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.

I was a single but was grouped with three very nice folks and had an enjoyable afternoon. The course was in good shape, with true but challenging greens. Watch for GN deals.

Ace

Very nice course with good staffing! Pace was ok but did have to wait on occasion. The fairways tend to be a little tight and there is a lot of water to contend with on some holes. We played the North-South course.

Had. a nice time on the course.

Not well maintained

For the price, this course is very unkept. Tee boxes are like deep rough, lots of clover in the fairways, and the carry paths are in dire need of upkeep.

SW ohio

This was the only course we played on vacation that did not treat non-members as unwanted guests. The staff was friendly and amenities were available to all golfers. While this course has many short holes, it does offer challenges such as precision shot making and contoured greens. We will definitely return to this course.

Golf in Bonita Springs

This is a nice little course and it is a good value compared to other courses in the area. There is 27 holes which makes it an interesting course. The staff is very friendly, polite and professional. The pace of play is slow, but better than other places in southwest Florida in January. The course has a lot of water and while shorter it is challenging and the high handicapper should bring some extra balls. Overall this is a great course and I would recommend it. It is highly likely the course will go private soon as there seems to be more and more people buying properties in Spanish Wells.

The cons are the food. There is not a very good place to get a good brat or burger at the end of the round and enjoy a beer in the Florida sun.
