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.

Overall the course is fine to play. Some of the tee boxes need work and some of the bunkers were not groomed after golfers hit out of the sand. We were about 4:15 for 18 which is somewhat slow!

Not worth the price

Course was ok - average conditions, but layout is wonky. They have 3 nine hole courses and it seems they tried to jam them in there. Range, putting green practice areas were ok - just for the price it was worth it. Maybe if it was $75 with cart ???

Big bucks. Not worth it.

Expensive course. No towels on a wet day. No water on the cart. No ball cleaners on the cart or on the course. Tees on North course were like a cow pasture. Mowers distracted from golf. No GPS on carts for a “high end” course.

A nice round of golf

We have played this course - one of the few public courses in Naples. The staff is really friendly and the pace of play was good. There is a big difference in the grass between the North and South courses - even the greens.

South course was not in as good as shape especially the tees. Very beat up. Lots of water hazards and some narrow fairways. Some difficult 90 degree holes for sure. I lost 4 golf balls. I don't think it is worth $150.00 but we don't have many alternate choices.
