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.

New Management Company

I have been playing this course for about 4 years. This iwas my first time this year. A new management company took over this course about 2 years ago and since than the course has gotten from great to one of the worst in the area. They continue to raise the price to both the public and members. It appears they haven't reinvested back into the course. I will not be returning anytime soon.

Nice course

We played the East and the North 9s.

The East is a nice course but the North is far nicer. The design is nicer in my opinion.

Iam looking forward to playing there again!

Wonderful course and fantastic staff!

This was my first visit to Spanish Wells, but it will not be the last. From the gentlemen who greeted us at the bag drop to the pro shop staff, everyone was kind and welcoming. Played with two members who treated us like we had been friends for a long time. The course was in great condition and the challenge from the East course transition to the North course had us challenged to think and execute good golf shots. I will certainly be back!

Nice layout.

Nice layout. Couple tricky holes where course knowledge would have helped. Greens rolled smooth and true but still soft enough so they held approach shots. Tee boxes good condition. Some fairways had some bare spots. Friendly staff. I’ll play again.

Another Fun Round

Staff all very friendly and helpful. They need more golf carts, as we had to wait for a cart for our afternoon round. Takes away from practice time,
