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
Nice course with rude staff
Upon arrival the two gentlemen at bag drop were unpleasant and did not offer any bag help. Then while on the course, we needed to use the restroom and found a keypad lock. Called the pro shop 3x, finally answered and lady said very rudely, ‘You will have to hold’ Once we were able to ask for the bathroom code, she said it’s 1***. Like as in the course holes and par. Like one was just to assume that was the code.
When waiting to tee off with the Marshal, one of our foursome said she was trying to get her shirt* together (being funny) and the Marshal said, ‘You are going to talk like that in front of your daughter?’ (Our 10 year old daughter was playing in our foursome) His vocal judgment was completely inappropriate.
The only friendly staff in our entire experience was the lady at the snack bar. She was 5 star friendly and helpful.
We were so extremely disappointed with our experience, as we had seriously considered membership at this club.
East 9 is better than the South 9
Our first time playing this course. Staff were very friendly and helpful. However, the standard of the course was below par, particularly the South course. Quality of grass on the fairways and greens was poor. The East course was better.
Course not maintain well
Greens were good , Fairways were not in good shape had weeds and anything else that can grow on it . some tees were put in the fairways grass .dirt area on fairways
I do live on a private golf course in Bonita Springs . Are course was closed do to course maintenance .We went here because of it locations . I am just amaze they can get $150-160 in season when the snow birds are here . Supply and demand
Not worth the rate paid
This course was not in great condition, except for the greens, which were quick and well maintained. The staff were friendly when you could find them, but the pace of play was slow and the amenities sparse. This was not because they did not have amenities, but there wasn't any staff there. This may have been attributable to this being the slow season and the members don't seem to use the bar, restaurant, etc.. The grass in the fairways and rough were spotty at best resulting in dead patches in many areas. I would not play this course again for the price paid.
Too much money for the conditions
The fairways were bare ground in some spots, hard as a rock. Some of the greens were bad and very inconsistent. I was disappointed. I think the price was way too much for what we paid for this time in the season.
Everything close so early bar and kitchen…
Played the course three times lately never had a chance to play the north side as it is always packed! Starter and Marshall’s re great as they let me (single) play around people as I like to practice by myself and play quick 2.30 hours for 18 if I tee off after 3 PM
All a round course
Course in great shape fast greens but lay out fairly flat straight forward not a real challenge
