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.

Nice but slow

We played on a Monday, what one of the bag guys called. “Funday Monday” where they let residents who are not members of the club play. Two very nice women filled out our foursome,, and we had a lovely time. The only problem iwas the four I gentleman in front of us who labored over every shot, and as a result, we waited on every shot on every hole. No more “Funday Mondays”!

We waited from the first to the last whole. I have played this in the past. One time the pace was okay but the other time the pace was horrible as well. A staff person said even though they can play for free, from January through March, they will not play the course for this exact reason. Too expensive for the for the slowness.

The course is in good shape - fairways and greens superb. Staff is friendly and helpful. Pace of play a little slow (4:30). Enjoyed the round.

One of few public accessible in Bonita Springs area

Decent track, good value at $109 hot deal for the area compared to the public exec par 3 courses. Pace of play was roughly 4 hours. Didn’t get too backed up until last 2 holes of north course. Watch your distance off of tees - lots of short holes on east course. Should have moved back a set of tees.

Reliable

Always good condition for amount of play. Greens were a little slow. Good turf in fairways. No real problem with pace of play. Value is the average for SW Florida public course which as you know is getting stupid silly. I do recommend.

Golf at Spanish Wells

OK course. North course has some awful holes that need to be redesigned. South and East courses are much better layouts.
