okayed nine!

Einfach tolle Löcher dabei, wie immer in Kursen in solchen Orten gab es ausreichend kurze Löcher, aber dafür auch viele richtige herausfordernde Löcher.

Wer die Chance hat, spielt diesen Platz,
