About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6563 yards
Slope 137
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.

First time at Spanish Wells CC

A beautiful course, narrow and challenging with a lot of water. North course rather difficult for our skill level, East course a lot more enjoyable and a bit easier. Great staff from Pro Shop to Bag drop…Thank you!

I enjoyed the East Course. The North Course is target golf, forget the driver. A bit too gimmicky.

Very nice

Kinda pricey but I thought it was worth it. Fairways and greens are great. Didn’t see a cart girl but was able to grab a dog/brat at the turn. Definitely will be going back.

Enjoyable Day of Golf

Friendliest staff all season. Hood value at off season rates. Multiple tee boxes allow enjoyable day with good pace of plsy. Large greens, wider fairways. Adequate, clean facilities. Carts in great shape, quiet. Probably not walkable because of distance between holes. Beautiful setting with adequate vegetation/lakes. No firced carries.. We’ll play again, depending on rates “in season.”
