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.

Another Fun Round

Was paired with two other singles. They were very enjoyable to play with.

Greens were in good shape. Course condition is not at the level of most Country Clubs, but very playable.

Just ok

Nothing stood out about this course, especially for a “Country Club”. Range was mediocre with poor quality balls. Course was in ok shape, had some really wet fairways on N/S courses that plugged balls. 4.5 hour pace of play.

I would rather pay a little more $$ and go somewhere like old corkscrew.

First round of the new year

We enjoyed the course and the greens were in good condition. The course was a little wet making it difficult to hit on some of the fairways.

Bad pace

Played this course several times.

Last year the members on course were rude.

This time pace of play was so slow. We ended up skipping 5 holes just to get out of there.
