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.

$200 per golfer not worth it at all

Course is in terrible shape. All hard pan, very wet fairways, what a joke.

Played 3 times in area. This course was most expensive. The pro shop was good. The course was in good shape but layout was pretty ordinary. I would recommend other courses first.

Dreadful condition

I actually liked the course layout but the condition of the fairways was probably the worse I have ever played and I have been playing frequently for over 30 years .

Sone of the fairways reminded me of a poorly ploughed field .

In my opinion they have no right to take our money to play this course . They should shut it down until the damage can be rectified .

Nice but expensive

For the price, the range balls should be included + a couple of drinks.

2nd chance same review

I want to like this course as it is located in a great area. Sadly this course needs a complete overhaul. It’s just not up to par with anything else in the area. It’s in need of a redesign and new course management

Decent

Ok course but like much of Naples public golf, overpriced. Average course conditions at best. May go back only because they aren't many good options.

No so great Today

The East course is better but the south fairways were very wet, especially first 3 holes. Greens on the slow side.

Not at It's Best

South course fairways were wet and seem to be always wet. Greens were furry and slow. East course better. Good value as a hot deal at around $75. Staff is terrific, range was ok.

Not Up To Par

I’ve played all four 9’s in the past, and conditions were previously much better. The North course was the most disappointing. Several tee boxes were chopped up and/or not level. The fairways were thin, and where there was more grass, they cut too low. The greens were ok, but many of the golfers are too lazy to fix their ball marks. I probably repaired an average of 3 or 4 ball marks per hole. The South course was in better condition. Although all SWF courses are now ridiculously over-priced, Spanish Wells is a more reasonably over-priced course.
