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.

Fun course but limited amenities.

This was an extremely fun course to play. It’s course offers 3 9 hole courses that each were different enough that it felt unique to play. Unfortunately due to the recent hurricane the putting green and range are closed down due to damages, but all in all it was a very enjoyable experience.

Simple and fun

One of my go to courses in Fort Myers. Cool aqua driving range but other than that practice facilities aren’t great. Pretty easy course to go out and shoot your record at. Can be slow depending on when you play. They did a really good job cramming 27 holes into not the biggest property. Overall a very good fun course but you pretty much get what you pay for maybe a little less.

Enjoyable course to play

Found the course to be in very good condition considering the past hurricane. The greens played at a decent speed.The tee boxes could have been mowed lower. The sand traps were in good shape.The fairways were also in good playing condition. The one draw back was the condition of the golf cart. Could have used a wash job…a little muddy/dirty.

I will play the course again.

First Time

A great course that is well located near 75 and Tamiami making it easy to get to. The staff was very friendly and all carried a smile. The track is nice, played the East and North course. Lots of water but hey, that’s golf. Will definitely be back.
