East/North at Spanish Wells Country Club
About
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.

Golf course or backyard? Photo submitted by Jimmy3044469 on 06/14/2018
OK Value
If you can find this online for under $35 not a bad value. Greens were punched about 2 weeks ago, fairways had some sort of aeration that left linear lines down the length of the fairway which the ball would fall into, not a bug deal but just an honest observation.
Pretty good value
This was either my first time, or first time in years playing this course. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Range balls were extra. It is the first aqua range I have been to that only had one green/target. Disappointing. The greens were in good shape and rolling well. Quite a few tees were closed and the tees in place were so short/confusing that I couldn't log a handicap round. There is quite a lot of water in play and a card with a layout would have saved me a ball or two. Should have used my GPS. Overall, it was a very good value and I would definitely play it again if the price remains reasonable.
Decent Course
Played North/East course. North was a little rougher with areas of sparse grass. Lots of doglegs, challenging. Staff was nice but main complaint is the Cabana closed before we made the turn. Had to go to the Pub upstairs which charged $19 for a hotdog and $21 for a bratwurst where they were $8 each in Cabana. Otherwise, the course was decent.
Getting better
This is a well laid out course with lots of challenges. The condition of the course continues to improve. This round they actually put out cold towels for us golfers-a nice touch.
Could still use gps on the carts. I will be playing it in the future, as it keeps getting better.
Great round of golf.
Course was great. Definitely would come back when the opportunity arises.
Could be a great course
This course has the potential to be a wonderful course. However, there are little things that need to be done to make it so. First, the course is poorly marked for yardage. The golf carts should be equipped with gps. It would help the golfers and speed up play. Second, the outside staff should be more professional. The last time I played, the bag guy was texting when we came in after our round and showed no interest in helping us with our bags. Third, the clubhouse has very little life to it. Don’t know how to change this, but go to other courses and notice the activity in the clubhouse after a round of golf.
Typical Florida real estate golf, only “worth it” with off-season pricing…but the greens were excellent. Great staff.
Great course, great staff
Interesting course and well maintained. Staff was wonderful. Thanks for a great round!
Spanish Wells: Thumbs Up
I really liked Spanish Wells. It is an attractive venue winding through a pretty community. The course(s) divide into nines (I played the north and east), each of them well maintained and built for scoring. Very, very playable. The friendly staff was also very accommodating as we waited out a storm warning and got us going quickly when all clear. Recommended.
